Hello everyone,
I wanted to share my recent success in integrating my Landis+Gyr UH50 device with Home Assistant. After struggling with a custom Python script on my Raspberry Pi, I stumbled upon AppDaemon and it changed everything!
For those who might be facing similar challenges, here’s a quick rundown of my journey:
- Initial Setup: I had to use an IR Converter Cable to connect my UH50 to my Raspberry Pi. It was a bit tricky, but once connected, everything fell into place.
- AppDaemon Script: I adapted a script from a Dutch forum (linked in my original post) to extract my heat usage data. While it worked, I knew there was room for improvement.
- Official Integration: Fast forward to now, and I’m thrilled to announce that there’s now an official Home Assistant integration for Landis+Gyr Heat Meter! It’s seamless and much more reliable than my DIY setup.
Tips for Others:
- If you’re using an older setup, consider upgrading to the official integration for better stability and support.
- Don’t forget to configure your IR Converter Cable properly—it was the key to getting everything working smoothly.
- If you’re new to AppDaemon, start simple and gradually add more features as you get comfortable.
I’d love to hear from others who have successfully integrated their Landis+Gyr devices. What challenges did you face, and how did you overcome them? Let’s keep the conversation going!
Happy automating!
Best regards,
