Yeah. Short Name refs are something I didn't want to do unless I got paid to do it. It is mostly used in old meters. I don't know any new ones that are not using long name refs. And you can't really reuse anything. It uses its own services for reading and writing etc. And I can't get hold of a meter for the lab either.
But are you sure it is uses DLMS? It could also be using IEC62056-21. Try our other lib out: https://github.com/pwitab/iec62056-21
I'm pretty sure that it's not 62056-21 because I know really good this protocol and I even wrote C library to communicate with older meters using this protocol. Debug logs shows that meter answered for HDLC frame:

But thanks for your fast reply! Maybe you are right that SN referencing is obsolete. I will try with other meters.
OK. Yeah if you are getting HDLC frames back it might not support the IEC62056-21. But some support both (or it is an internal setting) I did a quick google of the meter since I have not heard of it before and found this: https://github.com/yahbluez/pafalEC3/blob/master/cron_pafal.py which seems like someone using IEC62056-21 to read the meter.
This one supports both, but 62056-21 is on IR port and DLMS is on wired RS485 port. And of course I'm currently connected to RS485 wired port :smile: So I can read all the values with 62056-21 with IR but it's not as practical in use as the wired RS485 port.
Ah. So annoying ðŸ˜
Ill leave this issue open and mark it with sposorship needed in case someone else is wondering about SN refs.
Hello, It would be nice to add "Short name referencing" association method. I have PAFAL 16EC3rn/1 meter and when I try to associate with it I get error:
I comented out this line and now I have error:
Hope you will keep developing this great project ! :smile:
