Scraping my electric provider's rates, Eversource in New England

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.
