changing hardwaretype

[eddieb]

Hi,
I want to relocate my RPI with domoticz closer to my p1meter.
I am running p1meter over a network relay now thru "P1 Smart Meter with LAN interface" which is type 5 in the domoticz.db.
I want to change it to "P1 Smart Meter USB" to connect the usb cable directly to my RPI.
Can I change the type in domoticz or do I need to change the record in the database ?
Where can I find the hardwaretype id for "P1 Smart Meter USB" ?

Don't know where to find it but it is 4.
As far as I know there is no defined process for changing a hardware type of devices so you will have to experiment (after ensuring you have a working and tested backup)

tnx @waaren, I'll just try it, create an aextra backup of the DB and than change the type ... plug the usb cable over and see what happens, I will let you know

It worked ...

- made extra backup of the .db
- moved p1 usb cable to domoticz rpi
- changed the hardware type in domoticz
changed the speed to 115200
- rebooted

no history lost
