I'm with United Energy and you can register devices via their web portal.

I'm pretty sure Richard was on a different supply network who offered a 
service so you could provide your ZigBee devices HW address & they'd program 
the smart meter to permit it to bind.

That's what I've bought, though of course I can't use it until Ausnet decide 
to allow customers to bind ZigBee devices to their meters. :-(

Still not here, because Ausnet Services horrible Flash based
MyHomeEnergy.com.au website still says for ZigBee Devices:

# ZigBee management is currently under pilot and is not currently available.
# Enter access code to continue.

Basically it looks like it hasn't changed for 2 years. :-(

I pinged them via twitter to see if there was any news.  Also pinged Greenwave
who seemed to make the "gateway" device they say you can connect (and for
which the website does prompt for a MAC address).

Going back through my email I can see that in 2014 I did a support request
with them and was told:

# At this point of time AusNet Services does not support the customer binding
# of ZigBee devices (eg In Home Display) to their smart meter. In the future,
# it will be possible to connect near-real-time devices to most smart meters
# via ZigBee (IHD). When these devices are connected correctly and have
# reliable communication, devices will be able to show “near real time” power
# usage (1 min readings).
#
# There is active project underdevelopment but there is no fixed time frame
# when ZigBee enablement of smart meters in the AusNet Services network
# will occur – it will be most likely sometimes late this year.

I'm guessing that means they might still be working on it.

I'm going to try and reopen that request to see if there is any news.

Might be worth opening your own request with them too!


Richard Keech gave a talk in August 2014 and I thought he had a kludge 
to access the data.

Unfortunately LUV's past talks doesn't deliver up the relevant file.

SP Ausnet and ZigBee devices

[Brian May via luv-main]

Hello,

Has anybody had any recent experience talking to smart power meters via
ZigBee, preferably on Linux? e.g. what hardware? what software?

The only thing I can find is this post from several years ago:
