SmartMeterToInfluxDb

An attempt to read Dutch smart meter information and write it to an Influxdb instance, using .Net Core

You can build it yourself using dockerize.bat/sh, but it's also available also available as a Linux Docker image: https://hub.docker.com/r/atreyu/smartmetertoinfluxdb/

NOTE This is very much in alpha, I'm having connection issues to InfluxDb, but the serial port reading works (!)

Requirements

• A Dutch Smart meter with a P1 port
• A Device running .Net Core runtime 2.1+ OR Docker
• A Dutch Smart meter cable, like here, here or Google it yourself

Configuration

Configuration is done for now using the following environment variables:

SerialPortName*       //on Linux usually /dev/tty0
BaudRate              //default: 115200 ()

InfluxDbUserName*
InfluxDbPassword*
InfluxDbServerAddress //default: http://127.0.0.1:8086
InfluxDbDatabaseName*

Dependencies

Beside the usual, the library depends on:

• NetCoreSerial
• DsmrParser
• InfluxDB .NET Collector

Usage

.Net Core

Untested, something like this?

dotnet run SmartMeterToInfluxDb

Docker

Docker image is available at:

https://hub.docker.com/r/atreyu/smartmetertoinfluxdb/

1. Create docker-compose.yml example:

   services:
     smartmetertoinfluxdb:
       restart: unless-stopped
       image: atreyu/smartmetertoinfluxdb:dev
       container_name: smartmetertoinfluxdb
       devices:
         - /dev/ttyUSB0:/dev/ttyUSB0
       environment:
         - SerialPortName=/dev/ttyUSB0
         - BaudRate=115200
         - InfluxDbUserName=MyUsername
         - InfluxDbPassword=MyPa$$w0rd
         - InfluxDbServerAddress=http://127.0.0.1:8086
         - InfluxDbDatabaseName=SmartMeter

2.Run docker-compose up or docker-compose up -d to run as a deamon.
