Dear friends.

Im using the lattest code on github. I dont want to read the whole association view, because i already know the OBIS i need. Im trying to reuse the main.py to read single OBIS this way,

val = read("1.1.91.7.0.255", 2)

But the method fail, i get error

'str' object has no attribute 'name'.

How i define the requiered OBIS like a class or object, that allow the read method works ?

The purpose of this is create a custom script that reads periodically a meter, without lose time downloading Association view.

Thank you so much.

Hi,

Hi,

You need to know object type and OBIS code to read it.
You can do it something like this:

clock1 = GXDLMSClock("0.0.1.0.0.255")
val = read("1.1.91.7.0.255", 2)

//Access 2th attribute that is date and time.
print(clock1.time)

BR,

Mikko
