Activate the customer port

Contact your electricity network provider and ask them to activate the customer port on your electricity meter. The real-time dongle can't receive any data until the port is activated. You can continue with the steps below in the meantime.

Check your Wi-Fi

Make sure that your Wi-Fi network meets the Wi-Fi requirements, for example that it uses 2.4 GHz and reaches the electricity meter.

Set it up with the app

Open your electricity company's app and follow the instructions to add the real-time dongle. If your electricity company doesn't have an app, use the free Elveta Connect app. The app connects to the real-time dongle over Bluetooth and sends your Wi-Fi details to it.

Plug in the real-time dongle when asked by the app

Remove the plastic cover over the module slot at the top of the Kamstrup OMNIPOWER^® meter. If the cover is sealed, ask your electricity network provider for permission before you remove it. Slide the real-time dongle carefully into the slot so that it connects to the meter's internal connector, as shown in the picture. When inserted, give it an extra push to make sure it is fully inserted into the slot. The real-time dongle is powered by the electricity meter, so no cable is needed.

Add another P1 dongle (optional)

The real-time dongle for Kamstrup OMNIPOWER^® meters has an RJ12 expansion port that passes on the data from the electricity meter. This lets you connect a second P1 dongle if needed, for example for load balancing. The expansion port only provides data, not power, so the second dongle needs its own power supply.
