       So my utilities provider installed a new smart water meter (#Axioma #Qalcosonic #W1) in my house. Typically for Germany there is a requirement to install smart products upon exchange of metering devices (because there's an EU directive about it) while the utilities provider a) has no infrastructure nor processes in place to deal with smart devices and b) actively tells customers to GO AWAY RIGHT NOW when they ask how they could integrate the smart meters in their home automation.

       Add to that the unwillingness of #Axioma to provide any information on how to query their devices to end users I'm stuck with reverse engineering the thing. At least it's a good way to get into the various technologies necessary to get the stuff done.

       However, if anyone out there has any knowledge about the #Axioma #Qalcosonic #W1, especially about how to use the IR/optical port to query and/or configure the meter, I'd be happy to get any help.Please boost this.
