Smart energy meter
Does the dongle needs a adapter with your smart meter type?
With new smart meters, the dongle can be connected without the need for an adapter to a socket. The dongle draws its power from the P1 port of the smart meter. Older meters require additional power to the wall outlet because the P1 port does not supply or not enough power. You can see which meter you have by looking at the serial number under the barcode on your smart meter.
