Re: W2 wattmeter support

Re: W2 wattmeter support
Bret - This is what worked for me: Step one - Use the Serial Request Node. Remove Serial out node, wire inputs to Serial Request Node out. Same for "in". [image: Screen Shot 2020-07-18 at 10.00.01

Re: W2 wattmeter support

Re: W2 wattmeter support
My experience is that it is best to specify the serial port by ID This is especially helpful when using more than one serial adapter or multi serial adapter on the same Pi. It will protect your setup

Re: W2 wattmeter support
You say the usb cable shows as connected. Good Linux found the USB port. Use the same USB port with the settings I sent you, and use the TCP Request node instead of the two TCP in and TCP out nodes.
