Integrating IAMMETER Energy Meters with ioBroker

Electricity costs are rising, but understanding your energy usage can lead to real savings. At IAMMETER, our mission is to empower users with smart tools that make it easy to monitor, analyze, and optimize power consumption. Whether through local dashboards or home automation platforms like ioBroker, IAMMETER helps you take control of your electricity bills—effectively and affordably.

Introduction: Seamless Integration of IAMMETER Smart Meters with ioBroker

IAMMETER offers powerful Wi-Fi-enabled energy meters (such as EMW3080 and EMW3080T) that are widely used for residential and commercial energy monitoring, especially in solar PV systems. Integrating these smart meters into ioBroker—an open-source IoT platform—allows users to gain real-time insights into energy consumption, solar generation, and grid export/import data, all within a customizable dashboard.

This integration enables:

  • ⚡ Smart energy monitoring with IAMMETER devices
  • 🏠 Compatibility with smart home automation via ioBroker
  • 🌞 Efficient tracking of solar energy production and usage
  • 💾 Local-first architecture—no cloud dependency

Whether you're a solar enthusiast, home automation user, or an energy efficiency advocate, this guide shows you how to connect IAMMETER meters to ioBroker, step-by-step.


1. ioBroker Parser Configuration

1.1 Add the Parser Adapter

Navigate to the "Adapters" section in ioBroker and search for the Parser adapter. Install it.

Add Parser Adapter Install Parser


1.2 Configure the Parser

After installation, configure the parser to read data from your IAMMETER device (for example, if your meter’s IP is 192.168.15.60).

For EMW3080 / (Single-phase meter):

text复制编辑emw3080_voltage       http://admin:admin@192.168.15.60/monitorjson    [regex]   V   60000ms  
emw3080_current       http://admin:admin@192.168.15.60/monitorjson    [regex]   A   60000ms  
emw3080_power         http://admin:admin@192.168.15.60/monitorjson    [regex]   W   60000ms  
emw3080_ImportEnergy  http://admin:admin@192.168.15.60/monitorjson    [regex]   kWh 60000ms  
emw3080_exportgrid    http://admin:admin@192.168.15.60/monitorjson    [regex]   kWh 60000ms

For EMW3080T (Three-phase meter):

Parser fields for voltage, current, power, import/export energy on each phase (A/B/C) are configured similarly with array-style RegEx. Full config can be found in the original reference.


1.3 Start the Parser Instance

Go to Instances and start parser.0.

Start Parser


1.4 Verify Data Points

Navigate to Objectsparser.0 to confirm that the parsed values from IAMMETER are correctly listed.

2. ioBroker Display (Visualization)

2.1 Install VIS Adapter

In the Adapters section, install the Visualisation (vis) adapter.

Install VIS Adapter VIS Configuration

Open the visual editor using the following URL:

bash


复制编辑
http://<your_ip>:8082/vis/edit.html?main#DemoView

Example: http://192.168.12.194:8082/vis/edit.html?main#DemoView


2.2 Create a Custom Dashboard

Use the drag-and-drop interface to build your energy monitoring dashboard.

VIS Editor Example

Add components such as:

  • Line charts for real-time power tracking
  • Gauges for voltage and current
  • Text widgets showing energy import/export
  • Icons to represent solar vs. grid flows

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

🔧 Q1: What IAMMETER devices are supported in this integration?

A: All IAMMETER meters with local HTTP API support, including:

  • EMW3080 (single-phase)
  • EMW3080T (three-phase)

🌐 Q2: Do I need internet access for this to work?

A: No. All data communication occurs locally over HTTP, as long as both the IAMMETER device and ioBroker instance are on the same LAN.


🖼️ Q3: Can I build real-time dashboards?

A: Absolutely. ioBroker VIS enables customizable dashboards using real-time energy data from IAMMETER meters.


🧰 Q4: Is programming knowledge required?

A: Not at all. Just copy the correct URLs and regular expressions into the parser configuration. No coding is needed.


☁️ Q5: Can I still use IAMMETER Cloud in parallel?

A: Yes. You can use IAMMETER Cloud and ioBroker simultaneously for both local and remote energy monitoring.
