Add KinCony modbus energy meter to home assistant using raspberry pi's RS485 port - admin - 02-16-2024
how to integrate KinCony modbus energy meter to home assistant using raspberry pi's RS485 port
A. use "inCony_Meter_config_tool" change RS485 " Parity: EVEN " to " Parity: NONE ", because we found home assistant can't work with "EVEN", KinCony energy meter default setting is "EVEN".
A-1: connect energy meter to PC by USB-RS485 adatper:
A-2: first time, use RS485 setting, Parity: EVEN (Chinese word on left is : 偶校验) click "打开" (open serial port) button.
KinCony_Meter_config_tool.zip (Size: 20.55 KB / Downloads: 112)
A-3: click "无校验" (None) button, set Parity: NONE
until now, "Parity" is set completed.
if you want change meter ID from 1, you can "set the meter ID", such as input 1,2,3,.... then click "改表号+读" (write button), it will set the ID for meter.
if you have changed Parity: NONE, you want connect to serial port again, you need change serial setting, Parity=None, Chinese word is "无校验"，then click "读" (Read) button, you will read all data from meter.
now the meter hardware setting is complete, then you can connect meter to KC868-Server or Server-Mini's RS485 port directly. see photo:

You rock sir. Perfectly works.
One comment: I don't use Windows as native OS so I used config tool in windows Virtual Machine. Had to install this driver to get COM recognized: https://www.wch-ic.com/downloads/CH341SER_ZIP.html
Cheers!

ok, good.
RE: Add KinCony modbus energy meter to home assistant using raspberry pi's RS485 port - sebagarayco - 03-14-2024
meter-consumption is stuck at 0.04 kWh since several weeks and I had a lot of consumption since then.
How to verify if it works correctly?
RE: Add KinCony modbus energy meter to home assistant using raspberry pi's RS485 port - admin - 03-14-2024
what's the value on meter's display about it?
RE: Add KinCony modbus energy meter to home assistant using raspberry pi's RS485 port - admin - 03-18-2024
if use new home assistant, Please remove count=## lines from the modbus config part of configuration.yaml because now count is only valid for data_type: custom and data_type: string and is invalid for all other data types like int16, uint16 etc.

Hi Kincony, I'm having issues with this modbus meter since I set it up as you indicated me.
For months, the meter-consumption is showing 0.04kWh and not changing value. The only parameters that are showing correctly are the meter-voltage and meter-frequency..
How to fix it?
Attached is a screenshot and this is my config:

what's the meter-consumption showed on meter's LCD displayer? whether also is 0.04kWh?

I think it's 000000.
Voltage is ~230v
Frequency is ~50
PF is 100
C is 1600
Now I have fours bulbs ON and I see no consumption. How to fix ?
RE: Add KinCony modbus energy meter to home assistant using raspberry pi's RS485 port - admin - 06-06-2024
let your bulbs ON for one day, then check the value.
