DSMR Parser

A library for parsing Dutch Smart Meter Requirements (DSMR) telegram data. It also includes client implementation to directly read and parse smart meter data.

Features

DSMR Parser supports DSMR versions 2, 3, 4 and 5. It has been tested with Python 3.5, 3.6, 3.7, 3.8 and 3.9.

Client module usage

Serial client

Read the serial port and work with the parsed telegrams. It should be run in a separate process because the code is blocking (not asynchronous):

from dsmr_parser import telegram_specifications
from dsmr_parser.clients import SerialReader, SERIAL_SETTINGS_V4

serial_reader = SerialReader(
    device='/dev/ttyUSB0',
    serial_settings=SERIAL_SETTINGS_V4,
    telegram_specification=telegram_specifications.V4
)

for telegram in serial_reader.read():
    print(telegram)  # see 'Telegram object' docs below

AsyncIO client

To be documented.

Socket client

Read a remote serial port (for example using ser2net) and work with the parsed telegrams. It should be run in a separate process because the code is blocking (not asynchronous):

from dsmr_parser import telegram_specifications
from dsmr_parser.clients import SocketReader

socket_reader = SocketReader(
    host='127.0.0.1',
    port=2001,
    telegram_specification=telegram_specifications.V4
)

for telegram in socket_reader.read():
    print(telegram)  # see 'Telegram object' docs below

Parsing module usage

The parsing module accepts complete unaltered telegram strings and parses these into a dictionary.

from dsmr_parser import telegram_specifications
from dsmr_parser.parsers import TelegramParser

# String is formatted in separate lines for readability.
telegram_str = (
    '/ISk5\\2MT382-1000\r\n'
    '\r\n'
    '0-0:96.1.1(4B384547303034303436333935353037)\r\n'
    '1-0:1.8.1(12345.678*kWh)\r\n'
    '1-0:1.8.2(12345.678*kWh)\r\n'
    '1-0:2.8.1(12345.678*kWh)\r\n'
    '1-0:2.8.2(12345.678*kWh)\r\n'
    '0-0:96.14.0(0002)\r\n'
    '1-0:1.7.0(001.19*kW)\r\n'
    '1-0:2.7.0(000.00*kW)\r\n'
    '0-0:17.0.0(016*A)\r\n'
    '0-0:96.3.10(1)\r\n'
    '0-0:96.13.1(303132333435363738)\r\n'
    '0-0:96.13.0(303132333435363738393A3B3C3D3E3F303132333435363738393A3B3C3D3E'
    '3F303132333435363738393A3B3C3D3E3F303132333435363738393A3B3C3D3E3F30313233'
    '3435363738393A3B3C3D3E3F)\r\n'
    '0-1:96.1.0(3232323241424344313233343536373839)\r\n'
    '0-1:24.1.0(03)\r\n'
    '0-1:24.3.0(090212160000)(00)(60)(1)(0-1:24.2.1)(m3)\r\n'
    '(00001.001)\r\n'
    '0-1:24.4.0(1)\r\n'
    '!\r\n'
)

parser = TelegramParser(telegram_specifications.V3)

telegram = parser.parse(telegram_str)
print(telegram)  # see 'Telegram object' docs below

Telegram dictionary

A dictionary of which the key indicates the field type. These regex values correspond to one of dsmr_parser.obis_reference constants.

The value is either a CosemObject or MBusObject. These have a 'value' and 'unit' property. MBusObject's additionally have a 'datetime' property. The 'value' can contain any python type (int, str, Decimal) depending on the field. The 'unit' contains 'kW', 'A', 'kWh' or 'm3'.

Example to get some of the values:

from dsmr_parser import obis_references

 # The telegram message timestamp.
 message_datetime = telegram[obis_references.P1_MESSAGE_TIMESTAMP]

 # Using the active tariff to determine the electricity being used and
 # delivered for the right tariff.
 active_tariff = telegram[obis_references.ELECTRICITY_ACTIVE_TARIFF]
 active_tariff = int(tariff.value)

 electricity_used_total = telegram[obis_references.ELECTRICITY_USED_TARIFF_ALL[active_tariff - 1]]
 electricity_delivered_total = telegram[obis_references.ELECTRICITY_DELIVERED_TARIFF_ALL[active_tariff - 1]]

 gas_reading = telegram[obis_references.HOURLY_GAS_METER_READING]

# See dsmr_reader.obis_references for all readable telegram values.
# Note that the avilable values differ per DSMR version.

Telegram as an Object

An object version of the telegram is available as well.

# DSMR v4.2 p1 using dsmr_parser and telegram objects

from dsmr_parser import telegram_specifications
from dsmr_parser.clients import SerialReader, SERIAL_SETTINGS_V5
from dsmr_parser.objects import CosemObject, MBusObject, Telegram
from dsmr_parser.parsers import TelegramParser
import os

serial_reader = SerialReader(
    device='/dev/ttyUSB0',
    serial_settings=SERIAL_SETTINGS_V5,
    telegram_specification=telegram_specifications.V4
)

# telegram = next(serial_reader.read_as_object())
# print(telegram)

for telegram in serial_reader.read_as_object():
    os.system('clear')
    print(telegram)

Accessing the telegrams information as attributes directly:

telegram
Out[3]: <dsmr_parser.objects.Telegram at 0x7f5e995d9898>
telegram.CURRENT_ELECTRICITY_USAGE
Out[4]: <dsmr_parser.objects.CosemObject at 0x7f5e98ae5ac8>
telegram.CURRENT_ELECTRICITY_USAGE.value
Out[5]: Decimal('2.027')
telegram.CURRENT_ELECTRICITY_USAGE.unit
Out[6]: 'kW'

The telegram object has an iterator, can be used to find all the information elements in the current telegram:

Installation

To install DSMR Parser:

$ pip install dsmr-parser

Known issues

If the serial settings SERIAL_SETTINGS_V2_2 or SERIAL_SETTINGS_V4 don't work. Make sure to try and replace the parity settings to EVEN or NONE. It's possible that alternative settings will be added in the future if these settings don't work for the majority of meters.
