Home Assistant integration for energy consumption data from UK SMETS (Smart) meters using the Hildebrand Glow API.

This integration works without requiring a consumer device provided by Hildebrand Glow and can work with your existing smart meter. You'll need to set up your smart meter for free in the Bright app on Android or iOS. This will only work when using the Data Communications Company (DCC) backend, which all SMETS 2 meters and some SMETS 1 meters do (more information). Once you can see your data in the app, you are good to go.

For reasons that remain unclear my "smart" meter stopped sending out updates recently. However, I did get it set up on the Bright app and so, once the meter is working again, I can have a go at this.

Anyone else done this? Or found a better way of doing it?

This is how I do it.
