|
The ``SML`` component connects to smart meters which use the *Smart Message Language* (SML) protocol.
|
|
|
|
Although the SML protocol is well defined, it gives a lot of freedom to the manufacturers how to store
|
|
and identify the transmitted data. Within a telegram the physical values are identified by *OBIS* codes
|
|
(Object Identification System). If it is known which code the manufacturer assigns to the physical value,
|
|
the corresponding value can be extracted.
|
|
|
|
Hardware
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
This component is passive, it does not transmit any data to your equipment. Usually a smart meter transmit
|
|
a telegram at regular intervals (2-4 seconds) on its own.
|
|
This component decodes and updates the configured sensors at the pace the data is received.
|
|
|
|
Most smart meters transmit the telegrams using an infrared optical interface. As a sensor a suitable photo
|
|
transistor (e.g. BPW40) can be attached to the ESP's UART (emitter to `GND` and collector to `RX` pin). A more
|
|
mature solution can be found `here
|
|
<https://wiki.volkszaehler.org/hardware/controllers/ir-schreib-lesekopf-ttl-ausgang>`_ (in German).
|
|
There are plenty of other examples and ready to buy solutions on the web.
|
|
|
|
Configuration
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
As the communciation with the sensor is done using UART, you need to have the :ref:`UART bus <uart>`
|
|
in your configuration. The interface parameters should be set to 9600/8N1 or 9600/7E1 depending on your
|
|
smart meter. If you see checksum errors in the log try changing the interface parameter.

|
Getting OBIS codes and sensor ids
|
|
---------------------------------
|
|
|
|
The physical values in the transmitted SML telegram are identified by a *server id* and *OBIS codes*. The *server id*
|
|
identifies your smart meter. If you have only one hardware component attached to your optical sensor you usually
|
|
don't have to care about the server id and you may ommit it in your configuration.
|
|
|
|
In order to get the server id and the available OBIS codes provided by your smart meter, simply set up the
|
|
:ref:`SML platform <sml-platform>` and observe the log output (the :ref:`log level <logger-log_levels>`
|
|
must be set to at least ``debug``!).
|
|
|
|
Your log output will show something like this:
|
|
|
|
.. figure:: images/sml-log.png
|
|
:align: center
|
|
:width: 100.0%

|
OBIS information in the log of the `SML` component
|
|
|
|
Each line represents a combination of the server id (in brackets), the OBIS code and the transmitted hex value
|
|
(in square brackets).
|
|
|
|
|
|
Precision errors
|
|
----------------
|
|
Many smart meters emit very huge numbers for certain OBIS codes (like the accumulated total active energy).
|
|
This may lead to precision errors for the values reported by the sensor component to ESPHome. This shows in
|
|
the fact that slightly wrong numbers may be reported to HomeAssistant. This is a result from internal limitations
|
|
in ESPHome and has nothing to do with the SML component.
|
|
|
|
If you cannot live with this, you can use the `TextSensor` with an appropriate format to transmit the value as
|
|
a string to HomeAssistant. On the HomeAssistant side you can define a `Template Sensor <https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/template/>`_
|
|
to cast the value into the appropriate format and do some scaling.
|
|
|
|
For ESPHome we have:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: yaml
|
|
|
|
# ESPHome configuration file
|
|
text_sensor:
|
|
- platform: sml
|
|
name: "Total energy text"
|
|
obis_code: "1-0:1.8.0"
|
|
format: uint
|
|
|
|
The `format` parameter is optional. If ommited, the SML component will try to guess the correct datatype
|
|
from the received SML message.
|
|
|
|
And in HomeAssistant:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: yaml
|
|
|
|
# Home Assistant configuration.yaml
|
|
template:
|
|
- sensor:
|
|
- name: "Total Energy Consumption"
|
|
unit_of_measurement: "kWh"
|
|
state: >
|
|
{% if states('sensor.total_energy_text') == 'unavailable' %}
|
|
{{ states('sensor.total_energy_consumption') }}
|
|
{% else %}
|
|
{{ ((states('sensor.total_energy_text') | float) * 0.0001) | round(2) }}
|
|
{% endif %}
|
|
|
|
Usually the template sensor's value would turn to 0 if the ESP device is unavailable.
|
|
This results in problems when using the sensor in combination with the `Utility Meter <https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/utility_meter/>`_ integration.
|
|
The state template provided above checks for the sensor's availability and keeps the
|
|
current state in case of unavailability.
|
|
|
|
Holley DTZ541 Smart Meters
|
|
--------------------------
|
|
|
|
The Holley DTZ541 series of electricity meters have a faulty implementation of the SML protocol.
|
|
These meters send multiple conflicting values with the OBIS code ``1-0:1.8.0``, the code for the meter's energy reading.
|
|
Because the first value of every package is the correct value, in order to discard the erroneous values a throttle filter of 0.5s can be applied.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: yaml
|
|
|
|
sensor:
|
|
- platform: sml
|
|
name: "Total energy Consumption"
|
|
sml_id: mysml
|
|
obis_code: "1-0:1.8.0"
|
|
unit_of_measurement: kWh
|
|
accuracy_decimals: 5
|
|
device_class: energy
|
|
state_class: total_increasing
|
|
filters:
|
|
- throttle: 0.5s
|
|
- multiply: 0.0001
|
|
|
|
These meters can also measure the instantaneous power usage.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: yaml
|
|
|
|
sensor:
|
|
- platform: sml
|
|
name: "Instantaneous power"
|
|
sml_id: mysml
|
|
obis_code: "1-0:16.7.0"
|
|
unit_of_measurement: W
|
|
accuracy_decimals: 0
|
|
device_class: power
|
|
state_class: measurement
