Creating a global reading using the P1 port of the smart/digital meter
If you set up a global reading using the P1 port, energy readings with wireless measuring modules or measuring modules in the cabinet configured in the Niko Home Control programming software are overruled. Only the P1 data is shown in the Niko Home app, on the touchscreen, and the Digital Black.
Starting point
Your digital meter type is:
Dutch smart meter (DSMR 2.2, 3,4 and 5)
Belgian digital meter (Fluvius, Ores, Resa and Sibelga)
Your installation is equipped with one of the following:
Procedure
Connect the smart/digital meter with the provided P1 cable to the wireless bridge or wireless smart hub.
Result: The global reading (consumption from the grid) automatically appears in the Niko Home app, on the touchscreen, and the Digital black.
No configuration is needed in the Niko Home Control programming software.
Check if the P1 port is active. If not, contact your electricity network operator to activate the P1 port on your digital meter. In Belgium, an activation is always required.
If your digital gas and water meters are connected to your digital electricity meter, also these readings are shown in the Niko Home app, on the touchscreen and the Digital black.
The maximum length of the P1 cable is 2 m. To extend the distance between the smart/digital meter and the wireless bridge or the wireless smart hub use an extra UTP cable and a P1 extension module set (Brand Cedel - Article number P1-VRL-UNV).
