Read data from a power meter (eHZ = Elektronischer Haushaltszähler) using Smart Message Language (SML).
First of all you need a IrDA USB dongle like described [here](https://wiki.volkszaehler.org/hardware/controllers/ir-schreib-lesekopf). I got mine from Udo ([Volkszaehler](http://volkszaehler.org)) but it looks like he is not selling these anymore.
