Hello All,

My P1 from the meteradapter is working great, no problem.

But i wan't to use a P1 USB cable to feed domoticz, but that is not working.
I have a kamstrup 382, and i double checked the settings, 9600,7,E,1.

I used a USB P1 cable from china, and because i doubted it, i now use a P1 cable from smartmeterdashboard.nl.
Both cable's aren't working. (I tested it with a Rpi and domoticz directly connected, and use a terminal program on my windows laptop)
And i tried the 115200 8N1 also.

Is it possible that there is a problem with my kamstrup?. The strange thing is, that my toon meteradapter is working properly.

Thanks for any suggestions and help.

Regards,

Hi jozg,

I also have a Kamstrup 382, and a working logging (to an RPi, homebrew). I use an FTDI 5V USB-RS232 adapter. For this adapter to work, you will need to invert two of the data lines (RTS and RxD). AFAIK only FTDI chipsets have this feature.

Hello Marcelr,

Thanks for your reply.
I think my p1 port isn't somehow "strong" enough.
Last night, suddenly it starts working, for a couple of times:

But after that it stopped working again.

Please note that the cable is 4 core and the cables must not be switched.
Eneco p1 cable is a good example.
