Adding 2nd Emon TX V3

Submitted by JBlackham on Tue, 06/10/2015 - 19:10

It is set to be node 9. The other one is node 10.

Is that correct? Anything special about adding another Emon TX?

Do I just hook it up and the EmonBase will see it?

Any help much appreciated!

That's about it. If your emonBase is an emonPi running the latest version, Node 9 should be in the configuration file, so it should just happen.

It is not limited to two, but as all emonTx's transmit (essentially) at random times, the more you have, the bigger the payload and the more frequently they transmit, the more likely it is that two transmissions will collide in the rf path and both will be blocked. 15 circuits implies 4 × emonTx, I think that this number should be OK for most of the time, but you can expect to lose a result occasionally.
