Hi, Mikko!

I found bug into GXDLMSObjectCollection.load() method
Deserialization of Item
<GXDLMSData>
<Value Type="3">0</Value>
</GXDLMSData>
return object_data.value=True

At method GXDLMSConverter.changeType() instead
ret = bool(value)
should fix on
ret = bool(int(value))

Hi,

Hi,

You are giving the integer as a string. You need to change it like this:
GXXmlReader.GXDLMSConverter.changeType(0, DataType.BOOLEAN)

This is not changed for now because a meter returns a boolean value as an integer value.

Mikko

Hi,

Hi,

> You need to change it like this GXXmlReader.GXDLMSConverter.changeType(0, DataType.BOOLEAN)
No, i use Gurux.DLMS.GXDLMSObjectCollection.load(filename). Changes need to be made in Gurux.DLMS module https://github.com/Gurux/Gurux.DLMS.Python/blob/0e232efdeb44c39ac5a7205…

In method Gurux.DLMS.GXXmlReader.readElementContentAsObject():

str_ = self.currentElement.text # str_ = '0' - str type, not integer!
ret = GXDLMSConverter.changeType(str_, uiType) # uiType=DataType.BOOLEAN
# ret = True
