It would be great if you could elaborate more on how to change the device ID.

Thank you.

if want to change energy meter's rs485 address (device ID), just send by protocol command it ok. because we have uploaded KinCony's energy meter protocol, it will different with your meter. you need to check your meter's protocol.

I think it would be great to offer a board with low level SSR Omron 16..32..64.. Just an idea.
