Find the address of the device
To read a device with Modbus TCP, you need to know the address of this device. The smart-me devices obtain the IP address from the local DHCP server. There are two ways to find the address:
Enable DNS: The easiest way to connect to a smart-me device in the local network is to enable the automatic DNS update. More information: Dynamic DNS
Configure DHCP / Router Server: Another way to find out the IP address of a smart-me meter is to look it up on your router or DHCP server. Search for an entry with a MAC address which begins with "D0 :".
