Arduino Power Meter Reader (APMR)
This is an Arduino based embedded systems that can read RS485/Modbus power meters and send the readings via a RESTful web service. Currently it is reading my PowerLogic ION6200 meters and storing the readings on “the cloud”. APMR has been running since the beginning of this year (2011). I am now starting to slowly release this project as open source. Hopefully people can us it and add to it. You can find the source code on GitHub. Stay tuned for the details ( and schematics for making the shields)…
The Hardware
I will be adding more text to this project page in the near future. In the meantime here are some pictures:

Arduino RTC Shield
My RTC Shield is based off of SparkFun’s Real Time Clock Module.

Fantastic project.
I am currently undertaking the same type of project – however, I am attempting to read the data from the IrDA port of an Elster A100C meter.
Thanks. I am hoping to post post more info soon. I have been too busy lately. You project sounds very interesting. You will have to let me know how it turns out.
Hi Stephen,
That AMR setup is marvelous!. I am also working on a similar project. I am using simplemodbus library to create a web service which will be consumed by a OPC Server to push data to PI system. Can I have the schematic for the RS485 shield? Thanks in advance.
Bye

Hi Vasent,
I have posted the schematic of the RS485 Shield above. I will also make the schematic for the RTC Shield available in the near future.
Cheers,
Stephen.
