I am trying to purchase an affordable optical probe to experiment with reading data from a Kamstrup device.
So far, I havent been able to find a suitably priced device, most cost 150 euro or more. As was mentioned previously, considering the components involved, one would expect a lower price.
I did locate a group in Denmark who used to supply kits, https://www.hal9k.dk/, but they no longer supply them.
Does anyone have any advice or suggestions on where to find a reasonably priced probe.
Most of the devices I have seen have a magnetic connection to the meter. Will this trigger a Magnetic tamper alarm, if a 'homegrown' probe is connected?
Thanks for your help.

Hi Des,
Hi Des,
You are right that optical probes are very expensive. Commercial use Kamstrup is good and works well, but for home usage, it's too expensive. I got to know that TCRT5000 might do the trick. I hope that we can test this at the beginning of 2022 and see if it works. If it works, it's a cheap alternative for home use.
BR,
