Installation

WARNING: Please do not use the Internet Explorer "IE" Browser to install this plugin. There have been multiple reported problems with IE being used to upload plugins via Vera's Luup Plug installation pages.

1. Download the ZIP file from directly from Source control
2. Expand the ZIP File to extract the 6x files, their names should be exactly as follows:
   • D_BrultechPowerMeter1.xml
   • S_BrultechPowerMeter1.xml
   • I_BrultechPowerMeter1.xml
   • D_BrultechPowerMeter1.json
   • D_BrultechPowerSensor1.xml
   • D_BrultechPowerSensor1.json
3. Follow the instructions for Plugin Installation outlined ​Install Luup Plugins
   1. For the UpnpDevFilename field, use "D_BrultechPowerMeter1.xml"
   2. For the Description field, use "Brultech"

This will create the Brultech device, but it's Serial Port still needs to be assigned and another Save / Restart cycle performed.

TODO: Document HowTo page for Serial port assignment.

Errors

• The Plugin doesn't yet support Ascii or Binary format data directly from the device, it only works for the Plug & Play models right now.
• The Plugin doesn't support changing the Labels of the 7-Channels yet, each will be generated as "Meter - n"
• Each MiOS Device only supports one ECM-1240, work needs to be done to have it handle "n" of these Devices with a single MiOS Device.
• The "ActiveMeters" Parameter, on the Parent Device, is not documented (it takes a comma-list of Channel #'s to filter the UI)
