Electric Meter Setup

Configuration
1

Good evening community!

I have an electric meter that I’m bringing over using rtl_sdr and importing via MQTT to HA. However, I’m getting an “unknown” on the state of the sensor after creating it. Here is the information… what am I doing wrong?

- platform: mqtt state_topic: "metermon/28301694" name: "Electric Meter Reading" value_template: "{{ value_json.Consumption }}" qos: 0 unit_of_measurement: "kWh" device_class: "energy"

Here is the raw JSON from MQTT.

{"Protocol": "SCM", "Type": "Electric", "ID": "28301694", "Consumption": 24166.45, "Unit": "kWh"}

Any help would be appreciated!

Figured it out shortly after posting this. Apparently I was missing two entries from my Docker setup for the metermon container.

  - RTLAMR_UNIQUE=true
  - METERMON_SEND_RAW=false
  - METERMON_SEND_BY_ID=false
