I’m living in Ireland and I was wondering if there is other people here to share experiences in the journey of Smart Homes.
I hope I will start a new project (new smart home soon) and I would like to share any info we can about best practices in Ireland. My idea is to use Shelly devices for example and ESPHome.
Hi I am also living in Ireland (Tipperary) and am interested in using Home Assistant personally, and also related to my work (for a UK organisation which uses Home Assistant). Particularly interested in attempts to connect Home Assistant with ESB network smart meters - I can see some activity here Reddit - Dive into anything but not sure how to implement this.
And Seán’s google list resulted in a first online meetup last night.
There were 7 people there, but it’s a start!
@ElaineBaker - I’m in Meath and have been using a Frient Electricity Meter Interface for two years now with no problems to report. It’s the LED version rather than the P1 port version, because ESB haven’t activated the port yet.
That’s great @niallb I would love to learn how to do that with my own smart meter. Would be able to give me some pointers or step by step instructions?
