Receiving jeenode data with Fluksometer

Just received my Fluksometer v2b and have it reading from a bunch of kwh meters and my gas meter (also pulse output). I now want my jeenodes attached to my cold water mains and various other devices to send data to the Fluksometer.

Is there any documentation on how to configure the Fluksometer to receive/process data using it's RFM12b?

FLM capable of receiving P1 telegrams from multiple devices (including IR port)?

We have moved recently and I am presently looking for a means to monitor our new house's power exchange. From what I have seen so far, it looks like the FLM would meet all my needs. The electricity meter is a smart meter (make ISKRA) complying to the Dutch Smart Meter Requirements, thus sending telegrams through its P1 serial port. Connecting this meter to the FLM will be possible.

Our house is connected to the district heating system as well and I would also like to log the meter readings for heat consumption (and preferrable also hot water throughput). The heat meter is of Landis+Gyr make, model 2WR5. This meter does not have a P1 port, but does have an optical interface. I would like to try to use this to obtain the meter readings. I am planning to obtain a suitable IR reading head from Udo at volkszaehler.org (in German). This would convert the signals from IR to TTL levels so that the FLM could communicate in a P1-like fashion.

Before I do so, I am looking for the answer to the following questions:

  1. Does the hardware allow for multiple P1-ports to be read? In other words, does the system have more UARTs available that could be routed to the connection ports, or could it do software serial on the other ports? Otherwise I would need to FLMs and that appears a bit too much for now.
  2. Does anybody have experience in connecting an IR reading head to the FLM? (no previous experience does not mean one should try, of course)

Thanks a lot!

A Dutch P1-port telegram parser for the verion 2A

Hi Guys,

I am willing to put in some time en energy ;-) to investigate if it is possible to create something(soft or hard) that makes it possible to use the version 2A to read out a P1 smart meter port.

What would be a good plan for this?

Does anyone have a suggestion how this can be done?

how to hook up the FLUKSO to a P1 port on a Smart meter?

Hi Everybody, I have just had a new meter installed in my house. besides the elektra also the gas meter is new.
See attached, can anyone tell me if I can hook up the RJ jack (P1 port) on the side off the meter to get readings from it?

I do have elektra from the clamp but would love to have gas also...

see attached pics, one is the gas meter, all digital i presume, it communicates with the elekra meter wireless(bluetooth?). the guys from Liander said it had to be within 10meters range of the elktra unit to be able to send over the data.

And the elktra meter, note the RJ jack on the lower right side. my question: can we hook it up to the flukso? what would I have to do the get is doen? Any hint/help mucha ppriciated.

tx
