P1Meter Plugin..

Hi There

I have this P1 Meter problem.. It seems (as far as i can tell) that there is communion with my meter.. But for some reason I get these errors and no data in return...

I cannot find the guy who wrote the plugin but I'm curious what I'n doing wrong here..

P1Meter Total lines read from serial port: 46
P1Meter Done reading one packet (containing 17 lines)
P1Meter Constructing P1Packet from raw data

Looks like the format of the data returned by the device has changed, and the string it's trying to change to an Integer isn't a number.

Here's the actual code that's failing:

Code: Select all

      # 0-0:96.7.21(00673)
      #             ^^^^^
      keys['kwh']['outages']['shortcount'] = int(self.get(b'^0-0:96\.7\.21\((\d*)'))

My question is..

Does it have to do with a faulty plugin or is there something I could do to change it..

No way to know for sure, since the plugin isn't logging the data it's getting. I suspect the plugin is just out of date.

Have you looked at https://www.zengers.net/domotica/p1-meter-plugin/ ?

Yes I did.. Sins I have comm's with the meter I guess it cannot be the FTDI driver.. I tried to switch protocol but no results.. I would like to find a way to read the raw data coming from that meter so I could find a hint there. But I don't know If there is any program to capture that data..
