Basic: preparing the digital meter - plan-d-io/P1-dongle GitHub Wiki

Opening the P1-port on your digital meter.

The P1 data port is not enabled by default. You might have to unlock it on your DSO's portal. It might take some time for the activation of the P1-port to take effect.

We only document the procedure for Flemish digital meters, please check with your DSO for their specific procedure. If you want to add the procedure for your DSO/digital meter, please send instructions to me.

  1. Login to your Fluvius portal via mijn.fluvius.be.
  2. Go to port management (poortbeheer).
  3. Click Poortbeheer aanvragen.
  4. Select the electricity meter that you wish to unlock. If your electricity meter is not yet in the list, you can add it here.
  5. Click Ga verder.
  6. Confirm your request and click Aanvraag bevestigen.

This may trigger a verification step by Fluvius. If your e-mail address is known by your energy supplier (and shared with Fluvius), you will receive a verification e-mail. If no e-mail address is know, you will receive a physical letter in the mail.

  1. Check your mailbox (e-mail or physical), and follow the instructions.
  2. Return to Poortbeheer. You should now see a toggle that allows you to open or close the P1-port. Click the toggle, and change the status to Open.
  3. Wait until the text changes from Poort openen... to Poort open. This may take some time.

Once the P1-port has been opened, which can take up to a day or more, the P1-dongle can be connected.
