How to add an Accuvim L HTTP Push in the Platform
Steps in the Accuenergy web interface
1. First, enter the WEB Server of your Accuvim L and access the Settings section where the future Communications window must be configured.
2. Copy the configuration as shown in the Network tab under Communications:
3. Copy the settings as shown in the Time/Date tab:
4. Configure the Data Log tab within Communications:
Important:
- Post Channel = Select the channel set on the Post Channel section (see below)
- Log File Format = csv
- Timestamp Format = Local Time String
- Log File Name Format = Time Interval Format
- Log Interval = 15 minutes or higher (5 minutes only exceptional cases)
- Log File Name Prefix = not important, as we will configure the Post File Name in the next step.
5. Post Channel tab within Communications:
It is important to copy all the configuration parameters as they appear in the image.
- Post File Name = name of the file to be imported into the platform. It can be any name and must be in .csv format.
- HTTP/HTTPS Meter ID = will correspond to the term "Key" that will be displayed on the platform.
The Post File Name and the HTTP/HTTPS Meter ID usually/may match and be the same (but in the second case without the .csv).
6. Finally, it is recommended to activate Remote Access, so that both support@dexma.com and the AccuEnergy Support Team can assist if necessary. With the generated URL, we will be able to access the necessary tests and modify the necessary configuration parameters.
Once these steps have been completed in the Accuenergy Web Interface, the steps within the Dexma platform are the same as for the previous model (follow steps 6 to 10 of Accuvim II).
