Counter for connection to 1-wire network [Version 2.1]

Batteri CR2032 is purchased separately

Pulse counter based on DS2423P with battery backup for connection to 1wire bus.

New in version 2.1 is that the counter is better at filtering out disturbances on the inputs.

The backup battery ensures that the memory is not reset when the counter is disconnected from the 1wire network. Under normal circumstances, the battery lasts for several years.

To reduce the load on the battery, the recommendation is to connect all wires that need to be powered on the terminal marked NC.

The counter can be connected directly to an electricity meter with S0 output. If you do not have access to an S0 output, you can usually use an LED pulse detector.

The counter has two inputs/channels, so you can connect, for example, 2 electricity meters.

For information on how to connect the counter, see the wiki.

The counter fits in Plastic box small, but cannot be screwed in.

Example of how you can measure and present energy consumption in Linux can be found on the Wiki. The Windows software LogTemp also supports displaying energy consumption using the 1wire counter.
