I've been using Node Red for several years.? It's been fantastic to allow me to do various automation functions around the house without knowing how to code. I have some extra input/output PC boards I designed to interface to a raspberry pi.? The board has 4 opto isolated inputs and connects to the generic cheap 8 relay boards found all over the Internet. These are bare boards and you will need to supply your own parts. I have a small number of 26 pin headers and ribbon cables left. I only want to cover postage and a couple of bucks for the 26 pin headers and ribbon cables. The boards are no charge. If your interested, I can supply a .png of the schematic.? The picture shown here is a populated board I will be keeping but gives you an idea of what the board is. Randy WB0VHB

While you are waiting for Dave to help, it appears your W2 serial connection is working, because the backgrounds have changed color.
However, the W2 is not updating the data because it is locked up.? Dave is working on a fix for that.
Power cycle the W2 to force it to make a new connection.

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".
Step 2 - Select USB port; ?The status on the serial node should show "connected" or OK, when you select the correct port. ? Should be the same as I have in mine, if you have only one USB cable:

I use the metering in the KPA1500. I kept monitoring and control simple, to what I need for remote operation. But the nice thing with Node Red is any avalable command or info returned can be displayed. It is just how crazy you want to go.

Having used a W2 until last week (but for about 10 years previous) I found that I needed to hit 'scan' more than once.
Changing scales requires you to do math on the reported values.
BTW, for Scan, I think it requires a special firmware from Elecraft, but you would need to confirm they actually made the firmware public.

You are close.? Looks like the W2 is talking nice with the Raspberry Pi / Node-Red.
I will turn this over to Dave now to get you going
Dave - I received the same error message.? For me, installing the gate node on F, R, and S solved the problem.

If you click on the error it should highlight the node where the error is located. Cannot reas subsrt of undefined sounds like the node is not receiving data.
Bret, i¡¯m hitting the bed. Call me tomorrow whenever u have time. I can go over my process for debugging. I will also merge Alan¡¯s changes with the W2 flow I have in the file section.?

Step one - Use the Serial Request Node.? Remove Serial out node, wire inputs to Serial Request Node out. ? Same for "in".
Step 2 - Select USB port; ?The status on the serial node should show "connected" or OK, when you select the correct port. ? Should be the same as I have in mine, if you have only one USB cable:
Click as shown, to adjust settings. ? Also, on this setup page you can also enter the Serial Port name as Andreas has suggested.? I have not done this, yet, for mine, because I have only one USB connection so far and the USB0 port is working for me.? Should for you too.
Reboot Pi
Power Cycle W2.
Done

Changing scales requires you to do math on the reported values.
BTW, for Scan, I think it requires a special firmware from Elecraft, but you would need to confirm they actually made the firmware public.

I have finished the display portion of the W2 wattmeter flow.
What control functionality would you like to see? Forward power meter in auto range or manually set? (I personally like auto range).
Sensor auto scan or manually selectable? Or a choice between the two?
What other controls?
Once I get some feedback I will be able to have a flow publicly available to test.

Dave,
I use auto range and and sensor scan in my code. That way I don't have to worry about which sensor is active at the time.

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 if the names get rearranged for whatever reason. 73, Andreas, N6NU

Works for me using serial to USB FTDI cable.?

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. ?Be sure to remove the unused TCP nodes. ?Then reboot pi, reboot W2.?

I use the metering in the KPA1500. I kept monitoring and control simple, to what I need for remote operation. But the nice thing with Node Red is any avalable command or info returned can be displayed. It is just how crazy you want to go.
For the people new to Node Red, install it and load some flows to look at the different nodes ?nodes to see how we manipulate the data. Looking at examples helps to learn.
As always, ask questions here. Pretty much any equipment with serial, USB, or IP can be added.?

Having used a W2 until last week (but for about 10 years previous) I found that I needed to hit 'scan' more than once.
Changing scales requires you to do math on the reported values.
BTW, for Scan, I think it requires a special firmware from Elecraft, but you would need to confirm they actually made the firmware public.

Bret. Use these settings.?
Instead of the TCP in and TCP out nodes, use the TCP Request Node.? It has an input and an output, just substitute for the TCP in and the TCP out.
Here is a screenshot of the settings for the TCP Request Node I found works best:

The USB serial cable shows connected in the flow and nothing popping?out looking at the Debug for that Flow? Phone number here is 4357499012? Thanks a lot Bret WX7Y

And if the third place in the information string is 1 then meter scaling is set for 0 to 2 watts. I was able to do some pretty cool stuff.
I just need guidance on what people want for control of the meter.
I use the metering in the KPA1500. I kept monitoring and control simple, to what I need for remote operation. But the nice thing with Node Red is any avalable command or info returned can be displayed. It is just how crazy you want to go.
For the people new to Node Red, install it and load some flows to look at the different nodes ?nodes to see how we manipulate the data. Looking at examples helps to learn.
As always, ask questions here. Pretty much any equipment with serial, USB, or IP can be added.?

Having used a W2 until last week (but for about 10 years previous) I found that I needed to hit 'scan' more than once.
Changing scales requires you to do math on the reported values.
BTW, for Scan, I think it requires a special firmware from Elecraft, but you would need to confirm they actually made the firmware public.

Actually I don¡¯t have any at the moment.
Yes, I¡¯m getting my way around. Currently I¡¯m adapting some of our flows to my set up and combining them. And just started reading about Node Red and APC UPS.

Hope you are progressing with Node Red.
What wattmeter do you use now? Does it have connectivity either via serial or USB?
Dave wo2x ?
Darn...I should add a W2 to the equipment wish list.

I have finished the display portion of the W2 wattmeter flow.
What control functionality would you like to see? Forward power meter in auto range or manually set? (I personally like auto range).
Sensor auto scan or manually selectable? Or a choice between the two?
What other controls?
Once I get some feedback I will be able to have a flow publicly available to test.
