Hello,
I've been trying to find the code to measure a smart electricity meter using IR for many days. I found about a hundred forums, articles, code snippets, but nothing really helped. Does anyone have a ready IR solution for reading and sending IR data?
I'm still in the arduino at the beginning and gradually creating home automation. Could someone help me build the code? Alternatively, start this one? Tunn.us
I have arduino, IR TX and RX.
I need to send via IR TX "/ ?!" + <13> <10> "(0x2F, 0x3F, 0x21,0x0D, 0x0A) shaking hands, wait for the meter response and then send <06> 051 <13> <10> (0x06,0x30,0x35,0x31,0x0D, 0x0A), receive the response with consumption and print it to the serial port in human language.
Thank you all, I would like to end up reading the meter and sending the information to the Home Assistant.
I have never encountered such a problem because I have never had an intelligent meters before. I thought about this for a long time and I still can’t find a way out of this situation. On the one hand, many people tell me that it is very profitable because you control your energy costs, since you get accurate and detailed meter readings and with your smart energy monitor you can notice the effect of energy reduction, which again will bring you benefit, since you will save money. I also read a lot of articles on usave.co.uk. The problem is, on the other hand, smart meters often break and I’m scared to imagine how I will use the code to fix them
So, how do you think should I install a smart meters now?
