With the introduction of the capacity tariff early this year, Belgian digital meters received a firmware update. In this update, the P1 protocol was also expanded to include current, voltage, power separately for each phase, quarter-hour power and a history of the highest monthly peaks, among other things. As a result, especially for 3 phase meters but also for mono phase meters, the data set requested from the P1 every few seconds is almost doubled in length. To overcome this change, we had to modify data buffer of LoWi and ReMI module. A firmware upgrade of your module is easy but necessary .
