P1 Smart meter with LAN interface through a raspberry Pi

I relocated my NAS running domoticz so I cant direcly connect it to the smart meter via P1 with USB. I do have a raspberry pi near the smart meter, to which I can connect the P1 USB cable. Instead of installing domoticz on it and letting domoticz forward the info from the smart meter to my NAS, is it possible to install P1 smart meter with LAN interface on my NAS and let it connect to the raspberry near my smart meter using its IP adress? How would I make the P1 data available for the NAS to read it?

Deploy Ser2net on the pi and have domoticz connect to p1 over lan ;-) works like a charm.

Thanks for your tip!! As a continuing raspi beginner, I never got up something so fast myself :D

Code: Select all

sudo apt install ser2net -y
sudo nano /etc/ser2net.conf
	3003:raw:600:/dev/ttyUSB0:115200
based on https://www.jpaul.me/2019/01/how-to-bui ... h-ser2net/

I assume the most correct way to have it functional from the start would be crontab, correct?

Code: Select all

@reboot /bin/sleep 60 ; sudo ser2net

Option 1:
I would go for run as a service. ;-)
For inspiration: https://github.com/leesy24/BBB_Web_Mana ... or-ser2net

or

Option 2:

sudo nano /etc/rc.local

add the next line before exit o :
/usr/local/sbin/ser2net -n
