Hi everyone, I wanted to share my recent success in integrating my Landis+Gyr Type E360 REVELO-SD smart meter with Home Assistant. I’ve been on a bit of a journey with this, but I’m thrilled to finally have everything working smoothly!
About two weeks ago, I got my smart meter installed, and I was eager to start tracking my energy usage. However, I quickly realized that finding the right integration was going to be a bit of a challenge. After some research and a bit of trial and error, I stumbled upon the right configuration that made everything click.
For anyone else looking to integrate their Landis+Gyr meter, I’d recommend checking out the dsmr integration in Home Assistant. It’s incredibly straightforward once you have the right setup. I used a P1 cable to connect my meter to my Raspberry Pi and configured the dsmr.yaml file with the appropriate settings. Here’s a quick breakdown of what I did:
- Hardware Setup: I connected the P1 cable to my Raspberry Pi’s USB port. It was crucial to ensure the cable was recognized by the system, so I double-checked the ttyUSB1 port in the terminal.
- Configuration: I created a dsmr.yaml file under the config/sensor directory with the following settings:
yaml
sensor:
- platform: dsmr
port: /dev/ttyUSB1
dsmr_version: 5
group: meter_readings:
name: Meter Readings
entities:
- sensor.energy_consumption_tarif_1
- sensor.energy_consumption_tarif_2
- sensor.energy_production_tarif_1
- sensor.energy_production_tarif_2
- sensor.gas_consumption
- Integration: I included this configuration in my configuration.yaml file and restarted Home Assistant. After a few minutes, I could see all my meter readings neatly organized in the dashboard.
One thing I noticed during the setup was the importance of checking the logs for any errors. Initially, I encountered a few issues with duplicate sensor entries, but clearing out the old configurations and ensuring a clean setup resolved those problems.
Now that everything is up and running, I’m impressed by how much insight I have into my energy consumption. Being able to monitor different tariffs and gas usage in real time is incredibly useful for optimizing my energy habits.
If anyone else is struggling with their smart meter integration, I’d be happy to help troubleshoot or share more detailed steps. It’s a fantastic feeling to have all this data at my fingertips, and I’m excited to see how it can help me save energy and reduce costs in the long run.
Cheers to the Home Assistant community for providing such a robust and flexible platform!
