Just installed ha-hildebrandglow-dcc v0.6.0 (on Home Assistant 2022.4.6) and it doesn’t seem to work.
I cannot find it under the integrations/add Integration but it shows working under HACS (yes restarted).
I can see all the files under custom_components folder.
Any ideas what to try to get it working?
This is most likely a browser caching issue and is tucked away in HACS’ documentation: Integrations | HACS.
Clearing your browser cache should make it appear 
I do have the Chameleon IDH3 instead of the 6, and Smart Things has a "Smart Meter " device by Chameleon. I tried to add it, it asked me for my address and an invoice and it says it will be set up in 48h. I imagine it’s trivial to get the data from Smart Things into Home Assistant (I’m installing Home Assistant as we speak, for the first time)
This works for me to. It is then possible to get the usage data into Home Assistant from Geo’s API.
However I have found the Trio a bit flakey. It’s online on my network (can ping it all the time), but often fails to send data to Geo.
I’ve been using a rest sensor :

Replace USERNAME, PASSWORD, and SYSTEMID with your details. (I can’t remember how I got SYSTEMID … its in one of the responses to the api)
Thanks for this - improvement over what I was using in that it includes the current price. Fantastic!
By the way, instructions for getting the system ID are in post 102 in this thread.
Hey @Scoff
Thanks for the details in this post!
I’ve got the bright app set up but I’m struggling to find the integration for glow - can you point me in the right direction?
Thanks!
Hey @vaderag
No problem, you can install the glow integration via HACS - here’s the github link which I think is also further up in this thread somewhere!
That should get you up and running
Changing my question to something actually useful other than RTFM
Now that I have the data into HA, I see I can add the entity’s tracking total costs to the Energy tab, but I’m missing a statistic - I’ve scanned the thread and I don’t think I see anyone mentioning how they did this - anyone advise?
Thanks - just installed HACS (was on my list anyway) but oddly still not seeing it (with any search)
Sorry if this is a n00b question - do I somehow need to add the github repository to HACS - I’m assuming it should be there given a ton of others are?
EDIT: Nevermind, would help if i read the link you posted
setup Hildebrand Glow integrations with smart metre some time ago - only a few days get an hourly reading - there are plenty of gaps when HA doesn’t get any information about kwh used at all. Anyway of improving this - would a better smart metre be best.
Hildebrand Glow are about to launch a SMETS2 compatible non-display CAD device, which will be great for those who don’t really want an extra display around the house.
What is very interesting is that they explain on the page that the reason that the SMETS1 version of the CAD doesn’t work with SMETS2 is because it only has ‘SMETS1 certificates’ on the device. I assume what they mean here is that the firmware only has the encryption keys/generators to connect to a SMETS1 HAN.
Presumably all that’s needed to enable access to the Zigbee data directly from the meter HAN itself is knowledge of the network keys used for that particular Zigbee network and the key exchange mechanism used to join the ‘IHD’ to the network. I’m sure there is some reverse engineering that could be done here to create a Zigbee dongle that could spoof being an IHD and join the network.
Hey! Can i confirm that the CAD only (no IHD) allows for 10 second updates via the cloud MQTT to home assistant? So i could have a display on my dashboard showing current usage?
Thanks for updating this and to all who have added to this. I need to find time to convert it into a proper integration.
After trying to update my setup recently, I’ve broken it and I can’t work out why. This is my current config.

But in the energy dashobard, it’s not seeing the usage. Can anyone spot the mistake I’ve made?
Any idea when will the SMETS2 CAD be available?
Im finding that the data from the glow API integration is pretty unreliable - see gaps in data below - so would definitely prefer to get 10sec data via MQTT.
I dont need a new IHD though - existing geo trio 2 works OK.
Would really love to know the answer to the MQTT question myself. I currently have Tasmota running on a Wemos D1 mini with a PZEM monitoring the electricity usage, but no way to get the gas usage. Getting the Hildebrand CAD and having 10 second granular updates of gas and electricity would be great…
I’ve recently had a Smets2 meter installed (with Bulb), and am using the Hildebrand integration. Seems to work fine.
I’ve made some updates to this to add extra sensors etc and posted the results over on this thread which is more GEO focused https://community.home-assistant.io/t/geo-home-smart-meter-integration/379789/37
