Changing Parameter settings
1. Access the root of the HEM Gen5
2. Go to Z-Wave tab -> Settings.
3. Input these parameter settings individually at the bottom:

Parameter 2 [1 byte] = 0 //disable solar
Parameter 3 [1 byte] = 0 //disable threshold
Parameter 13 [1 byte] = 1 //enable CRC16 encapsulation (HomeSeer requires this)


1 Clamp Settings

Parameter 101 [4 byte] = 592143 //report all reports on clamp 1 via group #1
Parameter 111 [4 byte] = 240 //Set the time of report for group #1


2 Clamp Settings

Parameter 101 [4 byte] = 1776384 //report all reports on clamp 1 + 2 via group #1
Parameter 111 [4 byte] = 240 //Set the time of report for group #1


     3 Clamp Settings

Parameter 101 [4 byte] = 4144911//report all reports on clamp 1 + 2 + 3 via group #1
Parameter 111 [4 byte] = 240 //Set the time of report for group #1


4. Save this.
5. If you are still not getting any readings, move onto the association section below, this would indicate that Group Association 

Association (steps for is your HEM Gen5 is still not reporting)
1. Access the root of the HEM Gen5
2. Go to Z-Wave tab -> Association.
3. Click on "Update" button
4. Click on "X" on Node #1 under "Group 1"
5. Now click on "Update" button again.

Recommended steps

I would recommend that you go through each sensor and disable this setting, this setting is enabled by default. Removing this setting should help. 


Do this for:

  • kW hour 1
  • Watts 1
  • Volts 1
  • Amperes 1
  • kW hour 2
  • Watts 2
  • Volts 2
  • Amperes 2


1. Click on the Sensor (named as one of the above)

2. Disable "Last Change Time Updates on Status Change Only", the box should be unchecked now.

3. Now click on Save.
