Hi,

Hi,

You can use GXDLMSClient.ChangeType to convert byte array to date-time.
Something like this:

GXDLMSClient.ChangeType((byte[])value, DataType.DateTime, useUtc);

Set useUtc to true, if your meter is using UTC time (Indian and Italy meters are using this and to false if your meter is from Europe.

BR,
Mikko
