Getting British Gas Smart Meter Energy Statistics into Home Assistant

kncowans · January 1, 2026, 2:24pm

Hello all

I Hope you are Well.

I have been using Home Assistant Green for a Week now and everything is Working Great.

Regarding Energy Monitoring, is it possible to get the Energy Statistics from the SMETS 2 Smart Meters?

My Energy Provider is British Gas.

I have a Smart Meter for both the Electric and Gas and the Smart Monitor in the Living Room is the Geo.

Thanks in advance

Kevin

I’m not using these meters, but is this thread any help? SMETS2 Smart Meter Install BY Octopus Energy North East UK

Hello

Thanks for the Reply.

Unfortunately, I do not think this will Help me.

Home Assistant seems to have a Component Built In for Octopus Energy but there is not one for British Gas.

Thanks though

It’s been a while since I set my British Gas feed up for HA but it does work.

I seem to recall you need to register for a Bright account

And then you can use the Hildebrand Glow (DCC) integration with HA to get the Electric and Gas Feeds.

Thanks

Hello

Thanks for the Reply.

Well, I Created an Account for Bright then Installed the Integration.

The Integration is Showing in Home Assistant, but, how do I see the Statistics?

Thanks in advance

Hello

I think I have sorted it.

I had to Setup in the App by entering Details regarding the Smart Monitor.

Home Assistant is now showing Entities but no Data, yet, it says it could take upro 24 Hours, so…

Thanks for your Help, it is appreciated.

No problem. Pleased you got sorted.
It does take a while for the data to update. Once it’s running you can feed it direct into the Energy dashboard.

I think some of the sensors are also disabled. You need to enable them for the rate then you can do the costs etc…

Hello

Sorry for Bothering you.

Well, it has been 3 Days since I set this up and I have very limited Stats as seen here:

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance
