A wireless mBus setup with a Raspberry Pi to monitor wireless mBus Devices
(originally forked from http://github.com/ffcrg/ecpiww and code changed)
Goal: The goal should be to find sending wMBus devices grab the sent payload (hopefully decoded) and in the 1st version send them to a csv file and in the 2nd version to push the parameters to emonhub for use in emoncms (www.openenergymonitor.org)
Tested Devices:
FAST EnergyCam: The quick and inexpensive way to turn your conventional meter into a smart metering device (http://www.fastforward.ag/eng/index_eng.html)
Hardware:
- Raspberry Pi
- wireless M-Bus USB Stick (2 manufacturers are supported)
- IMST IM871A-USB Stick ( available at http://www.tekmodul.de/index.php?id=shop-wireless_m-bus_oms_module or http://webshop.imst.de/funkmodule/im871a-usb-wireless-mbus-usb-adapter-868-mhz.html)
- AMBER Wireless M-Bus USB Adapter (http://amber-wireless.de/406-1-AMB8465-M.html)
Features:
- The application shows you all received wireless M-Bus packages.
- You can add meters that are watched. The received values of these are written into csv files for each meter (wMBus device).
- install.txt describes how to configure the raspberry and compile the sources
