@federico3 TTGO T5 with an Esp32 and the b74 e-ink display module

After a few seconds in the sun, the display goes all glitch. I wonder if there is a temperature compensation command that I'm missing.

The e-ink display works and pull request sent to esphome. Now it's time to futz with fonts and interface layout.

Schematics and source code for interfacing an esp32 running esphome with the Digital Smart Meter P1 port: trmm.net/Smartmeter/

@vfrmedia @penguin42 the meter reports the power on each leg as well, although I haven't mapped out which circuits are on which phase.

Now the P1 power data shows up in grafana for the house dashboard.

@Sophistifunk@noagendasocial.com the poor ergonomics of hacking on a welcome mat since the power meter is an entryway closet

Without the pullup, there does not appear to be any data on the smart meter's P1 port. The documentation doesn't mention that it is open-collector output and even says the output voltage is >4V for `0`. I had to buy a €15 adapter cable and disassemble it to learn this, so I hope this information helps someone else.
