Ohmconnect integration

Has anyone been able to integrate OhmConnect with HA?
I followed the directions here (OhmConnect - Home Assistant) and modified my configuration.yaml file and restarted HA. However, I don’t see OhmConnect in the list in “Add Integration”.

The OhmConnect integration cannot be configured from the UI, so you shouldn’t see it in that list. However, it should have added an entity - something like sensor.ohmconnect_status.

Ondra, thank you for the the tip. I see sensor.ohmconnect_status in the entities list. Do you know how to setup from here to monitor/display energy consumption? When I go to Configuration → Energy → Electric Grid (Add Consumption) → Configure Grid Consumption drop-down, I don’t see ohmconnect in the entity list there. Thanks!

I do NOT think this sensor provides the total energy consumption. If it does, you could add this to your customize.yaml:

sensor.ohmconnect_status:
  state_class: total_increasing

From looking at the source code, it only seems to return Active or Inactive (as a string for some reason, instead of being a binary_sensor) as well as 2 attributes: Address and ID. None of these is energy consumption. You can verify that in developer tools:
Open your Home Assistant instance and show your state developer tools.
