dsmr2mqtt

This utility reads the telegrams from your DSMR-compatible smart meter and sends it to a MQTT broker. I made use of dsmr-p1-parser and libmosquitto.

I wrote this so I would be able to plug my smart meter into my OpenWRT router with a prefabricated cable (I used this one: https://www.sossolutions.nl/slimme-meter-kabel).

I used the MQTT topic definitions of dsmr-reader. If you want to use other definitions, you can change the the #defines at the beginning of the dsmr2mqtt.c file.

Compiling

Debian/Ubuntu

First make sure you have git installed and the necessary library.

# apt install git libmosquitto-dev

Then get the source code and use the command make to build the dsmr2mqtt executable:

$ cd [whatever build dir]
$ git clone --recurse-submodules -j8 https://github.com/cabeljunky/dsmr2mqtt
$ cd dsmr2mqtt
$ make
$ ./dsmr2mqtt

Using docker

Use as a docker container:

$ cd [whatever build dir]
$ git clone https://github.com/cabeljunky/dsmr2mqtt
$ cd dsmr2mqtt
$ docker-compose up -d
