I tried that several times, but the puls Kwh meter doesn't show up.

To be sure it all works, in my environment.

does the green light at the metering adapter pulse input blink or is it allways on ?

Mine is always on during startup (after put the adapter in and out of the power socket) and after a couple of minutes it starts blinking every once in while.

Is this normal ?

The green led next to the point where the cable is plugged into the meteradapter will pulse on each S0 pulse. You could check this as I think you should have the same pulse on the LCD of your meter (only it is doing 2000 instead of 1000 imp/kwh).
So it looks like the meter adapter is reading the pulses correctly. This could be a meter adapter product version issue, read also here viewtopic.php?f=87&t=11233&start=30#p85394

Edit: you already commented on that topic :-)

Mabey is it a software issue of the measuring adaptor, my measering adaptor software is 0.25/0.13 this is one out of the year 2016, the serial started with 16-xx-xxx-xxxx

Can this be an issue ?

That one is supported.

Contacted Eneco this morning and they will sent me a new adapter, without any questions asked.

Today I received a new Toon Meteradapter and now it's working as expected.

So I can confirm you need the newest adapter to measure pulses from a Kwh meter.

So I'm a happy user, which now can see my 'zonnepanelen opbrengst', helemaal gedaan zonder Eneco monteur maar wel met jullie hulp :)

Hello I got it running i think , but i cant find the solar graphs in toon, i`m running version 4.10.6 activated de Solar an Solaractivated to 1 in scsync rebooted, noted that my measuring adapter switched from learning to stroom gas and zon.
But i cant find some extra menu or extra tile to place on the front.
reading true some log files /mnt/data/qmf/log

tail -f 98__UNKNOWN_.log.json

["2017-12-25 17:28:13 +0100",98,2,0,"Rrd change dev uuid old %s new %s",["placeholder","2825ff69-58da-4826-ab82-ecf9e8adcf48"]],
["2018-03-23 07:44:43 +0100",98,2,0,"Rrd created rrdName %s devUuid %s",["elec_solar_flow","8c1a7086-7f8e-43b4-b151-5d7cd2472f41"]],

i see that some logging database started when my panels starting delivering power to the net.
So far so good but nothing futher

So when you click on a empty tile to add a new tile, you don't see the solar tiles in the tiles to select from? That's weird if the rest seems to work.

And when you check your electricity usage on the Toon, doesn't the graph have the uption 'production' (yellow instead of blue) graph also?

The specific code to load the solar apps is in Globals.qml:

Code: Select all

                                if (features["solar"] === "1" && solarInHcbConfig === 1) {
                                        appsToLoad.push("solar");
                                }
You could try to add the 'solar' app manually in the well known place in Globals.qml (where toonstore etc is added).
However there is a reason why this isn't working for you. Not sure yet where it can go wrong.
