Captured Meter Data Analysis

There have been two packet types observed thus far, a 0x55 and a 0xD5 packet.

• 0x55 appears to be broadcasts from the meters and happen frequently. They have been observed multiple times per minute from a single meter.

• 0xD5 appears to be a packet for transporting data across the mesh network. Each D5 packet will contain two meter ID's, Meter ID #1 and Meter ID #2. There are many 0xD5 packet length and types that have been observed, some are shown below.

0x55 Meter Data

The data below was captured from the same meter (F0EE36DB) and shows some of the values that can change with each transmission. Different meters have different fixed data and some of the data changes less frequently as well.

1) Header = 0x00FF2A

2) Packet Type = 0x55

3) Packet Length = 0x0023

4) Unknown Identifier #1 = 0x30

5) Unknown Empty Data Slot = FFFFFFFFFFFF

6) Unknown Identifier #2 = 0x50

7) Unknown Identifier #3 = CF8DD9E2 (Appears to either be location identifier or duplicate meter ID in some cases)

8) Unknown Identifier #4 = C0

9) Unknown Data #1 = 02 (Increments some amount with each transmission and rolls over at 0xFF)

10) Uptime = 0x0001ECA3 (Value in seconds since meter powered on, easy way to see last time there was an outage!)

11) Unknown Identifier #5 = 0xA483

12) Meter ID = 0xF0EE36DB

13) Unknown Identifier #6 = 0x0100

14) Unknown Data #2 = 0x2132

15) Unknown Data #3 = 0x042D19

16) Unknown Identifier #7 = 0x7E80

17) Checksum = 0xF154

18) Trailing byte = 0x04
