Integrate IAMMETER`s energy meter into Victron Venus OS
Seamless Integration of IAMMETER with Victron Energy's Venus OS for Enhanced Solar Energy Management
https://www.iammeter.com/newsshow/Victron-Venus-os
IAMMETER has introduced a streamlined integration with Victron Energy’s Venus OS, enabling users to effortlessly monitor and optimize their solar power systems. This development allows data from IAMMETER’s Wi-Fi energy meters (WEM3080T or WEM3080) to be displayed directly in the Victron VRM portal and on local GX devices such as the Cerbo GX.
The integration process is straightforward: users only need to install a simple data forward script on IAMMETER's platform and configure it to push real-time meter readings to the Venus OS system. This setup facilitates seamless communication between IAMMETER meters and Victron’s powerful energy management ecosystem.
Once connected, the IAMMETER meters can function as external AC energy meters within Victron's environment. This is particularly valuable for solar PV installations, where accurate monitoring of grid consumption, solar generation, and load usage is essential. The solution supports both single-phase and three-phase systems, offering flexibility for various residential and commercial applications.
With this integration, users gain deeper insights into their energy flow, enabling better decisions for self-consumption optimization, battery storage control, and overall energy efficiency. IAMMETER continues to expand its compatibility with third-party platforms, reinforcing its mission to make energy monitoring more open, accessible, and intelligent.
This collaboration with Victron Energy opens new possibilities for solar professionals and enthusiasts looking to build smarter and more responsive energy systems using trusted tools from both IAMMETER and Victron.
WEM3080T:
wget https://github.com/lewei50/dbus-iammeter/archive/refs/heads/main.zip
unzip main.zip "dbus-iammeter-main/*" -d /data
mv /data/dbus-iammeter-main /data/wem3080t
chmod a+x /data/wem3080t/install.sh
vi /data/wem3080t/config.ini
# change CustomName, DeviceInstance, Host and other Other options you may need to modify
/data/wem3080t/install.sh
rm main.zip
CustomName = WEM3080T
DeviceInstance = 40
Host=10.10.30.38
- Each DeviceInstance must be unique.
- Change config.ini according to your situation
WEM3050T:
wget https://github.com/lewei50/dbus-iammeter/archive/refs/heads/main.zip
unzip main.zip "dbus-iammeter-main/*" -d /data
mv /data/dbus-iammeter-main /data/wem3050t
chmod a+x /data/wem3050t/install.sh
vi /data/wem3050t/config.ini
# change CustomName, DeviceInstance, Host and other Other options you may need to modify
/data/wem3050t/install.sh
rm main.zip
CustomName = WEM3050T
DeviceInstance = 41
Host=10.10.30.35
- Each DeviceInstance must be unique.
- Change config.ini according to your situation
Great job to do this.
do you have a setup list and foto? (victron)
As I understand it, Victron Energy’s Venus OS is a platform similar to Home Assistant, providing various options (such as HTTP GET, Modbus/TCP, RTU, etc.) to read data from connected devices.
Our work so far has focused on leveraging these capabilities to integrate IAMMETER’s energy meter into the Venus OS system and ensure the data is parsed correctly.
However, I searched the Victron Energy Venus OS website but was unable to find a dedicated page or section for integrations, similar to what Home Assistant offers. If you have any pointers or can share a link to such documentation for Venus OS integrations, it would be greatly appreciated.
