DSMRReader

Overview

bDSMR protocol reader for smart energy meters. Stores data reads and visualizes energy use./b /br /br Unraid template that JUST WORKS, brought to you by Flight777! /br /br IMPORTANT 1!! -- Next to this container, you will have to install a PostgreSQL container from the APPS, any version 11 or 12 will do. DB name: dsmrreader DB user: dsmrreader DB password: dsmrreader /br /br IMPORTANT 2!! By default this container is set-up as RECEIVER (see DATALOGGER MODE), meaning that the DSMR P1 input is received on another machine with an instance of DSMR READER running and the internal datalogger on this instance is disabled. After running this container, you will need to set-up the SENDER with the right API, please see: https://dsmr-reader.readthedocs.io/en/v4/api.html#configuration /br /br If you Unraid machine has a direct P1 input, then change this value to STANDALONE and configure: /br /br DATALOGGER INPUT METHOD=serial
DATALOGGER_SERIAL_PORT=/dev/ttyUSB0
DATALOGGER_SERIAL_BAUDRATE=115200

and set your device to the right USB path /br /br bIMPORTANT 3!!/b The DATALOGGER SLEEP TIME has been set to 10 seconds, instead of 1, to save you some DB writes. 6 readings per minute should still give you data enough ;)
