For those interested in this project: I recently moved to a new home and as a result I'm at this moment not using this project myself. As soon as I've found a post-corona electrician willing to come to my home and create a power outlet next to my DSMR meter i can reinstall this project and fix bugs and add functionality.

In the meantime: Please fork and create a pull request with fixes if you stumble into repairable issues and manage to work around them. I will get back to you and merge your code changes in the coming months when I can use this project myself again.

@fliphess I'm going to try implementing this on an ISKRA AM500 (DSMR 5.0) which provides +5V on pin 1. I'm guessing you've checked your meter for this already, but if not, it might save you calling that electrician :)

Hey @rcambrj

Thanks for your message!

In my new house I do actually have 5v on the pins, as I have a newer model power meter, so I'm working towards using this model: https://klushok.etv.tudelft.nl/projects/view?id=8

I really like the deepsleep and no need for external power, so as soon as aliexpress has delivered, I'll be back in the game 👍

Oh my! That's more complex than I was hoping for just to get power. Likewise I'm waiting on an RJ12, for now I've got a power socket nearby and a long USB cable, but considering that initial startup spike I might just leave it like this.

I got it working. Problems I came across, in case it might help others:

you need WifiManager library v0.15.0, this dependency has moved forward and the later versions (2.x) don't work with this Arduino sketch
if you configure the wrong settings and need to fix them, uncomment line wifiManager.resetSettings(), build+upload, then comment again and build+upload
the MQTT port needs to be set, it doesn't fall back to the default of 1883
the Arduino Serial Monitor is your friend (Wemos D1 Mini @ baud rate 115200)

Can anyone clarify what the wiring diagram should be. The image on the first page shows only pinout of RJ11 but how do you wire it to ESP8266?

fliphess commented 3 years ago

It's shown 5 lines above the image you mention in readme.md. ;)
