Sometimes I have found that using FireFox for finding the CSS Selector provides a little bit of a cleaner selector that Chrome. Chrome tends to put some extra items in there that can cause issues for Beautiful Soup and other scraping tools.
This is for Residential Heating “Distribution Energy Charge” for the Boston Area so the table and selector should be the same however my price would be wrong.
table.table:nth-child(10) > tbody:nth-child(2) > tr:nth-child(2) > td:nth-child(2)
Anyone else receive an email that Eversource will be switching out meters to new “Smart Meters”? Curious to see what kind of protocol this will use and if we’ll be able to tap into the smartness via HA.
Yeah, seems like it’s going to take a few years, though.
I went the rtl_433 route and have been able to read my meters that way.
Is this still working for you using multiscrape? I just set this up and for some reason the rate1 info is showing unavailable, but the peak rate and dates are updating.
which model meter do you have? I am trying to figure out if I could rtl_433 mine.
Not sure how to find that out exactly, but the electric meter has the brands “Centron” and “Itron” mentioned on it. Gas meter says “elster”.
So your saying you were able to connect to the newer smart meter and pull data? It’s not locked down at all?
I just installed solar and both meters are the newer smart meters, but I figured they would be encrypted or locked down.
I was just going to get CT clamps for the mains to monitor both directions.
No, I use the rtl_433 method for the old meters. I’m not familiar with how the new smart meters they’re rolling out work.
