It would not quit, though, so in the end it did what I wanted

You need to change the api, not the middleware. Middleware is a
feature of the vz api. Never tried though.<br>

Sorry, I don't get your point, maybe I'm slow? Why change the API or
the middleware? Would that not simply be a change in vzlogger
behavior independent on how the API or the middleware looks
like/works?<br></div></blockquote><div><br></div></span><div>check etc/vzlogger.conf and search for 'protocol'. vzlogger supports other protocols than volkszahler/middleware, that is e.g. mysmartgrid. You probably need to check the source code if there is an "null" protocol. If you need one feel free to open an issue in github.<br></div><div>Note: these are different from <a href="http://wiki.volkszaehler.org/software/controller/vzlogger#meters_protocols" target="_blank">http://wiki.volkszaehler.org/software/controller/vzlogger#meters_protocols</a> which are on the reading, not the writing side.

My idea was to tell the vzlogger daemon <i>not</i> to send the
meter readings anywhere, just to collect them. I would then query
vzlogger via the internal microhttpd for the current readings...<br></div></blockquote><div><br></div></span><div>Exactly.
