Hey everyone! I’m currently working on a new integration for the Kostal KSEM smart meter and the Enector wallbox in Home Assistant.
This project has been quite an adventure, and I wanted to share my journey with you all.
First off, I stumbled upon this GitHub repository (KSEM Integration) which seemed like the perfect starting point. The integration allows for seamless communication between the KSEM meter and Home Assistant, providing real-time energy consumption data and enabling smart charging of electric vehicles through the Enector wallbox.
However, the setup wasn’t without its challenges. I encountered a few hiccups along the way, particularly with the initial configuration and ensuring that all data points were correctly mapped. After some trial and error, I managed to get everything up and running smoothly.
One feature I’m particularly excited about is the ability to monitor both energy consumption and charging status in a single dashboard. This integration has not only enhanced my home’s energy management capabilities but has also given me a deeper understanding of my energy usage patterns.
If anyone has experience with similar integrations or has suggestions for improving this setup, I’d love to hear from you! Your feedback could be invaluable as I continue to refine this project.
Thanks for reading, and happy automating! ![]()
