Yeah added it there now, waiting my 24 hrs 
You shouldnāt need to wait 24 hours (unless you just signed up to Meridian), rather there can be a lag in the data coming through. Can you share an energy dashboard settings screenshot?
Hi
Sanjay here. I am based in West Auckland and bit of Automation hobbyist myself. Was going through the posts on here and found couple of ideas that would like to put in place. I have moved to new house couple of years now and I have some previous sonoff wall switch that I am not use in the new house due the to socket space in the wall. I am planning to sell them if anyone in here is interested. There are few one, two and three channel ones. They are flashed with tasmota firware and i will reset itā¦

That should be working for you. Which plan are you on? I may need to grab some more details. I am on the EV plan.
Sorry for the delay, EVERYDAY ECONOMY FIXED RATE PLAN according to my latest bill.
Can we get the values as sensors, so we can show them in apex charts, etc?

Iām not sure about that, sorry. The integration creates statistics entities which go in behind the scenes back dated because we donāt have real time data to track.
Thanks for your efforts in creating this. I seem to have an issue with the add-on failing because we have some cancelled accounts with Contact (used to have gas).
Iāve logged it here for you.
Cheers, Tim
Hi Cody,
Thanks for the great integration. I am also getting zero values in my contact energy setup in HA. I am however a little confused about which sensors I should be using? Please see below for my current setup.
Also see these errors in the logs:

I have confirmed that my credentials in the configuration.yaml file work logging into the contact webpage. On the Fuel Rewards Freedom Plan.
Any help would be great. Thanks.
I now have the same errors with āFailed to fetch usage dataā¦ā - I turned on debug logging for this component and now see that Iām getting a ā502 Bad Gatewayā - so something @codyc1515 will need to investigate I suspect.

Make that 4, plus a couple of guys at work are using HA.
anyone got āEnergy Onlineā, Formally Frank data?
Can you open their website and see if they expose an API via āLog Network Activityā within Edge\Chrome?
I learnt about this yesterday with Contact (Iām not a developer, just curious) and found out more about their API.
buggered if I know what iām looking for, iāll read up some more
Essentially youāre trying to decipher the urlās that the customer facing website is accessing.
Since posting the above Iāve learnt that itās far easier to use a tool called Postman that you can use in conjunction with their browser plugin to capture exactly what is happening when you access their normal customer website.
You end up with the urls needed to access your data and the data it returns in JSON formatā¦ this is valid for any website you want to get data off for Home Assistant.

epic, awesome that all worked after a bit of a learning curve NOW, how to use it,

If it is a single URL you want to repeatably get data from then something like the Curl integration or the RESTful integration you should be able to use for your own instance.
Perhaps something likeā¦
sensor: - platform: command_line name: Get Frank Energy Sensor command: 'curl -X GET https://api.frankenergy.co.nz/usage' value_template: '{{ value_json.key }}'
If you click the </> code button in Postman it spits out the curl command you requireā¦
Obviously people like @codyc1515 have taken that information and written a Python add-on which many others can then use.

After 7 weeks I finally got my Ioniq 5 back (faulty BMS) so Iām back into trying to get the SoC into Home Assistant. I first tried reading the results from my existing OBDLink CX via BLE but didnāt have much luck. In the end I ordered one of the Wican devices from Mouser, I ordered it on the 20th and it arrived today (to Christchurch) for NZ$70 including shipping with Fedex. Iāve only had about an hour to play with it but I have the basics working, I used the instructions from here. One comment is that youāll probably want to use an extension cord to hide the device under the dash, itās a lot taller than my OBDLink and sits above the accelerator so Iām a bit worried about kicking it when getting in and out of the car.
Edit: I just noticed youāre already in that thread!

Yeah, how are you getting on getting anything other than PID 91 out of it?
