/*
 * Simple sketch to read MBus data from electrical meter
 * As the protocol requires "Even" parity, and this is
 * only supported on the hardware port of the ESP8266,
 * we'll have to use Serial1 for debugging.
 * 
 * This means you'll have to program the ESP using the 
 * regular RX/TX port, and then you must remove the FTDI
 * and connect the MBus signal from the meter to the
 * RS pin. The FTDI/RX can be moved to Pin2 for debugging
