What it is AI-extracted, prompt v1, taxonomy v1, 2026-08-30, confidence not recorded

A Go-based software-defined radio receiver that decodes Itron ERT smart meter transmissions in the 900MHz ISM band using an inexpensive rtl-sdr dongle. It lets users non-invasively record and analyze their household utility consumption data.

Use cases

  • read my smart meter consumption with an rtl-sdr dongle
  • decode Itron ERT SCM messages from a 900MHz meter
  • log household utility usage data locally
  • capture interval data messages from smart meters
  • monitor my own gas or electric meter wirelessly

When to choose

  • you have an rtl-sdr dongle and an Itron ERT-compatible smart meter
  • you want a simple command-line receiver for SCM, SCM+, IDM, or NetIDM messages
  • you want to self-host your own consumption data collection

When to avoid

  • your meter uses a protocol other than Itron ERT
  • you need a polished GUI or cloud dashboard rather than raw message output
  • you lack an rtl-sdr receiver or rtl_tcp setup
