Reading Power consumption of the Electricity meter with the IR interface

[MDAR (Stuart Hanlon, UK importer of Velbus hardware)]

Thanks for posting this.

I’d never even thought about it.

It turns out that the electricity meter my house had installed nearly 20 years ago, has the port !!!

Landis Gyr E470

Is this the kind of DIY project that could keep us amused while we have to stay at home?

Or would this 38Khz Dongle do the trick?

Short Lived adventure

Well, as normal, the UK market isn’t quite as open as we’re led to believe..

Hardly the behaviour of self appointed world leaders

each meter manufacturer creates their own internal software and are unlikely to make it accessible to the general population. We know that Landis and Gyr won’t allow their version of software out and British Gas don’t have access to it.
