About the ZigBee SmartMeter Reader PCB

ZigBee SmartMeter Reader is an open source ESP32 PCB design by Tropaion, published on GitHub under the GPL-3.0 license. It is a 2-layer board measuring 43.3 × 37.6 mm, with 36 components from 28 distinct parts.

Its main chip is the ESP32-C6-MINI-1/U, from the ESP32 family. Other key parts include the NCN5150DG and TLV1117-33. By type, the board carries 11 resistors, 9 capacitors, 6 diodes, 5 connectors, 3 ICs and 2 switches.

It belongs with the iot & wireless designs in this gallery.

From the project

This is a ZigBee device to collect data from smartmeters using the DLMS/COSEM protocol.

Ever since I got the smartmeter "Sagemcom T-210D" with the P1 user interface, I wanted to integrate it into my ZigBee network. Since I didn't find any existing solution, I decided to develop my own.

If someone is interested in buying an assembled PCB, pm me. Currently I have one board with external antenna available.

ZigBee SmartMeter Reader: common questions

What microcontroller does the ZigBee SmartMeter Reader use?

The ZigBee SmartMeter Reader is built around the ESP32-C6-MINI-1/U, from the ESP32 family.

How big is the ZigBee SmartMeter Reader PCB?

The ZigBee SmartMeter Reader measures 43.3 × 37.6 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the ZigBee SmartMeter Reader?

36 components, from 28 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the ZigBee SmartMeter Reader design files?

From the Tropaion/ZigBee_SmartMeter_Reader repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the schematic; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the ZigBee SmartMeter Reader design in my own project?

Yes, under the terms of its GPL-3.0 license, which Tropaion chose for the repository.

Can I test firmware for the ZigBee SmartMeter Reader without the hardware?

Yes. HardLabs builds a simulation of the board from its netlist and BOM, so you can run and debug ESP32 firmware against it before you order a PCB.
