Hey everyone! I just wanted to share a quick update on my smart home journey. I’ve been working on integrating my Youless energy module into Home Assistant, and it’s been a fantastic learning experience. For those who might be interested, I managed to read out the water meter data using the Rest API integration. Here’s how I did it:
yaml
rest:
scan_interval: 60
resource: http://<youless_module_IP>/e
sensor:
- name: “Water Meter”
value_template: “{{value_json[0].wtr * 1000}}”
unit_of_measurement: “L”
device_class: water
state_class: total
This setup has been working perfectly for me, and I thought I’d save others some time by sharing it. If you’re looking to monitor your water usage, this could be a great starting point!
On another note, I recently came across a cool 3D-printable corner bracket for the TrackMix. It’s designed to hide wires and protect the camera connections. I’ve been using it for a while now, and it’s been a lifesaver for keeping my setup clean and organized. You can find the design here. It’s a small community contribution, but it makes a big difference!
I’d love to hear if anyone else has found innovative ways to integrate their devices or has tips for optimizing their smart home setup. Let’s keep sharing and learning together!
