This is a Rust application that reads data from a Dutch Smart Meter using a serial connection to the P1 port. Currently only the DSMRS5.0 protocol is supported.

Requirements:

• P1 to USB-cable
• Something to plug the cable in and run this program
• InfluxDB on the same machine as this program
• Optional: Grafana to visualize the InfluxDB data

1. Install InfluxDB and optionally Grafana.
2. Checkout this repo.
3. Make sure libudev-dev and libssl-dev are installed:

sudo apt-get install libudev-dev && sudo apt-get install libssl-dev

4. Check the serial path (by default /dev/ttyUSB0) and change according to your setup.
5. Check the InfluxDB database name (by default p1meter).
6. Test if it works by running cargo run (if you don't have the Rust toolchain installed click here)
7. Finally, run cargo build to create the binary executable. Use this executable as you wish, for example add it as systemd service so that it automatically starts and restarts.

Create /etc/systemd/system/smart-meter.service:

[Unit]
Description=InfluxDB-DSMR Adapter Process

[Service]
ExecStart=/home/<user>/path/to/dsmr-influxdb-adapter-rs/target/debug/dsmr-influxdb-adapter
Restart=always

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

And run sudo systemctl enable smart-meter.service.

Use a data visualization tool that uses InfluxDB as data source to create some nice graphs and/or dashboards. For example:
