Reads Austrian smart meter data via Modbus TCP interface.
Overview
The CByte SMARTI is a Modbus TCP interface that reads data from Austrian EVU smart meters (KAIFA 309). This template provides grid voltage, current, power, energy, and power factor readings from supported utility meters across multiple Austrian providers.
Key readings
Grid voltage L1 to L3
Grid current L1 to L3
Grid power import
Grid power export
Grid active energy import/export
Grid power factor
Use cases
Monitor real-time grid import and export power to track household energy balance on a cloud dashboard.
Log active energy import and export over time to verify utility billing for Austrian EVU customers.
Create alerts when grid voltage on any phase falls outside acceptable limits for more than five minutes.
Visualize three-phase current distribution to detect load imbalances in commercial installations.
Combine smart meter data with PV inverter readings to calculate self-consumption ratios remotely.
Track power factor readings to identify potential reactive power issues in small commercial buildings.
Installation
1Connect the CByte SMARTI to the customer interface port on the KAIFA 309 smart meter as described in the SMARTI installation manual.
2Connect the CByte SMARTI to your local network via Ethernet and assign a static IP address or use DHCP reservation.
3Connect the ModbusCloud gateway (MCG or MLP series) to the same local network as the CByte SMARTI.
4In the ModbusCloud portal, add a new Modbus TCP device using the SMARTI's IP address and the correct unit ID.
5Import the CByte SMARTI template from the ModbusCloud template library and assign it to the configured device.
6Verify that all readings, especially the uint32 energy registers spanning two consecutive addresses, display plausible values on the dashboard.
