Read Your Meter

The read your meter integration can be used to read your house water consumption and hopefully will enable you to save water and to early detect water leaks.

There is currently support for the following device types within Home Assistant:

• Sensor

Requirements

For the integration to work, you need the following:

• Account in read your meter
• Selenuim standalone chrome running on same device as Home Assistant.

Install Selenuim

For installing Sellenuim please refer to the offical documentation.

Raspberry PI

If you want to run the Sellenuim on Raspbery Pi, you can use the following command to download and start container with the following command:

docker run -d -p 4444:4444 --name selenium chadbutz/rpi-selenium-standalone-chrome

or with docker-compose

version: '2.1'

services:

  selenuim:
    image: chadbutz/rpi-selenium-standalone-chrome
    container_name: selenuim
    ports:
      - 4444:4444
    restart: unless-stopped

Ubuntu

For unbuntu, the offical image of selenuim can be used:

docker run -d -p 4444:4444 --name selenium selenium/standalone-chrome

MANUAL INSTALLATION

1. Download the read_your_meter.zip file from the latest release.
2. Unpack the release and copy the custom_components/read_your_meter directory into the custom_components directory of your Home Assistant installation.
3. Configure the read_your_meter integration.
4. Restart Home Assistant.

INSTALLATION VIA HACS

1. Ensure that HACS is installed.
2. Search for and install the read_your_meter integration.
3. Configure the read_your_meter integration.
4. Restart Home Assistant.

Configuration

To enable this integration with the default configuration, add the following lines to your configuration.yaml file:
