Read data from a power meter (eHZ = Elektronischer Haushaltszähler) using Smart Message Language (SML).
First of all you need is a eHZ (Elektronischer Haushaltszähler) and an IrDA USB dongle like described [here](https://wiki.volkszaehler.org/hardware/controllers/ir-schreib-lesekopf). I got mine from Udo ([Volkszaehler](http://volkszaehler.org)) some time ago but it looks like he is not directly selling these anymore. What I found is [this link](https://shop.weidmann-elektronik.de/index.php?page=product&info=24) to a shop selling the same dongles.

I used several information from the openHAB community, mainly from [this topic](https://community.openhab.org/t/using-a-power-meter-sml-with-openhab/21923/1).
