DSMR Reader Add-on for Home Assistant

sanderdw · January 17, 2022, 2:45pm

First you need to check if DSMR and MQTT are configured correctly. An app like http://mqtt-explorer.com/ could help you with this.

Is there a possibilty you could add the option to add DSMR Reader to the side bar like other addons have as well?

If you are accessiing HA over http you can use a iframe Panel - Home Assistant

rednas · January 18, 2022, 8:38am

I am accessing HA over https, so that’s not an option unfortunately.
Is that also a problem when adding it to the side bar by adding it to the addon, or not?

Ingress would be the best way to do this but i’m struggling a bit how this should be set-up, see my last comment in this issue: Reverse proxy support · Issue #24 · sanderdw/hassio-addons · GitHub

If I understand there are 3 possibilities to get the dsmr data:

via the integration: https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/dsmr
via dsmr_reader: https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/dsmr_reader/
via this addon: https://github.com/sanderdw/hassio-addons

What is the difference between these? Advantages/disadvantages?

sanderdw · January 18, 2022, 10:20pm

The first one is indeed a separate solution, which works on it’s own. Downside is that you don’t get all the features the DSMR Reader is providing: About DSMR-reader — DSMR-reader v4 documentation

The second option is in fact an addition to this addon (see step 12 in hassio-addons/dsmr_reader at master · sanderdw/hassio-addons · GitHub). This addon by itself don’t integrate any ‘sensors’ into HA. So use them in a combination .

Ok, can’t help you with that unfortunately, but I hope you can find a solution soon!

Hi Rednas, could you explain what you did to solve so that the pluging doesn’t restart everytime? Mine is also crashing al the time and the webinterface is not reachable.

rednas · February 2, 2022, 12:18pm

I had to disable the default platform: dsmr as it’s not able to use the same USB port together.

Who is willing to test the 1.0.0 beta release which includes DSMR Reader 5.0?
I want to be sure it’s properly tested first before putting it into production.

You will need to uninstall the repository version and manually download and install this beta version.
You can download the new version here: https://github.com/sanderdw/hassio-addons/tree/v5

On the v5 branch download the zip file of the repository (Code → Download ZIP)
From the zip file, place only the dsmr_reader folder in \\yourhomeassistant\addons
Go to the addons page and remove the 0.7.4 version (remember your settings).
On the addons page go to the ADD-ON STORE
On the top right right press the 3 dots and “Check for updates”
You should see DSMR Reader appearing under local addons
Install and reconfigure (options are changed)

Please report here if there are any issue’s, questions.

Thanks!

2022-02-23: 1.0.0 DSMR Reader Add-on v1.0.0, check changelog before upgrading
Changelog here

nelbs · February 14, 2022, 7:59am

updated and everything works fine

Alfagek · February 14, 2022, 4:11pm

Working great @sanderdw. Not even needed to reset settings. Only put my usb back to usb-by-name.

Only is it posible to stop the log flooding with the “http get” command in the plugin log?

sanderdw · February 14, 2022, 6:21pm

Good to hear. I would advice to reset the settings though to make sure you don’t get any problems in the future.

I will have a look at the logging issue indeed.
Edit: It’s going to be in DSMR 5.1, see (dutch though) https://github.com/xirixiz/dsmr-reader-docker/issues/268#issuecomment-1039550259

Same experience here, couldn’t get the add-on running for long since v.0.73, but this version is working like a charm.

2xdehelft · February 17, 2022, 12:48pm

I have an issue I’m running into… Since yesterday I have migrated DSMR from PI to Homeassistant addon and it is running great.

Now i’ve changed my energy contract prices and want to recalculate the prices. I can SSH to Homeassistant and open a SSH session to the docker image with “docker exec -it addon_0826754b_dsmr_reader bash”

DSMR manual tells me to run this command:

sudo su - dsmr
./manage.py dsmr_stats_recalculate_prices

But this is not possible. it gives errors like “env: ‘python3’: No such file or directory”

How can i recalculate the prices?

sanderdw · February 17, 2022, 1:23pm

First get into the addon container:

docker exec -it addon_0826754b_dsmr_reader bash

Then set the Home Assistant configuration:

. /etc/cont-init.d/01-set-hassio-vars

En then you execute DSMR commands:

python manage.py dsmr_stats_recalculate_prices
