I see no reason why it should not work. But since you already have pi there it might be easier to write a reader there and send parsed data to LM via http. Or use ser2net via tcp, there are many examples here on how to use tcp client.

No you can't use RS232 direct as the signal of the P1 port is TTL so you need a TTL converter in any case, i always use (advise) this USB cable where the converter is build-in:

ok thanks, the problem is the smart meter is around 100m from the logic machine, no wifi signal either. I have a spare cat6 connection there. Would it work if i hookup the P1 to the RJ45 cat 6, patch it to the outlet near the LM and than use this converter?

No, that will never work over that distance as the P1 is a serial port, the only way to do this in your scenario is by using the Plugwise Smile P1 and conmnect it to the IP network with the spare cat6 cable you have.

not a big fan of plugwise because i don't want to connect to their cloud. But Can i get all the data as the script is only fairly limited on the datapoints.

This device can be used as a cloud solution but is not needed to config it like that, the device just reads the P1 data and exposes it as a .xml that can be read locally from the device..
The data is not limited by the plugwise, as this is a sample of the full DSMR data set:
