Help identifying endpoint id for smart meter

[AStoker]

I'm trying to identify the endpoint for my meter. It's a Itron Gen 5 (Model: NIC 531-0601-13). I'm getting SCM+ messages with endpoints that don't seem to match anything on my meter. Searching the internet for help has only lead me to 5 year old questions on reddit :D I'm not sure if the stickers for FCC Ids have changed, or what's going on. Could somebody help me identify how to parse the endpoint ID?
BTW, this is what my output looks like

Doesn't look like you've got a compatible meter. The FCC report has internal photos with a Silver Spring Networks IC, and the FCC label doesn't have an ID in the expected format for ERT.

[AStoker]

What would all those messages I'm seeing be then? All the neighbors have the same kind of meter

[AStoker]

Not that it adds much credibility, but it looks like at least on the community spreadsheet doc, somebody posted this one as working. Wish I knew for certain though :D

For me the easiest was to identify the actual reading. I see a bunch of gas meters and water meters but no electrical with my setup.--Nils Gokemeijer (Sent from iPhone)On Jul 4, 2024, at 12:44 PM, Andrew Stoker ***@***.***> wrote: Not that it adds much credibility, but it looks like at least on the community spreadsheet doc, somebody posted this one as working.

Hey @AStoker I'm also near Columbia, SC (Chapin) and trying to read my Dominion meter as well. I get a bunch of different EndpointIDs starting with 130 just as you are, and they seem to be the gas meters. Check yours and I bet one of the IDs matches.

No luck so far with the electric meter. I may try to test some different frequencies and see if anything comes up. If I do find something I'll report back here.

[jcgoette]

Is your gas meter an ERG-7000-001 (FCC ID: EWQ500GA)? If so, any specific rtlamr setup to capture these? :)

[bbobrian]

That is my exact meter. Try rtl_amr -msgtype=scm+ and you should see messages within a minute or so. I pick up 3-4 different meters with the NooElec Nano 2 Plus and the telescoping antenna it came with.

Just got a SDR and was trying to get my HA instance set up with RTLAMR, and also in the Columbia area with a Dominion meter. Did y'all ever figure it out/get anything working to read your electric usage?
Thanks in advance!

[bbobrian]

Unfortunately, no. I actually went to revisit this a few weeks ago to at least get the gas meter data into HA, but was no longer able to get any readings at all.

As far as Dominion, my next thought was to try to access the API used in their "Energy Analyzer" interface. It's using a system called Bidgely, which I found a few projects trying to integrate with. That's as far as I've gotten.

I'm using an IR phototransistor to monitor the IR LEDs in the optical connector. I think its the LED on the left. On my meter, it flashes once every two W/hr. A previous version of a meter had the same optical connector, but flashed every 12 W/hr. I just had to watch it for a while to figure which was right. I use an arduino as a A/D converter and have some filters programmed in to smooth out the signal. I cant remember the name of the filter, but basically it just ignores any transition between (for example) 1 and 4 volts. It assumes a high once the voltage crosses above 4v, and doesnt assume low until it crosses below 1v. There is a lot of noise on my wire, its 20+ ft long, and sometimes flickers of sunlight cause jitter.
They used to read the meter manually using the optical coupler, but have since prgrammed it into the RF mesh, so I just cover the LED lens with electrical tape and no one ever disturbs it. Just takes some sample analysis to find the right way to handle it.
