It abstracts away low-level SML parsing and provides access to OBIS meter values. The library supports multiple transport mechanisms\u2014direct serial connections, serial-over-TCP bridges, and HTTP endpoints\u2014making it flexible for different deployment scenarios.\n\nThe package is actively used by Home Assistant's EDL21 integration and includes example code for publishing meter readings to MQTT. It depends on aiohttp, bitstring, and serialx for async HTTP, binary protocol handling, and serial communication. With MIT licensing and support for Python 3.11 through 3.14, it suits home automation, energy monitoring, and utility data collection workflows.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need to read EDL21 smart meters. The library is actively maintained, has low install friction, carries no known vulnerabilities, and is proven in Home Assistant. MIT license is unrestrictive. Main consideration: ensure your meter model and transport method are supported, and your Python environment is 3.11 or later."},"id":"pysml","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pysml","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pysml.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/pysml/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-05-31","license_spdx":"MIT","license_treatment":"permissive","name":"pysml","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Python library for EDL21 smart meters using Smart Message Language (SML)"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":77848,"position":14488,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.1.8"}
