Secure communication
From what I can see and tested, the available communication modes of the power meters are as follows. This was tested on the latest firmware version (ATVi.75.98.68@MX1290).
| Plain text | Secure TLS | |
|---|---|---|
| MQTT | MQTT - Yes | MQTTS - No |
| HTTP | HTTP - yes | HTTPS - only port 443 |
| TCP | yes | yes |
So the only secure way to send data to a server on the internet is by using a raw TLS TCP socket. This is a custom protocol, so one will need to write your own server software.
Request:
Please add support for MQTTS and HTTPS so that we can use standard server software like Mosquitto, Apache, NGINX, etc. to send data securely via the internet.
PS: someone mentioned they got HTTPS working, but I was not able to do that - https://imeter.club/topic/471
- I stumbled upon a "hidden settings" document that mentions HTTPS will automatically be used if the port is 443 - and only 443.
Please refer to https://www.iammeter.com/newsshow/blog-fw-features#http-or-https
If you use https ,it only supports the port of 433 now.
