Same here. Loads of data in ST 1 number in HA. Wt£?
I also have only energy meter reading passed to HA from SmartThing but not gas data… Seems this is a limitation of the SmartThings API ;(
What I’ve done to get the energy usage, is to create derivative sensor to get the usage and then created a utility meter to calculate usages:
Derivative from SmartThings integration:
- platform: derivative
name: "Current Electricity Usage (kW)"
source: sensor.bulb_energy_meter_energy_meter
Utility Meter:
utility_meter:
hourly_energy:
name: "Hourly Energy Consumption"
source: sensor.bulb_energy_meter_energy_meter
cycle: hourly
daily_energy:
name: "Daily Energy Consumption"
source: sensor.bulb_energy_meter_energy_meter
cycle: daily
weekly_energy:
name: "Weekly Energy Consumption"
source: sensor.bulb_energy_meter_energy_meter
cycle: weekly
monthly_energy:
name: "Monthly Energy Consumption"
source: sensor.bulb_energy_meter_energy_meter
cycle: monthly
Current usage:
- platform: template
sensors:
current_electricity_usage_w:
friendly_name: "Current Electricity Usage"
unit_of_measurement: 'W'
icon_template: mdi:flash
value_template: "{{ (states('sensor.current_electricity_usage_kw')|float * 1000)}}"
Daily usage:
- platform: template
sensors:
daily_electricity_cost:
friendly_name: "Daily Electricity Usage Cost"
unit_of_measurement: '£'
icon_template: mdi:cash
value_template: "{{ ((states('sensor.daily_energy')|float * 0.1608) + 0.1979)|round(2)}}"
Please note that 0.1608 is the price per kWh and 0.1979 is the daily standing charge. Adjust for weekly, monthly
Hope that helps a bit at least for energy.
I would love to see gas meter reading passed to HA

awesome
thank you!
how did you work out these 2 values from your statement sorry?
did you take the 2 values and divde by 24?
mine are
Energy 948 kWh @ 14.11 p/kWh £ 133.77
Standing charge 31 days @ 19.06 p/day £ 5.91
It will say on your statement, I took them form my In Home Display, but you also have them when you login onto your online Bulb account…I have just checked…they upped the standing charge… I will have to adjust mine to:
Unit rate:16.08p per kWh
Standing charge: 20.09p per day
So I calculated in my case then:
Weekly then should be 0.20097= £1.4063 per week
Monthly: (1.406352) / 12 = £6.0639 per month

Sorry to jump in on this! Do you create the above all in the configuration file?
Yes you create in the config file.
Has anyone checked if they have an open api that could be used for an integration? If Smartthings can get it, likely HA/Nabu Casa could get it with the right documentation/information/interest.
How would you do this for day/night rates? Thanks
There is this integration that could work to go via Glowmarkt API on the link below. There is a mobile app called Bright from Glowmarkt which works with Bulb meters. I just haven’t had time to have a look in-depth and try out this HA integration. Maybe somebody can try it out.
https://docs.glowmarkt.com/GlowmarktApiDataRetrievalDocumentationIndividualUser.pdf
It does’nt work standalone you need to buy one of these https://shop.glowmarkt.com/ which were out of stock for ages and are about £70. Frankly for me I really want to know hourly, weekly and monthly cost of energy no so bothered about instantaneous. So what you have already done is perfect if I could just break the night/day rate down. I’m not too familiar with how to achieve this but sure it would be easy (if I knew how 
). THanks
Another vote for this one.
The only electricity sensor data available via SmartThings for the Bulb energy meter is [sensor.bulb_energy_meter_energy_meter] which is the cumulative total kWh of all energy consumed (along with a time stamp) since the meter was installed. I’ve created some nice Graphs in Grafana using First and Last selectors and Range to calculate Energy within the given Time range from InfluxDB.
However the Bulb Smart Energy meter also shows real-time Power consumption in W. I wonder is this a sensor value hidden from Home Assistant that SmartThings have some how got access to via their collaboration with Bulb, OR is it derived from a kWh to kW conversion P (kW) = E (kWh) / t (h) and therefore still using the same kWh sensor data.
It’s surprising there is only kWh Energy reading available in HA where-as SmartThings is able to display the kW Power too. I’ve looked in the SmartThings API console as well and can’t see any additional sensor data beyond kWh.
Anyone had any more success on this? I may just give in an install another Power monitor to get additional data.

let me know what you do if you go down the “ther power monitor” route
It seems the sensor this Smart Things integration creates e.g. sensor.smart_meter_electricity can be plugged directly in to Home Assistant’s new energy monitoring dashboard?
This sensor was previously not very useful as it’s just an ever-growing value of energy consumption (not sure how often it resets):
I had it on my list to set this sensor up with the Utility Meter integration as some have done above but unless I’m missing something, this is no longer necessary.
Although there’s no option for setting a “cycle” Home Assistant seems to be turning the sensor data into something accurate and useful:
Since it looks like the Smart Things integration provides both electricity and gas (if I had a smart gas meter) I’m not sure what additional data should be sent.
Perhaps this feature is “done”? Happy to be corrected!

Yes it seems to be nearly ideal. It needs a day and night rate which I understand needs to be done through templates but i’ve no idea how to do that. Hopefully a future release will allow for different rates.
Awesome work, will have a play with this later today!
note: I have BOTH gas and electric
however GAS doesnt seem to be working
Hello. I recently noticed that may SMET 1 (originally installed by OVO) started comunicate live with bulb website therefore I believe that there must be a way to pull data from website and integrate it with HA to show daily /monthly usage. Could Axiom tool read data from webpage ? Automated login and data reader script … ?? Any volunteers to test it ?

Hi cjattard
Did use the Smart things integration, then add the YAML afterwards?
Cheers
