Thanks for the nice code: soldering as we speak

On line 75 in p1meter_sym,py

I changed the code to
buf = bytearray(msg, 'utf8')

So an error was solved, not sure if it was introduced with a newer version (1.20) of micropython.

Thanks,

Mine is still running v1.14 Stable, but I guess it is time to update 👍

One question on the wiring:
I have a perfect Wifi connection and working device when used via USB
When I connect my P1 it does not connect to Wifi, no error messages in the console.

Strange, any clue what this could be? Wiring I presume, I use a physical P1 splitter, straight cable to the ESP32

Finally got around to adding your patch.
For wifi connection the main thing to check is the SSID and password, it should connect no matter what.
The only thing I remember is that at one point I had used one of the strapping pins to connect to the P1 port, and that kept the device from starting.
