Introduction
The P1 Modbus Dongle is basically a P1 to Modbus RTU converter.
The dongle is made for v5 SMR meters. In The Netherlands v2/v4 meters are common too. Some data is missing in v2 and v4 meters.
Why we do this?
Started designing and manufacturing the dongles in 2020. The main reason is an open solution that is affordable without any subscription.
The concept can be summarised in a few words:
Privacy first: data always belongs to the user and is not shared
Safe design
No subscription
Accessible: in terms of costs and user experience
Open solution
Primary functions
The primary functions of the dongle are:

Reading the smart meter (via the p1 connection)
Sharing the P1 information via Modbus RTU (RS485)
