How to install DSMR

Configuration
1

Hi there,

I’m new to Home Assistant. Istalled it yesterday, succesfully added my Zigbee devices. Now I’m looking into adding my DSMR ‘slimme meter’, to be able to monitor my energy usage. I didn’t find the integration via the Integrations menu. But this seems to be normal, apparently the DSMR integration does not support that yet.

I found this page. I added the configuration mentioned there to my configuration.yaml. I happen to have a Kaifa MA105 meter installed in my house, and according to the table on this page, I should use DSMR version 4 for that one. The meter is connected to /dev/ttyUSB0, so I changed that too in the config.

But… nothing is happening. There appears a section on my overview dashboard, saying Enitity not available for all 5 members I added to the group, according to the documentation.

My questions:

  • I did not install anything. Is the DSMR integration already installed by default? Or will it be magically installed whenenver dsmr is mentioned in the configuration.yaml?
  • It would be helpful to be able to see some logging to see if the DSMR integration is trying to do anything, perhaps see what’s going wrong. Is there a way to see logging for a specific integration?

Probably, these are stupid beginners questions. However, I wasn’t able to find any documentation about manually installing integrations that can’t be found via the Integrations menu. Any help would be appreciated!

Best regards,
Bart

Ah, apparently a restart did the trick. After a restart, the DSMR integration suddenly appeared in the supervisor, and values started to appear on the overview page.
