ModbusLogMQTT

Modbus Energy Meter Logger and MQTT gateway

Log Modbus Energy Meter data to InfluxDB on a Raspberry Pi and publish values via MQTT

Based on original project on Github

Added features

• base configuration using ini file
• MQTT publishing to use the readings in other systems
• split data aquiring completely in momentary (power) and energy readings with different intervals
• calculate daily total energy usage and log to file system as a backup
• higher sample rate for momentary power reading, write to database on power changes and/or interval
• separate interval for aquiring/writing energy readings
• split InfluxDB logging in momentary (power) and energy readings (seperate databases if desired to enable usage of different retention policies and continuous queries)
• enhanced meters configuration to support that changes, using yaml file as in original project
• many more improvements

Verified to work on a Raspberry Pi 4 with Digitus USB-RS485 Interface, reading values from 3 Eastron SDM120 instruments. By changing the meters.yml file and making a corresponding metertype_[model].yml file it should be possible to use other modbus enabled models.

Requirements

Hardware

• Raspberry Pi 2/3/4
• RS485 USB interface or RS485 Shield for RPi
• Modbus based Energy Meter(s), e.g WEBIQ 131D / Eastron SDM120 or WEBIQ 343L / Eastron SMD630

Software

• Rasbian
• Python 3.7 and PIP
• Minimalmodbus
• InfluxDB
• Grafana

Prerequisite

The original project has been documented at Hackster. Please follow the instructions there for more detailed information. Also check original project on Github.
