It looks like there are a handful or so of similar topics on this subject but not many of them are recent, and the most recent ones are not helping much in getting this working for me.
I have a DTE Energy Bridge v2 with recent firmware that exposes current energy use over MQTT, here is an example of the output:
~ ❯❯❯ mosquitto_sub -h 192.168.1.113 -p 2883 -t ‘event/metering/instantaneous_demand/#’
{“time”:1660906268417,“demand”:789}
{“time”:1660906271407,“demand”:785}
{“time”:1660906274408,“demand”:787}
How do i get this into HomeAssistant for my Energy Dashboard? Id like to see the “demand” variable used in HomeAssistant to show my energy usage by the hour at the very least.
I’ve been experimenting with some different configuration.yaml settings from various old topics and github threads with no luck.
Apologies if my question is rather noob-ish, I’m only recently starting to get into integrating all of my smart appliances into my HomeAssistant instance and this type of integration is totally new to me. (This is actually the last of my devices i haven’t integrated yet)
Thank you in advance, any help would be greatly appreciated!
