Hello,

I would like to change the deviation highbyte and deviation lowbyte in the Clock.Time attribute.

The code i'm using is:
clock = GXDLMSClock()
clock.time = GXDateTime(datetime.datetime.now())
clock.timeZone = 60
clock.deviation = 60

but what it is creating is
<OctetString>
<SpecifiedLength>12</SpecifiedLength>
<Contents>07E5020F010B091002FFC400</Contents>
</OctetString>

with FFC4 as deviation. In this field we use 003C.

How can I change these fields?

Thanks

Hi,

Hi,

Your meter is using UTC time zone and not the DLMS standard time zone. You need to set useUtc2NormalTime for the client.

cl = GXDLMSClient()
cl.useUtc2NormalTime = True

Hi,

Hi,

The date-time is causing a lot of problems. :-(
Some meters expect that ms is not used and some that it is zero.
This deviation is also causing problems...
BR,
Mikko
