The same functionality can be achieved with [EspHome].
The PCB can be used with the correct [CONFIG]
A ESP8266 based DSMR reader, posting messages onto MQTT.
Can be powered directly from the meter itself, no external power supply needed*.
* if enough power can be supplied by the meter.
The code should work on DSRM v2.2 and higher, only tested on V4.2.
Supports Dutch and Belgian smart meters.
Can be used with Home Assistant (mqtt auto discover)
- Arduino IDE / VS code
- ESP8266 board (Wemos/LOLIN D1 mini/ESP01/NodeMCU)
- Basic soldering and wiring skills
- (For Wemos d1 mini) CH340G driver [link]
- Prototype board / breadboard / PCB
- RJ11/12/25 cable
- PubSubClient - MQTT client
- Core for ESP8266 - Arduino core for ESP8266 WiFi chip
If MQTT Discovery is enabled in Home Assistant INFO,
the majority of the entities are auto-created and can be found on the integration page.
Its posible to disale the gas and phase entities in the settings, See Settings.
The MQTT_TOPIC consists of "ESP_DSMR_" + ESP chip ID.
For example: ESP_DSMR_C491F3

The meter has a power tariff property, and is used for the total consumption/production counters.
The values for the day and night tariffs are different in the Netherlands compared to Belgium.
| Country | tariff | value |
|---|---|---|
| NL | Night (low) | tariff_1 |
| NL | Day (high) | tariff_2 |
| BE | Night (low) | tariff_2 |
| BE | Day (high) | tariff_1 |

View scheme (pdf).
Using a level shifter inverter to get the serial output from the meter into the ESP.
The board can be powered directly from the meters power supply (this can vary between models).
Create your own with the Gerber files (zip)
I designed a case to be 3D printed, it fits the board loosely, and is meant to be glued shut
STL files are found in the STL folder

* 1 and 6 are not needed if powered by USB.
- Some DSMR cannot deliver enough power to run the Wemos stably.
Connect a 5V usb supply to fix this.
