Frient Electricity Meter Interface 2, P1 (Zigbee)

The frient Electricity Meter Interface 2, P1 (Zigbee) is a smart energy monitoring device designed for residential electricity meters equipped with a P1 port (a common standard for modern smart meters in many European countries, based on DSMR specifications). It plugs directly into the meter's P1 port to read real-time and historical energy data, which it then transmits wirelessly via Zigbee 3.0 to a compatible smart home hub. This device is key for gaining immediate, precise insights into household power consumption and is designed for easy, professional-free self-installation

Features

• P1 Port Connectivity: Designed specifically to plug into the RJ12-connected P1 data port found on many modern smart electricity meters (supporting DSMR 4.2 and 5.0.2).
• Real-Time Energy Monitoring: Provides continuous, real-time data on electricity consumption, enabling users to track usage as it happens.
• Load Shifting Support: By identifying consumption peaks, the data facilitates "load shifting"—moving heavy electrical usage (like EV charging or laundry) to off-peak hours, which can reduce costs and alleviate stress on the power grid.
• Zigbee 3.0 Certified: Uses the Zigbee 3.0 wireless protocol for secure, reliable, and energy-efficient communication with compatible smart home gateways/hubs.
• Self-Powered: The device is supplied with power directly from the P1 interface (5 V), meaning it requires no batteries or separate power cables.
• Easy DIY Installation: It is designed for simple, plug-and-play installation by the end-user, requiring no professional assistance.
• Over-the-Air (OTA) Updates: Firmware is OTA-upgradeable, which increases the product's longevity and allows for remote feature and security updates.
