We're making a separate module for P1 devices.


Do all your P1 devices have this pinout?

Not for 100% sure if all the devices in the world has this pinout, but mine does have it.

Ask Darko, we have corresponded a lot about this subject.

Here are the relevant documents:


Official Spec (from here)


See 4.7 "Physical connector"

P1 support will be there in the next firmware, and the module is in production.


We have a problem obtaining P1 devices, so for now only two Iskra electricity meters will be supported (ME381 and MT382).

Sounds good!


is it also possible to let the solar panels via an for example 2000 imp/kwh give input to calculate the realtime consumption (solar panels - back flow)


luckely i have this energy meter!

Other controllers like the Vera uses a smart meter cable like this: http://www.wirelesswonen.nl/Webwinkel-Product-22714125/Kabel-tbv-Slimme-meter.html

Since you are building the software support for this, isn't it possible to connect this cable to the USB or something?

@Jacques - for impulse counting only NorthQ devices come to mind.


@DRuw - now that we have support for P1, it shouldn't be hard to support that too. But if you don't have a Backup or an USBSerial module it may be cheaper to get the P1 module (I don't know the pricing yet).

Did you manage to make it work with Zipato? I have been using NorthQ

device for a month and a half as a standalone, and tested it with other

controllers, and I can say that it is pretty accurate. In the range of

+-500W. Never managed to get it fully functional with Zipato.

We had some firmware issues with our test NorthQ device, thus the incompleteness.

Will be better in the next firmware update.
