Serial Teleinfo

This project provides Python utilities to access data from Enedis energy meters using a serial converter :

• serial_teleinfo provides the classes to read and parse data
• serial_teleinfo.server is a simple web-server to access live readings through a JSON api

You will need a serial adapter such as the Micro Teleinfo to use this package.

Running the server

The web server exposes a JSON API providing live data read from the energy meter :

{
   "connected":true,
   "ready":true,
   "values":{
      "ISOUSC": [30, "A"],
      "BASE": [804220, "Wh"],
      "PTEC": ["TH", null],
      "IINST": [1, "A"],
      "IMAX": [90, "A"],
      "PAPP": [340, "VA"],
      "HHPHC": ["A", null],
      "MOTDETAT": ["000000", null],
      "ADCO": ["012345678901", null],
      "OPTARIF": ["BASE", null]
   }
}

Configuration file

The configuration is as follows :

[teleinfo]
device=/dev/ttyUSB0
loglevel=INFO

[http]
listen=127.0.0.1:8000

[users]
apiuser=apipassword

• teleinfo/device : The path to the serial port.
• teleinfo/loglevel (optionnal) : Modifies the log verbosity, it can be DEBUG, INFO, WARNING, ERROR. Default is INFO.
• http/listen : The host and port to listen to.
• users : A list of user/password allowed to use the API (using basic authentification).

Using python

Install the package :

pip install serial-teleinfo[server]

Create a configuration file teleinfo.ini as described above and run the command :

python -m serial_teleinfo.server teleinfo.ini

Once the server is running, you can access the values at http://apiuser:apipassword@localhost:8000/status.json.

Using Docker

A docker image is provided, here's an example docker-compose.yml :

version: '3'
services:
  teleinfo:
    image: ugomeda/serial-teleinfo
    restart: always
    devices:
      - /dev/ttyUSB0
    environment:
      HTTP_LISTEN: "0.0.0.0:7777"
      USERS_PASSWORD: "Str0ngPa55w0rd!"
      TELEINFO_LOGLEVEL: "DEBUG"
    ports:
      - "7777:7777"

You can access the values at http://apiuser:Str0ngPa55w0rd!@SERVERIP:7777/status.json.

The environment variables are :

Using the library

Install the package :

pip install serial-teleinfo

serial_teleinfo.Client

This class provides direct access to the values read on the serial port.

Here's an example usage :

import serial
from serial_teleinfo import Client, TeleinfoException

try:
    with Client("/dev/ttyUSB0") as client:
        while True:
            print(client.read_value())
except TeleinfoException as e:
    print(e)
except serial.SerialException as e:
    print(e)

You can also refer to the serial_teleinfo.ValueUpdater implementation.

serial_teleinfo.ValueUpdater

This utility class manages a background thread to update values indefinitely. It will automatically handle reconnection to the serial port and ignore temporary errors or reccuring unknown keys.

It provides 3 main properties :

• values : A dictionary with all the values
• connected : True if the client is connected to the meter
• ready : True if all the values are available

You can also override the update_value method to access the read values as they are read.

Heres an example usage :

import time
from serial_teleinfo import ValueUpdater


class MyValueUpdater(ValueUpdater):
    def update_value(self, value):
        print(f"Updated {value.key}")

        super().update_value(value)


updater = MyValueUpdater("/dev/ttyUSB0")
updater.start()

try:
    while True:
        print(f"Connected : {updater.connected}")
        print(f"Ready : {updater.ready}")
        for value in updater.values.values():
            print(value)

        time.sleep(2)
finally:
    updater.stop()
