wmBus-tool

Instead of this software, better use wmbusmeters and publish the wmbus data to some MQTT broker...

This repo is based on the wmbus source of the ffcrg/ecpiww repo, splits it up to a library and an application part and widens its usage.

Hardware:

• Any linux
• at least one wM-Bus device
• wireless M-Bus USB Stick (2 manufacturers are supported)
  • IMST IM871A-USB Stick ( available at http://www.tekmodul.de/index.php?id=shop-wireless_m-bus_oms_module or http://webshop.imst.de/funkmodule/im871a-usb-wireless-mbus-usb-adapter-868-mhz.html)
  • AMBER Wireless M-Bus USB Adapter (http://amber-wireless.de/406-1-AMB8465-M.html)

Features:

• The application shows you all received wireless M-Bus packages.
• coming soon

TODO

• Enhance autotools
  • Generate a shared library
  • Make use of ./configure for compile time options
    • AES key readout
• Implement tests
• Use semaphore to sync threads instead of timed polling
• Add MQTT-Client
• Add REST-Client
• Seperate wMBus generic from HW dependent
  • extract IMST
  • throw out AMBER
  • Make stubs for AMBER (find somebody to test it)

Long term ToDos

• Use a plugin infrastructure to provide drivers for different wMBus interfaces See Eli Bendersky's post as a starting point.

Building the software

The build is easily done by issuing

libtoolize
aclocal
autoreconf --install
./configure
make
make check           # If you want to be sure
make doc             # If you want to have docs (html and latex)
sudo make install
