EKM Metering

Wouter, Sounds like a cool system. We will help you out in any way that we can. Here is the string parsing document for the EKM-Omnimeter: http://documents.ekmmetering.com/Meter_Communication_Parsing_Submeter_v3.pdf The last 2 bytes are a CRC-16 checksum. The Omnimeter communicates at 9600 baud, 7 d...

Hi Tim, This sounds really good! We are looking forward to seeing what you come up with. Labview looks like an interesting tool to use for displaying meter data. We are always interested in new ways to read the meters and are happy to hear you are willing to share the software when you are done. Tha...

Well, we are actually currently re-writting the the EKM Reader software and would like to be able to add the EKM Push data as one of the available data sources. It should be a simple matter. We hope to have this available within 4 to 6 weeks. We would also like to see our meter data be fed to Pachub...

We now have the 485Bees back in stock. Thanks for pointing out the zigbee to serial converters. We will be interested in hearing your results. More and better ways of reading our meters are always of interest to us. We used to use the 2.4gHz wireless mesh, but have found the 900 mHz wireless mesh ra...

Good question. The Indoor Enclosure Kit can be either a surface mount or a flush mount (depending on which cover and hardware you use). The metal bracket you are referring to is used in the flush mount application. It is used to hold the enclosure tight to the drywall from behind. You first cut out ...

Yes you are right the customer feedback we get is essential for guiding the direction that we take here at EKM. If you have any more ideas or feature requests, please let us know. Here is a link to the string parsing for the v.3 meters: http://documents.ekmmetering.com/Meter_Communication_Parsing_Su...

Very interesting. We like the idea and this could be a solution we would consider in the future, but at this point we are focusing on getting you the data to the web (which is ultimately where you need it in most cases) in a format you can easily use. In this way we essentially skip over the need fo...

Thanks for the heads up...

Spam has been zapped!! (for now)

There are a couple options for you: 1... You can use the v.2 RS-485 protocol found here: http://documents.ekmmetering.com/Meter_Communication_Parsing_AMR_v2.pdf This is a simple request response string that returns most of the data that is stored inside of the meter. If you use our free software and...

I wanted to start a discussion about how to parse the data coming from the EKM-Omnimeter. Here is a link to the string parsing for our EKM Omnimeter: http://documents.ekmmetering.com/Meter_Communication_Parsing_Submeter_v3.pdf This is a simple request response string that returns most of the data th...
