Hi,
these are the steps to install vzlogger on an Orange Pi Zero by using a volkszaehler TTL device as interface to get the measures of the electricity meter. Connect the Output to the Pin 10/GPIO199/UART1_RX
First of all install Armbian .
Enable UART1. Open /boot/armbianEnv.txt and add the device tree overlay.
1 2 | overlay_prefix=sun8i-h3overlays=uart1 |
Reboot the PC. If the volkszaehler TTL interface is already connected you can check if data are received.
Install python serial and start python
1 2 | root@debdev ~ # apt install python3-serialroot@debdev ~ # python3 |
Enter the following code
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 | import serial# Serielle Schnittstelle konfigurierenser = serial.Serial('/dev/ttyS1', 9600, timeout=1)while True: data = ser.read(16) # Read 16 Bytes if data: print(data.hex()) # print Bytes as Hex |
This should be shown something like this:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 | 77070100100700ff0101621b52005900000000000000060177070100240700ff0101621b52005900000000000000060177070100380700ff0101621b520059000000000000000001770701004c0700ff0101621b52005900000000000000000177070100200700ff0101622352ff6900000000000009490177070100340700ff0101622352ff69000000000000094a0177070100480700ff0101622352ff69000000000000094701770701001f0700ff0101622152fe69000000000000000401 |
Download, build and install vzlogger
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 | root@debdev ~ #apt-get install extrace git-core cmake libtool dh-autoreconf uuid-dev libmicrohttpd-dev \ build-essential pkg-config libgnutls28-dev libssl-dev libmosquitto-dev libgcrypt20-dev libcurl3-dev \ libunistring-dev libssl-dev libsasl2-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev uuid-dev libtool libltdl-dev root@debdev ~ # mkdir ~/softwareroot@debdev ~ # cd ~/softwareroot@debdev ~ # export CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/localroot@debdev ~ # wget https://raw.github.com/volkszaehler/vzlogger/master/install.sh root@debdev ~ # bash install.sh vzlogger libjson libsml mqtt |
Create a user vzlogger and add it to the dialout group to get access to the serial device(s)
1 2 3 | root@debdev ~ # useradd -r -s /sbin/nologin vzloggerroot@debdev ~ # usermod -a -G vzlogger vzloggerroot@debdev ~ # usermod -a -G dialout vzlogger |
Edit /etc/systemd/system/vzlogger.service and adjust as seen below
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 | vi /etc/systemd/system/vzlogger.service[Unit]Description=vzloggerAfter=syslog.target network.target[Service]User=vzloggerGroup=vzloggerExecStart=/usr/local/bin/vzlogger -c /etc/vzlogger.confExecReload=StandardOutput=nullExecStartPre=-/usr/bin/mkdir -p /var/log/vzloggerExecStartPre=-/usr/bin/chown vzlogger:vzlogger/var/log/vzlogger[Install]WantedBy=multi-user.target |
Add als the following lines to /etc/rc.local (before exit 0 :-))
1 2 | /usr/bin/mkdir -p /var/log/vzlogger/usr/bin/chown volkszaehler:volkszaehler /var/log/vzlogger |
then you have to define your Smartmeter/electricity meter config. For me a EFR SGM-C8.
Create a file /etc/vzlogger.conf
