Asynchronous Python client for the P1 Monitor API.
About
There are many ways to read the serial port (P1) of your smart meter and what you do with the data that comes out. With this python library your platform can read P1 Monitor via the API and use the data for example for an integration in Home Assistant.
Installation
pip install p1monitor
Usage
import asyncio
from p1monitor import P1Monitor
async def main():
"""Show example on getting P1 Monitor data."""
async with P1Monitor(host="192.168.1.2", port=80) as client:
smartmeter = await client.smartmeter()
watermeter = await client.watermeter()
settings = await client.settings()
phases = await client.phases()
print(smartmeter)
print(watermeter)
print(settings)
print(phases)
if __name__ == "__main__":
asyncio.run(main())
More examples can be found in the examples folder.
Class: P1Monitor
This is the main class that you will use to interact with the P1 Monitor.
| Parameter | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
host |
True |
The IP address of the P1 Monitor. |
port |
False |
The port of the P1 Monitor. Default is 80. |
Data
There is a lot of data that you can read via the API:
SmartMeter
- Gas Consumption
- Power Consumption / Production
- Energy Consumption Low/High
- Energy Production Low/High
- Energy Tariff Period
Phases
- Voltage phases L1/2/3
- Current Phases L1/2/3
- Power consumed phases L1/2/3
- Power Produced phases L1/2/3
WaterMeter
- Day Consumption (liters)
- Total Consumption (m3)
- Day Pulse count
Settings
- Gas Consumption Price
- Energy Consumption Price Low/High
- Energy Production Price Low/High
Contributing
This is an active open-source project. We are always open to people who want to use the code or contribute to it.

Setting up development environment
The simplest way to begin is by utilizing the Dev Container feature of Visual Studio Code or by opening a CodeSpace directly on GitHub. By clicking the button below you immediately start a Dev Container in Visual Studio Code.
This Python project relies on Poetry as its dependency manager, providing comprehensive management and control over project dependencies.
You need at least:
- Python 3.11+
- Poetry
Installation
Install all packages, including all development requirements:
poetry install
Poetry creates by default an virtual environment where it installs all necessary pip packages.
Pre-commit
This repository uses the pre-commit framework, all changes are linted and tested with each commit. To setup the pre-commit check, run:
poetry run pre-commit install
And to run all checks and tests manually, use the following command:
poetry run pre-commit run --all-files
Testing
It uses pytest as the test framework. To run the tests:
poetry run pytest
To update the syrupy snapshot tests:
poetry run pytest --snapshot-update
