Home Assistant is an open-source platform for smart home automation. It functions as a central place to integrate and automate various smart devices and services in your home.

One of Home Assistant's strengths is its ability to integrate with a wide range of devices. It uses a modular system, allowing you to easily add and integrate new devices.

The platform also offers powerful automation capabilities. You can set up scenarios where certain actions are automatically performed based on predefined conditions.

Home Assistant is popular for its flexibility, customizability, and active community. It runs on various platforms, including Raspberry Pi, and you have full control over your data as it is hosted locally on your own hardware.

Sending Data to EnergyID

We do our best to add as many integrations to EnergyID as possible, but unfortunately, it is not possible to integrate all services. Some services do not provide the necessary technology (public web API) for us to retrieve the data. In that case, Home Assistant is the perfect solution. Here we describe step by step how to configure your Home Assistant to send data to EnergyID.

If you have built an integration with EnergyID yourself, feel free to share your methodology/code with us. This way, you can help other EnergyID users better monitor their consumption.
