Integrating electricity readers with Home Assistant: Simple instructions and tips

The integration of the electricity reader into Home Assistant allows you to efficiently monitor and analyze your energy consumption. Our electricity reader is based on the Tasmota software, which makes it easy to integrate into your smart home system.

Current status of integration

We are currently working on a dedicated video tutorial as well as a detailed step-by-step guide on how to integrate the electricity reader with Home Assistant. These resources will be available soon.

Preliminary guidance with external support

Until we have our own materials ready, we recommend watching Simon42's integration video. Although this video introduces other products, the process shown is based on the Tasmota software and is therefore identical to the integration of our electricity reader.
