LightwaveRF electricity monitor compatibility

Hi,

I have one of these https://www.lightwaverf.com/sensors/8410830471 (generation 1) but it’s not being automatically discovered. Does anyone know how to get it working with HA?

Many thanks,

Ico

It’s not directly supported currently and therefore will never be auto discovered, so you’d need to find a way to integrate this yourself if you want the readings pushed into HA sensors.

There’s a few different ways to get LWRF switches working, but I don’t think many people actually have the power sensor and I’ve never seen anyone ask/try to do anything with it.

There are implementations on the internet you could use as a basis to understand the UDP messages sent from the power monitor to the LWRF wifi hub, but this would require some effort to put into python or shell scripts to get workable sensors.

Thank you. I no longer have the LW hub as all the switches and lights are running directly from HA with the RFX transceiver. I’m not technical enough nor inclined to delve into the detail of the power monitor comms to take this forward unfortunately.
