Team,

After the super easy installation of the nicely priced Home Wizard watermeter (post with instructions & more details) a friend using Homeseer also bought it.
Because there’s no native Homeseer integration I decided to create a script that allow Homeseer users to use this watermeter.

Requirements

Homeseer > 4.0
(tested on HS 4.1.17 running on Windows, it may work on older and newer HS versions)
HomeWizard Smart watermeter

Homeseer Setup

It is quite easy to setup this watermeter in Homeseer.

1. Setup watermeter (see the install post)
2. Write down the watermeter IP address
   (ideally, create a DHCP reservation so the device always gets the same IP address)
3. Create a new Homeseer device
4. Rename device + subdevice
5. Get device ID of subdevice (see number in URL when editing the device)
6. Copy homewizard-watermeter.vb to the following folder: \HomeSeer 4\scripts\
7. Edit: Open homewizard-watermeter.vb and update the IP address and the device ID.
8. Save
9. Create an event that runs every x minutes and that executes this script
10. Save and enable event

Now see what happens and check the Homeseer log if it fails.
NOTE: for this to work, “Local API” access needs to be enabled.

DOWNLOAD: homewizard-watermeter.zip
containing homewizard-watermeter.vb.

Support

#1 Troubleshooting: you can uncomment 2 “writelog” lines in the .vb code. This will cause a bit more information to be written to the HS log.

#2 Comment on this post or post a message in the this Homeseer forum.

Enjoy!
