@bandaangosta Do you happen to have a TCP-version of this script? I'm now trying to access the data through a serial server running on an ESP-module. I can see from the log (of ESP Easy) that my script connects to the serial server, there's a single blink from a red LED on the PZEM-004t, but no data back :(

edit: Got as far as

import socket, sys

socket.setdefaulttimeout(5)

try:
    client = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
except socket.error:
    print('Failed to create socket')
    sys.exit()

print('Socket Created')
ESP_IP= "*.*.*.*"
ESP_PORT = *
client.connect((ESP_IP,ESP_PORT))
print('Socket Connected to ' + ESP_IP )

try:
    print("Send command")
    client.send(bytes("\x01\x04\x00\x00\x00\x0A\x70\x0D", 'ascii'))
    print("Receive data")
    data = client.recv(1024)
    print(data)
    
except socket.error as e:
    print(e)

The PZEM-module reacts to this (Rx LED goes on, followed by Tx-LED), but not receiving data back.
