OBIS codes

On this page you will find information about what an OBIS code is and how to understand the values read from registers of an energy meter.

OBIS code

OBIS code is a numerical code which represents the physical quantity measured by the meter. Let's look at the example.

1.8.0(158233.46*kWh)

It contains 3 elements: OBIS code 1.8.0, counter value 158233.46 and the unit kWh separated with specific characters. The OBIS codes corresponds to the type of measurement. For example, 1.8.0 corresponds to positive active energy consumed from the grid. What does that mean? This is the amount of active energy you consumed since your meter was installed (or its registers were reset).

The display of your meter will most likely show more readable values.

Why 1.8.0? It has been defined in the IEC62056-21 standard (as amended), in which the exact representation of OBIS codes must be represented. Most of the meters compatible with our device follow the concepts of this standard.

Summary codes

OBIS code represents how much
1.8.0 / 2.8.0 active energy has been consumed / returned to the grid
3.8.0 / 4.8.0 reactive energy has been received from / returned to the grid
5.8.0 / 7.8.0 inductive reactive energy has been received from / returned to the grid
6.8.0 / 8.8.0 capacitive reactive energy has been returned / received from the grid

We need two OBIS codes to represent the produced and consumed energy, because a meter counter counts forward only.

Tariff codes

OBIS code represents how much
1.8.1 - 1.8.4 active energy has been consumed in particular tariff zones
2.8.1 - 2.8.4 active energy has been returned to the grid in particular tariff zones

Special codes

OBIS code description example
S.1.1.2 Device battery status 2.76
S.1.1.4 Readout timestamp (real) 2020-11-19 10:45:02
S.1.1.6 Successful readouts since restart (e.g. battery replacement) 433
S.1.1.7 Failed readout attempts on 1-st/2-nd communication message 23/22
S.1.1.8 Meter communication parameters 3, 300
S.1.1.9 Temperature 24
S.1.1.10 Readout timestamp (corrected) 2020-11-19 10:45:00
S.1.1.12 Energy consumption (based on blink measurements) 10.44
S.1.1.16 Device status LAST_READOUT_INCORRECT

Clarifications

  • S.1.1.7: The device asks meter for data twice. First it asks for an identifier, then registers with OBIS values. That is why we may have failed readouts on two messages.
  • S.1.1.8: It is the infrared transmission power (3) and a baud rate used for the communication (300 bps).
  • S.1.1.12: Based on the blinks/usage ratio and number of blinks counted, we can calculate the estimated energy consumption.
