Energy Meter Configuration

Arska can read imported and exported energy information from HAN P1 enabled smart meters (installed by your grid company) or from a separately installed Shelly 3EM energy meter.

Energy metrics with a HAN P1 Serial adapter

20231212_095106olimex-han400

A direct connection to the energy meter via the adapter enables almost real-time monitoring of consumption. The meter sends measurement data at least once every 10 seconds. This requires that the meter installed by the network company has a HAN P1 port. In Finland, the installation of meters began in 2022, and in the coming years all meters will be replaced with new meters.

The serial adapter package includes cables for a energy meter with a HAN P1 port (RJ12 connection) and ESP32 boards (Olimex) with an UEXT interface. If your ESP32 device is not equipped with UEXT interface you can connect your MCU to the adapter with 3 wires: RXD, 3.3V and GND. You can buy an adapter from Robomaa Oy.

Arska configuration

  • Energy Meter: HAN P1 wired
  • GPIO (RXD): 36 (GPIO number of connected io pin. Depends on your hardware, e.g. 36 for Olimex boards with UEXT connection.)

Energy metrics from Shelly 3EM

Shelly 3EM is a separate energy monitor metering you exported and imported energy. To read grid data from Shelly 3EM energy meter it should be connected to the local wifi. More information you can find in Shelly's documentation. Leave installation of the meter to the main current to certified electrician professionals.

Check that Shelly gets a fixed IP address. Use Shelly configuration or get a fixed IP address from your wifi router.
