Introduction

Welcome to the EKM METERING API!

We at EKM see easy access to your data, and the scalable systems behind the EKM Push, as crucial to moving our products into the future. To that end, we do what is unheard of in our industry, we give you your data for FREE.

The EKM API is organized around Representational State Transfer, or REST. You can use our Application Programming Interface, or API, to access EKM API endpoints, which can get you information on various EKM Push meter/ioStack data and utilize it in your own application, database, billing system, or building automation system.

We have language bindings in Shell (cURL), Ruby, Python, PHP, Perl, Java, Javascript and Nodejs! You can view code examples in the dark area to the right, and you can switch the programming language of the examples with the tabs in the top right.

Our API is designed to have predictable, resource-oriented URLs and to use HTTP response codes to indicate API errors. We use built-in HTTP features, like HTTP authentication and HTTP verbs, which can be understood by off-the-shelf HTTP clients, and we support cross-origin resource sharing to allow you to interact securely with our API from a client-side web application (though you should remember that you should never expose your secret EKM Push API key in any public website’s client-side code). JSON will be returned in all responses from the API, including errors (though if you’re using API bindings, we will convert the response to the appropriate language-specific object).

Authentication

To authorize, make sure to use your personal EKM Push account key.

The examples in this API documentation use the demo key of MTAxMDoyMDIw. Please make sure you remove this key and place your personal key in the https address if you are trying to access the meters in your account.

With shell, you can just pass the correct address with each request

Make sure to replace the sample key: MTAxMDoyMDIw, with your API key in the https address.

EKM uses API keys to allow access to the API. You authenticate to the EKM API by providing one of your unique API keys in each request. Each Push account holder is provided with an EKM Push User Key, which provides access to all meters in their account. This key carries lots of privileges so we encourage you to keep it secret. In addition to this master key, additional keys are also provided to give access to each meter/ioStack individually, and keys can be created to provide access to sub groups of meters/ioStacks upon request. These secondary keys can be used to share single meters/ioStacks, or a subset of meters/ioStacks, without sharing access to all meters/ioStacks in an account. For example, if you are a landlord with multiple rentals and meters/ioStacks, you could share specific meter/ioStack keys with each of your tenants, so that they could have access to only the data that pertains to their usage.

Authentication to the API occurs via HTTP Basic Auth. Provide your API key as the basic authorized username. You do not need to provide a password. You must authenticate for all requests.

The EKM Push API expects the API key to be included in all requests to the server. The key is included in the URL in the following way:

Authorization: key=MTAxMDoyMDIw

Realtime API

Click here to go to Realtime Documentation

If you are developing your own app, cloud-to-cloud solution, billing system, or other SAS solution, our Real-Time API allows you to easily access your EKM Push data in any format that you need. Below you will find descriptions regarding how to access the data, and about the filters you can apply so the data comes to you in a format that is easily digested and inserted into your software solution.

The real-time API provides the 1,000 latest meter readings for each of your meters/IOStack devices. If your device is being read once per minute, the data will be made available once per minute, per device. Whether you have one device or 10,000 devices, this is the easiest and most scalable way to access your data.

The EKM Dash, EKM Widget, encompass.io, wattvision.com, pvoutput.org, the other solutions in our Push App Store, as well as other customers that have their own custom solutions, all use this API to access their data. We use the same API as you and do not give ourselves any special permissions, we see what you see, which forces us to make the API as great as possible for everyone. We have even given you code examples that can be copy and pasted into your own software language to make the data access that much easier.

Use the API definition, metered values definition, code snippet suggestion, and guide to get you on your way to developing your next killer app. If you create something great, let us know; we’re open to adding all useful apps into the Push App Store.

We also have a Realtime API Request Builder Tool found here:

Realtime API Builder

Account API

Click here to go to Account API Documentation

This API provides information for accounts and devices owned by the account.

Get information for the specified target, which can be account, gateway, meter or ioStack.

You could make API request with the EKM Push Key that is your own Authorization Key that you received for your Push Account, or instead the EKM Push Key you could use Gateway Key for more restricted access. Be aware that if you use the Gateway Key, you will only receive information regards to that gateway.

Gateway Settings API

Click here to go to Gateway Settings API Documentation

This API is used to send commands and settings to devices connected to a Push3 gateway as well as the gateway device itself.

Trigger API

Click here to go to Trigger API Documentation

A REST API to lookup/create/update/delete triggers.

EKM Push3 gateway triggers are one of the most powerful tools that EKM has to offer. You can automate how and when the EKM Push system will react to metered values. You can have the Push gateway send you an email or control a relay to turn on/off a switch or close a valve based on the metered data for example. Push3 gateways have the ability trigger specific actions based on conditions that you set up. Triggers live on the Push3 gateways so they will continue to function even without an internet connection. Triggers can control the relays on the v.4 Omnimeters, in order to turn something on or off, or they can email you notifications of the trigger. Please note: v.3 Omnimeters do not have controllable relays, so the relay triggers will not work, but the email triggers will.

Summary API

Click here to go to Summary Documentation

Our Summary API takes every Real-Time read, over 15 minute time periods, and summarizes them into single 15 minute summaries. We store this data forever to provide a long term historical dataset for each meter. Our system can then combine these summaries together to summarize hours, days, weeks, and months. This dataset is often the best way to get historical values like kWh, pulse counts, etc. It also provides averages, min. and max. values, difference, and more. We make this data available to you via our Summary API in a very similar way to our Real-Time API.

You can use the Summary API definition to access the data you need, from 15 minutes to years of data. We have gone to great lengths to provide this data for free in order to add value to our metering systems. The Summary API, the Real-Time API, great affordable hardware, and scalable access to your data are all components of the most powerful, and highest value metering system available in the world.

We also have a Summary API Request Builder Tool found here: Summary API Builder

Summary V2 API

Click here to go to Summary V2 Documentation

Summary V2 API is a new set of summary features, such as First/Last to get the first and/or last reported date for the given meter(s)/ioStack(s), GStat for getting the status of one or more gateways, IOStack for getting information from new sensors, and more.

The API V2 summary and documentation are currently in beta, signifying that they are subject to changes and updates. It’s important to note that the API V2 calls and specifications provided in this documentation may undergo modifications as the beta phase progresses. Users should stay informed and regularly check for updates to ensure compatibility and adherence to the latest specifications

RS-485 Communications

This section is for developers, or individuals, that want to communicate with their EKM Meters directly using their own software or embedded solution.

The code examples found in this section are in the simplest possible method to get you started. You are welcome to make them more robust.

First we start you out just connecting to the meter. You will find there is a very simple command line process to help you get started.

After that we cover the CRC method required for most communication to the meter.

Then we put it all together, in a simple test script that will show reads, and also open and close the relays.

Last we cover how to convert the 255 character strings that the meter responds with to a usable array containing field names and their values. It is our hope that after you go through these steps you will have all the information you need, to build whatever tools you like to access the meter.

Our meters use an IEC 62056-21 communication standard that has been optimized for our own needs. We are more than happy to share this with you. With this you can write your own software or embedded solution to access your meter data.

IEC 62056 is a set of standards for Electricity metering data exchange by International Electrotechnical Commission.

To learn more about the IEC 62056 standard click the button below to visit the WikiPedia website.

v.4/v.5 Meter Alternate Modbus Protocol

If you are coding in Python you can also make use of our ekmmeters.py API.

Serial Settings

Send any of your meters on your RS-485 network this simple request (including the 12 digit meter number) and the targeted meter will respond with most of its data. If you use our EKM Dash software and utilize the “Hex Inspector” functionality under the “Help” menu item, it will simplify your job to be able to “see” the request and response (this is helpful for both the RS-485 parsing as well as parsing the EKM Push .xml data).

Serial Settings for v.3 and v.4 meters: 7 data bits, Even Parity, 1 Stop Bit, No Flow Control, 9600 baud rate.

Always send the “Close String” at the end of the transaction. This tells the meter that the communication session is over.

Close String Parameter

Parameter Description
01 42 30 03 75 Close String to end session

The last 2 bytes of the RS-485 return string are a CRC-16 checksum.

All values are Hexadecimal.

Example: 30 represents a 0, 31 represents a 1, 32 represents a 2, etc.

Hex to ASCII examples

Parameter Description
30 represents a 0
31 represents a 1
32 represents a 2
33 represents a 3
34 represents a 4
35 represents a 5
etc. This sequence continues

Once you have established a connection to the meter, you will want to start making use of the crc-16 checksum in communication with the meter. You do not need to validate the checksum on messages you receive from the meter, however, it is handy to verify that the message you received was complete. If the checksum fails then you can simply dump the message from the meter and send another request.

The second reasons for the checksum is, in order to send data to the meter you have to add the crc-16 checksum to your message, the meter will verify its correct before applying the command. Checksums are required to send instructions to the meter.

On messages you receive from the meter the checksum is calculated from the 2nd byte to the 3rd from the last byte.

For example when you receive a Type A response from a V4 meter you would get this:

1 Byte - 02 This first byte ( 02 ) indicates packet coming from meter. Not used to calculate CRC-16 Checksum
2 Bytes - 10 24 This is the meter version type. This is where the CRC-16 Checksum starts

8 Bytes - 30 30 30 30 30 30 34 35 This is Resettable Kilowatt Hour
8 Bytes - 30 30 30 30 30 30 30 37 This is Resettable Reverse kWh

14 Bytes - 32 32 30 32 32 31 30 31 32 33 33 37 30 31 This is the Current Time
2 Bytes - 30 30 This is Type A response from Meter
4 Bytes - 21 0D 0A 03 This is the Close String. This is were the CRC-16 calculation of the checksum ends
2 Bytes - ?? ?? This is were the CRC-16 Checksum will be placed

Where the first byte ( 02 ) is skipped and the last 2 CRC-16 checksum bytes are not used when sending it to the ekm_calc_crc16 function.

For sending instructions to the meter the checksum starts from the 2nd byte and goes to the end of the instruction string, then you append the checksum to the end before sending it to the meter.

For example, the instruction would look like this: 01 52 31 02 30 30 31 32 03.

You would not include the first byte of 01, you would call the ekm_calc_crc16 function only for 52 31 02 30 30 31 32 03.

The CRC-16 function would then return a checksum of: 2e 65.

Now that you have the checksum value you will append it to the end of the instruction string: 52 31 02 30 30 31 32 03 2e 65.

The first byte of 01 will also be included back into the instruction string before it is sent to the meter: 01 52 31 02 30 30 31 32 03 2e 65

The completed instruction string of: 01 52 31 02 30 30 31 32 03 2e 65, is now ready to be sent to the meter.

The example instruction code above represents how a typical CRC-16 checksum will be generated by calling on the ekm_calc_crc16 function. The instruction code can be a response from a message received by a v4 meter.

Communication Sequence for Reading Meter

If you would like to retrieve, or read, just the meter data then you would pass the following read request string on a v4 meter.

It is not necessary at this point to send a password request string if you are only reading the meter data.

Data A and Connection Request Format:

2F 3F ( 12 Byte Meter Number ) 30 30 21 0D 0A

Once communication with the meter has beed established it is not necessary to continue to send the Meter Data A and Connection Request string.

Example of a read request string for Data A and a meter number of 000300001184:

2F 3F 30 30 30 33 30 30 30 30 31 31 38 34 30 30 21 0D 0A

For example, you can now send the read request string for Meter Data B.

Data B Request Format:

2F 3F ( 12 Byte Meter Number ) 30 31 21 0D 0A

If you look at the request string, the 2 bytes after the meter number, is where the request for Data A or Data B is made. Requesting Data A you will use 30 30. If you want to request Data B you would use 30 31 in your request string to the meter.

At this point you can continue to send requests to the meter to get the Meter Data A or B readings, otherwise you can send the termination string to the meter to terminate the communication connection.

To end communication with the meter pass the following string:

01 42 30 03 75

If more meter readings are needed you can continue to send read requests to the meter as long as the termination string has not been sent.

Lets say that you need specific data returned. You would just pass that specific data request string to the meter.

For example, you need to get the data from your meter for the last 6 months of the Total kWh’s.

Then you would send this request string to the meter:

Total kWh Request String:

01 52 31 02 30 30 31 31 03 ?? ??

Or if you need the meter data for the last 6 months of Reverse kWh:

Reverse kWh Request String:

01 52 31 02 30 30 31 32 03 ?? ??

The two ( 2 ) sets of “Question Marks” ( ?? ?? ) equal the 2 bytes that the CRC-16 Checksum will be.

There is no limit to how many read requests you can send to the meter, as long as you start with the Meter Data A and Connection string first. Once that initial connection has been made with the meter you don’t have to repeat that connection string. You can continue to call the same read request, a different one, or a combination of meter requests.

Remember, once you have finished requesting all the meter reads you want, the close string must be sent. This tells the meter that you are finished and not to keep expecting more data requests to be sent. This also closes the communication connection from your computer to the meter.

Close String

01 42 30 03 75

Communication Sequence for Setting Requests

To send Setting, or write, Requests to the meter, you begin with the same procedure as you would for the reading meter data requests.

You start the communication with the meter by passing the Meter Data A and Connection Request string: 2F 3F ( 12 Byte Meter Number ) 30 30 21 0D 0A.

Once you have made the connection to the meter you will now need to pass the password string along with the Meter Data A and Connection string. The Password string must be included if you want to set, or write, instructions to the meter.

Password String Format:

01 50 31 02 28 ( password ) 29 03 ?? ??

The two ( 2 ) sets of “Question Marks” ( ?? ?? ) equal the 2 bytes that the CRC-16 Checksum will be.

Once the meter has verified that the password is correct it will return a 06, or an O.K., indicating that the password has been accepted.

06 Indicates an OK or that the meter has accepted and verified the password.

Now that the password string has been sent and verified, the meter is ready to accept setting, or write, instructions.

Sending setting instruction to the meter can be anything from setting a new meter number, a new password or setting the time.

For our examples we will show setting strings on how to open and close relays.

To open or close a relay is similar to the way you would send a request string to retrieve Data A from the meter.

Example below is of a request to open Relay A:

01 57 31 02 30 30 38 31 28 31 30 30 30 30 29 03 ?? ??

Lets say you need to close the relay instead of opening it. Then you would pass the following request string to the meter.

Request string to close Relay A:

01 57 31 02 30 30 38 31 28 30 30 30 30 30 29 03 ?? ??

The two ( 2 ) sets of “Question Marks” ( ?? ?? ) equal the 2 bytes that the CRC-16 Checksum will be.

Now that you have sent the setting request to the meter, the meter will send back a 06 indicating that the setting request was successful.

From here there are two ( 2 ) options you can choose from. You can either end the communication with the meter, with the Close String, if this is the only request that was needed to be sent to the meter, or you can continue with another setting request.

If another setting request is needed to be sent to the meter then the Meter Data A and Connection Request string will need to be sent to the meter. Starting the sequence over again.

Complete Setting Request sequence to the meter:

2F 3F ( 12 Byte Meter Number ) 30 30 21 0D 0A Data A and Connection String Request. This is always sent to the meter first to establish the connection.
255 Byte return from the meter. This will be the Meter Data A return
01 50 31 02 28 ( password ) 29 03 ?? ?? Password String
06 This is what the meter will return once your password is verified.
01 57 31 02 30 30 38 31 28 31 30 30 30 30 29 03 ?? ?? This is the write command string that is sent to the meter. Example here is the request to open Relay A.
06 This is what the meter will return indicating that the setting was successful.
2F 3F ( 12 Byte Meter Number ) 30 30 21 0D 0A Data A and Connection String Request. This is always sent to the meter first to establish the connection.
255 Byte return from the meter. This will be the Meter Data A return
01 50 31 02 28 ( password ) 29 03 ?? ?? Password String

06 This is what the meter will return indicating that the setting was successful.

The final step. Parsing the meters response

As the final step you can create an array that contains the field names and size of each field and then walk that array to parse the response from the meter to a usable array.

This example, like the other code examples is the simplest way to do this, in order to show you the steps required to get the job done. You can of course build a more robust code base.

In this example we store the table as JSON and use that to parse the response by calling a function named parse_response.

You can find a complete break down of all meter requests and responses in the RS-485 V3 and V4 Requests sections.

V3 Only Requests

The requests and responses in this section apply ONLY to v3 Meters

We also have a straight forward C header file that includes definitions for all the responses from the meters and valid values for request parameters. The more advanced programmer may find this useful. The C header can be found here: RS-485 V3, V4 and V5 Requests.

V3, V4 and V5 Requests

The requests and responses in this section apply to both v3, v4 and v5 meters. You will notice in a “Response table” for some requests the scale is listed as “kWh_Scale”. This means: V3 Meters have no scaling, V4 and V5 Meters will scale based on the kWh_Scale value in the Data A Request. If the kWh_Scale=0 (30 Hex) then no scaling, if it is 1 (31 Hex) then divide by 10, if it is 2 (32 Hex) then divide by 100.

If you are coding in Python you can also make use of our ekmmeters.py API

You can find it here: https://github.com/ekmmetering/ekmmeters

Run the following command from your *nix shell in an empty directory:

git clone https://github.com/ekmmetering/ekmmeters .

A required Python module is pyserial, so make sure to run:

pip install pyserial or pip3 install pyserial

We have created a unittest script named: unittest-ekmmeters.py

To use it, edit the unittest.ini file and update it to match your configuration.

You will also find standard python documentation for the module in two places:

Here: http://ekmmeters.readthedocs.org/en/latest/

Or located in the docs dir.

To build the documentation inside the ekmmeters/docs directory:

cd ekmmeters/docs

pip install sphinx

pip install sphinxcontrib.divparams

pip install bs4

pip install sphinxcontrib-plantuml

pip install sphinxtheme.readability

make html

This will build html docs which will be located in the ekmmeters/docs/_build/html dir.

Just run “make” to see what other document build options are available.

Status Codes

EKM uses conventional HTTP response codes in addition to our API Status Codes to indicate the success or failure of an API request. In general, codes in the 2xx range indicate success, codes in the 4xx range indicate an error that failed given the information provided, and codes in the 5xx range indicate an error with EKM’s servers (these are rare).

The EKM API uses the following API specific Status codes:

API Status Code Meaning
1000 There is not data for: {meters}
1001 There is not data for: {meters} between ${startDate} and ${endDate}
1002 There is not data for: {meters} This meter first reported on:
1003 There is not data for: {meters} This meter last reported on:
1004 Timezone is not supported for this date range request
1100 All invalid query requests
1101 Invalid format
1102 Invalid value
1103 Invalid parameter
1200 Found invalid meter: {meter} for key: MTAxMDoyMDIw
1300 Oops! It looks like there was an unexpected error. Try checking your query for issues or hold tight while we see what we can do. This error has been reported.

The EKM API also uses the following HTTP Status codes:

HTTP Status Code Meaning
200 OK – The request succeeded.
400 Bad Request – The server could not understand the request due to invalid syntax.
401 Unauthorized – Although the HTTP standard specifies “unauthorized”, semantically this response means “unauthenticated”. That is, the client must authenticate itself to get the requested response.
403 Forbidden – The client does not have access rights to the content; that is, it is unauthorized, so the server is refusing to give the requested resource. Unlike 401 Unauthorized, the client’s identity is known to the server.
404 Not Found – The server can not find the requested resource. In the browser, this means the URL is not recognized. In an API, this can also mean that the endpoint is valid but the resource itself does not exist. Servers may also send this response instead of 403 Forbidden to hide the existence of a resource from an unauthorized client. This response code is probably the most well known due to its frequent occurrence on the web.
429 Too Many Requests – The user has sent too many requests in a given amount of time (“rate limiting”).
500 Internal Server Error – The server has encountered a situation it does not know how to handle.
501 Not Implemented – The Vertical Bar otherwise known as “pipe” request method is not supported by the server and cannot be handled. The only methods that servers are required to support (and therefore that must not return this code) are GET and HEAD.
502 Bad Gateway – This error response means that the server, while working as a gateway to get a response needed to handle the request, got an invalid response.
503 Service Unavailable – The server is not ready to handle the request. Common causes are a server that is down for maintenance or that is overloaded. Note that together with this response, a user-friendly page explaining the problem should be sent. This response should be used for temporary conditions and the Retry-After HTTP header should, if possible, contain the estimated time before the recovery of the service. The webmaster must also take care about the caching-related headers that are sent along with this response, as these temporary condition responses should usually not be cached.
504 Gateway Timeout – This error response is given when the server is acting as a gateway and cannot get a response in time.
505 HTTP Version Not Supported – The HTTP version used in the request is not supported by the server.
506 Variant Also Negotiates – The server has an internal configuration error: the chosen variant resource is configured to engage in transparent content negotiation itself, and is therefore not a proper end point in the negotiation process.
510 Not Extended – Further extensions to the request are required for the server to fulfill it.
511 Network Authentication Required – Indicates that the client needs to authenticate to gain network access.
