Hi, Are you familiarized with ANSI C12 protocol, what I suppose this library use to communicate to elster meter? I got a A1800 I would like to talk to. Thanks!

I've only used the A100C and I'm not familiar with ANSI C12.

My Elster meter died a few years ago : they have a design defect that can cause them to reset periodically and fail to update the total.

Hi Dave Thanks so much for your answer. Sorry to hear that your meter passed away. But I can't get it... what protocol are you using? Or are you just reading pulses? I can see from code that it's is a kind of serial communication. Thanks
