Details

This tool reads data from Sml (Smart Message Language) devices or M-Bus devices and publishes the data via MQTT.

Sml support is currently limited to reading.

MQTT is limited to non-SSL (you may easily adopt this...)

Tested with:

• iskra MT681 (electricity)
• elster BK-G4 AT with M-Bus ACM Modul (gas)
• Weidman IR Schreib/Lesekopf USB https://shop.weidmann-elektronik.de/index.php?page=product&info=24
• No-name USB M-Bus Master device

Tested on:

• Debian Bullseye
• Raspberry Pi OS (Debian 10.7 based)
• Raspberry Pi Zero W / Pi 3b

Goals:

• simple and very few effort!

Depends on:

• https://github.com/volkszaehler/libsml
• https://github.com/rscada/libmbus
• https://github.com/qt/qtmqtt

Installation

Check Releases for a link to amd64 Debian builds. Or build from source:

#if no suitable version is found check tags and pick a good one
#qmake
#make
#sudo make install

Compile

git clone https://github.com/oetken/smartmetertomqtt.git
cd smartmetertomqtt
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
# for Release mode use: cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
cpack
sudo dpkg -i *.deb

Configuration

• when run as user without argument the config is located in ~/.config/SmartHomeTools/SmartMeterToMqtt.json
• when run as service the config is located in /etc/smartmeter.json
• you can pass the config file location via "-f"
• There are several configuration options like mean filtering or skipping of values. Check the example config.

-> see SmartMeterToMqtt.json_example

Installation as service
