Water meter with IZAR module (Diehl IZAR RC 868 I R4 PL)

diehl_metering

I did some experiments with wmbusmeters, DVT SDR_STICK, NANOCUL and ended up with: ESPHome - ESP32 (v4) + CC1101.

With the NANOCUL solutions, I always had problems with the USB input and with the high resource consumption on the NUC or Raspberry computers.


ESPHome + ESP32 (v4) + CC1101

ESPHome - ESP32 (v4) + CC1101 is the best solution for me because the resource requirement is low.

ESP8266 vs ESP32 (v4)

The version with WEMOS D1MINI (ESP8266) was my first version. WEMOS D1MINI (ESP8266) has only limited RAM and can only be used to a limited extent. If there are too many sensors and the logger level is to high, a JSON memory error occurs, which causes the device to restart again and again.

Note: The ESP32 has more RAM memory and is therefore better suited for use. To prevent this, it is absolutely necessary to set the log level to warn. Otherwise, at a higher log level, JSON errors will occur in productive operation.
