Dear all,
I'm trying to read in data from my heat meter (Diehl Sharky 775 ultrasonic compact meter - http://www.diehl.com/de/diehl-metering/produkte-loesungen/pdb-details.ht...), currently installed on my solar panel system tubing.
In their specs, they indicate that radio communication is integrated:
SHARKY
Frequency band 868 or 434 MHz
Type of radio telegram Real Data or Open Metering Standard (OMS)
Transmission data updating Online - no time delay between value measurement and data transmission
Data transmission Unidirectional
Sending interval D-cell: 12 s ( max. 16 years lifetime); with mains unit: 12 s; depending on length of telegram (duty cycle)
I was wondering whether anyone on this forum could give me some leads on where to start my effort to connect this energy meter to my flukso (FLM02B) device, using radio communication. Radio communication, as this would prevent having to open up the energy meter and install a specific pulse output module (which they offer).
Thank you very much in advance for any leads on this matter!
Kind regards,
Geert
I would start apart of the FLM connection first by understanding on how to read the meter itself using radio transmission: Get yourself an Arduino (or equivalent) and an appropriate receiver module (maybe (sic) an RFM12 module for 5Eur is already sufficient) to take first steps in receiving meter data and transforming it into a readable format - see what jeenode.org offers with this respect. Having understood the communication then you may take the next step in integrating it with the FLM... (see also https://www.flukso.net/content/receiving-jeenode-data-fluksometer)
...and "move" this request to the developer section as this currently is indeed no installation issue...
