Hello -
I’m using rtlamr2mqtt to read my smart meter, and it’s working great. The add-on reports the current kWh from the meter and then presumably the energy usage dashboard is subtracting the current reading from the previous to give that hour’s usage.
My question is: Where can I grab that hourly value from to send out via MQTT?
thanks!
Hi @forty2, Energy dashboard does not provide that. You will have to add Utility Meter sensor, set energy sensor from rtlamr2mqtt as the source and configure it w/ hourly reset cycle.
BTW, it’s usage not “useage”.
Cheers!

Brilliant, thanks for the lead!
