DSMR

A library for parsing Dutch Smart Meter Requirements (DSMR) telegram data.

DSMR is the standardized protocol used by smart energy meters in the Netherlands, Belgium, and Luxembourg. These smart meters are installed in homes and businesses to measure electricity and gas consumption in real-time.

Smart meters continuously broadcast "telegrams" - structured data packets containing:

Current and cumulative electricity usage (delivered and returned to grid)

Gas consumption readings

Voltage and current measurements per phase

Power failure logs and quality statistics

Additional M-Bus connected devices (water, thermal, etc.)

This library parses these telegrams into Elixir structs, making it easy to build energy monitoring applications, home automation systems, or analytics dashboards.
