Excellent. I found this thread just as I was going to write my own. I’ve written several integrations to pull energyeasy data for local storage/display, as well as uploading to pvoutput. Will come back in a day or two - just installing the powerpal addon first (new to HA).
I’ve had this working for a while but EnergyEasy portal now shutdown and myEnergy is the replacement.
Anybody had any luck getting it working? I cannot get the login to work yet - still trying to trace logins on their portal but struggling to crack this.

same here, im in perth and interested too.
Any luck? I would be very interested in getting this integrated to Home Assistant.
Hey Tom, do you have a guide on how to get this data from Synergy? Thanks
hi, here is the python script i wrote to scrape the data from Synergy GitHub - TomW1605/synergyPowerScraper
unfortunately it is always a bit behind, up to 2 days, and there is no current way to add historical data to HA. when i ran into this issue i stopped pursuing it and think the only way to get this data into ha will be some sort of active monitoring device.
sorry i couldent help more
Yeah it’s generally 12-24 hrs behind, sometimes 48 hrs on weekend or random days.
I tended to run my script once a day - generally at 6pm, and that will be mean I am at least 1 day behind.
did you find a way to get it into HA with the correct timestamps? i gave up because as far as im concerned if the total import/export numbers dont match up time wise with the other data im collecting then whats the point
Well actually I haven’t attempted to get the data into HA, and rekindled my interest today. I’m still using my old python scripts that just run once a day, dump data into a database, and then using google charts to show the graphs. I merge the data with my growatt inverter readings so I end up with import, export and generated all in the one graph which is nice. I do some bill estimation too based on averages etc.
If I do end up making any progress on it in HA I’ll let you know.
thanks, would love to hear how you go. unfortunatly i dont think you will gerrt very far but it might have changed in the year or 2 since i last tired
Hi!
Has anyone attempted connecting HA on PowerCor’s network?
I’ve got an i-Credit 500 meter and would like to try and connect to it via my Skyconnect Zigbee gateway on my Raspberry Pi.
I’ve been searching for any others that have tried this but haven’t found anything yet.
PowerCor have this IHD application form on their website, but i’m not quite sure if i can use a generic energy integration or how i go about it in HA.

Any help is much appreciated!
Well the latest synergy account upgrade now requires an SMS to login, I think they’ve effectively killed any automated access to it now.
that sucks. is there a keep me logged in option or a default long time out? if so we might be able to do something with cookies where you login through the browser then save the cookie and the script can use that for access. but if it logs you out after 10 mins i dont think that will be practical either. (i cant test since my number is not on the account)
hmmm possible. Haven’t really explored that. It definitely expires, unsure after how long yet.

Am I right to assume that there is still no way to pull data from United Energy via their new MyEnergy platform?
At this point I’m temped to sign up with Ovo simply so I can get access… It’s the main hurdle to me cutting over to HA full time - I’m not going through whatever is required to get all my devices across natively (I don’t even know what this entails anymore, this are changing more frequently than I can keep up with), until I can get my energy data into HA…
I might revisit the Powerpal Bluetooth route again - I don’t quite know what I’m doing here though so I don’t know where I’m going wrong - was where it got to last time. I seem to have killed a NodeMCU in the process of attempting it as well, not that there’s a shortage of them in my house… I thought I had my head wrapped around using them as easily configurable smart devices, but truth is I just don’t get it. It honestly feels like the world moved on and left me behind!

Hi all
I’ve had a Rainforest Automation Eagle 3 happily paired to my United Energy smart meter for the past 2 months with no issues until now.
It appears the device has been disconnected from the metre, has anyone had any long term connectivity issues using this product?
It’s been absolutely rock solid until now.
ok, its extreemly hacky, but i got this working. basically you need to give the script the login details for you email account (or in my case, i made a dedicated one for this and changed the address in my synergy account) and then the script can trigger synergy to send the email token, get the token from the email and then make all the requests to get the data.
i still haven’t gotten it into HA but i’m thinking i should be able to use this to get the data in (since it is always a day old)
im struggling a bit on how to do the actual integration part but i think that’s more just i don’t understand the program structure that is required.
also, i found out a few things when making this. for one, if you use the wrong combo of service address and email address more than 3 times it locks you out for the rest of the day.

when you log into the site, at the step where it asks for your address, open your browsers dev tools and go to the network tab. one of the requests will have your email/phone number as well as your premise_id.
