everblu-meters

Fetch water/gas usage data from Cyble EverBlu meters using RADIAN protocol on 433Mhz.

Meters supported:

Itron EverBlu Cyble Enhanced

Hardware

The project runs on Raspberry Pi with an RF transreciver (CC1101).

Connections (rpi to CC1101):

pin 1 (3V3) to pin 2 (VCC)
pin 6 (GND) to pin 1 (GND)
pin 11 (GPIO0 ) to pin 3 (GDO0)
pin 24 (CE0) to pin 4 (CSN)
pin 23 (SCLK) to pin 5 (SCK)
pin 19 (MOSI) to pin 6 (MOSI)
pin 21 (MISO) to pin 7 (MISO)
pin 13 (GPIO27) to pin 8 (GD02)

Configuration

Enable SPI in raspi-config.
Install WiringPi from https://github.com/WiringPi/WiringPi/
Install mosquitto-dev: apt install mosquitto-dev
Set meter serial number and production date in cc1101.c, it can be found on the meter label itself:
Compile the code with make
Run everblu_meters, after ~2s your meter data should be on the screen.

Troubleshooting

Frequency adjustment

Your transreciver module may be not calibrated correctly, please modify frequency a bit lower or higher and try again

Business hours

Your meter may be configured in such a way that is listens for request only during hours when data collectors work - to conserve energy. If you are unable to communicate with the meter, please try again during business hours (8-16).

Serial number starting with 0

Please ignore the trailing 0, provide serial in configuration whthout it.

Origin and license

This code is based on code from http://www.lamaisonsimon.fr/wiki/doku.php?id=maison2:compteur_d_eau:compteur_d_eau

The license is unknown, citing one of the authors (fred):

I didn't put a license on this code maybe I should, I didn't know much about it in terms of licensing. this code was made by "looking" at the radian protocol which is said to be open source earlier in the page, I don't know if that helps?
