FoxESS Community - Owners & Installers Forum

Hi all. In the interests of trying to help, I thought someone may find the attached helpful with their thinking for where CTs/Energy-Meters might be placed in the chain. I'm not an expert! Always seek advice from a competent person. My setup includes: FoxESS H1 (6kW) 12kWh (ECS4100) AC Connection ...

Hi Calum. It's been working well so far for me. I've had it running for a good few months now. I've been on a fixed rate with E.On up to the end of March and transferred to Octopus in April in readiness for Flux after my SolarPV+Battery gets signed off. The GLOW picked up the SMETS2 changes. There's ...

Hello all. I post this on the HA community forum. But thought it might come in handy for people who are "new" to configuring HA to work with RS485 energy meters. With the help of people across teh HA community, I’ve got my Eastrons working as I hoped. So here’s a copy of my modbus config for all tho ...

Normally I would prefer to use an Eastron (I have on in circuit) over CT but having switched to the FoxESS platform my mind has ...

Hi. Can I ask those who have an H1 (of Fox more widely) a few questions regarding the the MeterRS485 lugs Is there a noticeable benefit in using these lugs over a CT clamp? Have you tried daisy-chaining these lugs to a converter (USB/USR-W610) so you can continue to monitor the "Meter" with emonCMS ...

Hello all. I'm wanting to daisy chain 6 energy meters in my CU, along with a Fox H1, and then terminating at a RS485-USB (with a 120Ohm resister at the last connection point). My question is, what cable SHOULD I use? Most places I look defer to a Belden 3105A (2 core shielded) cable. But I'm not ...

Hi. I have a GLOW IHD (Hildebrand) connected to my Home Assistant MQTT Broker. In HA, I have some sensors (obviously), three of which read the price per kWh (Import & Export) and the standing charge directly from my SMETS2.
