Connect Smart meter (Fluvius) to Comfortclick

Hi, 

I recently acquired a Smart meter by our Belgian energy supplier Fluvius. It has some ports to be connect and I have connected both my Jigsaw and my meter using a R12-USB cable. 

I've added a "Basic" device with the required parameters, but all I get back on the Raw Data is FF and the Encoded data value is ?

It looks like the device is connected, but I cannot extract or read data from this device. Does anyone have an idea what the "FF" or "?" stands for and how to fix this? 

Best regards,

Hi ComfortClick, 

I contacted the supplier and he confirms "!" is the end of each line, all bytes after that is the CRC16 checksum of the full message (incl. the "!"). 

Do you support CRC16 and how to implement this? 

Best,

Hi,

I´m in the process of doing the same thing.

My Smart Meter uses IEC 62056-21 mode D for communication. 

The Data read out seems to be like this according to page 61 in this link;

Here is a picture from my laptop connected to meter through PUTTY;


It uses OBIS codes for the registers;

I haven´t yet connected it to my ComfortClick server so I don´t know how the data is showing there.

The end of line should be something like 21 0D 0A

I got it working with using 21 (!) as end-of-line.

Sorry it´s in swedish but I hope you understand.

I´m going to upload the device to the examples library.

Hi, 

Yes, I had it figured it out myself too :-) 

I'm also working on an example to make sure you see everything on this meter, as well as your actual consumption (what you take from the net, plus your yield, minus your injection), your % of self-consumption etc etc

Best,
