Hi there,
my power meter has been recently replaced by a new smart meter (ISKRA MT681). The new meter got an optical port (called D0) and transmits the data every few seconds over a serial interface (9600/8N1) as binary. As far as I know, the protocol is call SML (smart message language).
Does the HA has support for such devices?
regards,
Michael
If you can’t find anything ready and the power meter spits out strings of data, you can use the serial sensor.
Ok, just tried cat /dev/ttyUSB0, but the output is binary encoded.
Google pointed me to https://github.com/sunny5/nodeehz, apt-getting node…
Take a look at this:
Node-Red can be installed as a plugin in Hassio, and is well integrated.
@namadori: thx for the input, i’ll take a look at it…
as a proof of work I modified the above mentioned js and I’m getting the right values…

repl.start("=>")would be great, if home asssistant will support sml protocol in the future. currently it is only supporting dutch dsmr protocoll.
home assistant dsmr sensor:
openhab supports both protocolls:
als an alternative you could use volkszaehler (https://www.volkszaehler.org/) - it comes with own database and some basic chartings. I Integrated it into my homeassistant reading the json from an url:

main()hello Christian,
I am very interested what you did in order to get the values of a smart meter.
Which device do you have?
How do you get the sml values?
I tried to use the https://flows.nodered.org/node/node-red-contrib-smartmeter module, but installation fails.
How did you manage it? Or did you something else?
If you like, you can respond in German 
I noticed the similar problem. Can‘t install node-red-contrib-smartmeter. How did you solve the problem?
Hi,
I use vzlogger (without volkszaehler middleware) to directly send to my MQTT broker. Works very well.
See also here:
yeah, but seems the insatllation of the smartmeter node fails with a python error
Any solution for taht so far ?
I’m using the same power meter and I got one of these. Works like a charm. Values are being transferred via mqtt.
As I also have a power meter with an SML protocol (Itron OpenWay 3.HZ), I wanted to describe my way to get to the values using a serial reader and sml2mqtt in Docker as an alternative.
Maybe this is helpful for others too:
sml2mqtt provides a good analyze functionality, so you don’t have to dive into details about your meter upfront.
You need to map a directory from the host (or a docker volume) to the sml2mqtt folder inside the container, so the config can be persisted:
docker run -it --name sml2mqtt_analyze --volume /opt/sml2mqtt:/sml2mqtt --device=/dev/ttyUSB0 --entrypoint sh spacemanspiff2007/sml2mqtt:latest
Inside the shell run sml2mqtt with the analyze flag and a path where the config should be created:
sml2mqtt -c /sml2mqtt/config.yml --analyze
This will fail as the serial port inside the sample config it just created is most likely wrong.
So edit the config using vi /sml2mqtt/config.yml and press i to enter edit mode.
Remove one of the two port entries from the sample config and adjust the other one to your needs:
ports:
- url: /dev/ttyUSB0 # Device path
timeout: 3 # Seconds after which a timeout will be detected (default=3)
Also edit the mqtt connection settings to your needs.
Then press Esc to leave edit mode and enter :wq to save and leave vi.
Now start sml2mqtt with the analyze flag again, so se can see the structure fo the incoming data:
(We don’t have to specify the config location again, as it now exists at the default location.)
sml2mqtt --analyze
Check the output for the value server_id.
Replace “DEVICE_ID_HEX” in the config with this value:
devices: # Device configuration by ID or url
0b013454760009893245:
mqtt: # Optional MQTT configuration for this meter.
...
In the device sample configuration, there’s also the possibility to filter out unwanted values by their OBIS code (skip section),
or to apply special settings to single OBIS values (values section).
If you don’t want to use this, simply remove the whole skip and values sections.
After that, run sml2mqtt without the –analyze flag, which will result in continous reading and also the reporting to your MQTT server.
If everything works, stop sml2mqtt by pressing CTRL+C and exit the temporary container by leaving the shell with exit .
Now setup the final container, which will autorun sml2mqtt instead of a shell when it starts:
docker run --detach --name sml2mqtt --volume /opt/sml2mqtt:/sml2mqtt --device=/dev/ttyUSB0 spacemanspiff2007/sml2mqtt:latest
After that you can delete the temporary container.
