Aeon HomeEnergyMonitor

If you have version 3.58 or later of the HEM firmware (unrelated to Vera's firmware), it supports the ability to report in real-time whenever there is a change in the energy consumption.  It generates a report for Vera whenever there is a change.

For versions 3.57 and lower, the only way to get real time energy reporting was to have the HEM send Vera reports constantly, whether or not there was a change.  This required powering the HEM with USB power.  So we recommend using the USB port on the HEM to upgrade to firmware 3.58 or newer, as per the instructions on aeon-labs.com

There have been reported issues with HEM firmware less than 3.61. If you don't have 3.61, download these files:

US version: HEM361

US version: HEM367

Inclusion

When including the HEM to the Vera unit you should have the HEM powered with the USB AC adapter.

Note

You need to have it plugged in through the USB AC adapter for it to report the KWH accurately, because when it is battery operated it sleeps most of the time and it cannot accurately track KWH.
