DSMR Reader home assistant ADDON

[eterpstra]

Hi,

Since a few years, i am running the DSMR Reader Addon in home-assistant:
https://community.home-assistant.io/t/dsmr-reader-add-on-for-home-assistant/279087

DSMR Reader supports MQTT. All of my sensors are intergated in home-assistant via MQTT.

I was trying to add DSMR Reader to EVCC, but for some reaons, i am not receiving data. I created a new folder within this path:

/homeassistant/addons_config/49686a9f_evcc/evcc.yaml

Within this file, i created the following MQTT Data:

`# evcc.yaml

mqtt:
broker: 192.168.1.134:1883 # of het IP-adres van je MQTT broker
topic: evcc # root topic voor publicatie en ontvangst
user: xxxxxxx # optioneel
password: xxxxxx # optioneel

Meterkast P1

meters:

• name: dsmr
  type: custom
  power:
  source: calc
  add:
  - source: mqtt
  topic: dsmr/reading/electricity_currently_delivered
  scale: 1000 # bijvoorbeeld om kW naar W te converteren
  - source: mqtt

  scale: -1000 # bijvoorbeeld om kW naar W te converteren

      scale: 1000
    • source: mqtt
      topic: dsmr/reading/phase_currently_returned_l3
      scale: -1000`

When i restart EVCC, DSMR is not visible. Am i doing something wrong?

Also i dont see anyting in the logs.

Is the location of the EVCC file correct? All of my other sensors (Vericle, SMA inverters and my EV charger), are configurered via the interface.

should work.
no need to fight with yaml -locations: do the config in the UX - there you get immediate feedback

for some (here irrelevant) reasons, I'm using only energy readings from the DSMR.
timeout: 86400s is essential, as the night register will timeout during day (and vice versa)

energy:
  source: calc
  add:
    - source: mqtt
      topic: dsmr/reading/electricity_delivered_1
      timeout: 86400s
    - source: mqtt
      topic: dsmr/reading/electricity_delivered_2
      timeout: 86400s
returnEnergy:   
  source: calc
  add:
    - source: mqtt
      topic: dsmr/reading/electricity_returned_1
      timeout: 86400s
    - source: mqtt
      topic: dsmr/reading/electricity_returned_2
      timeout: 86400s

Okay but how do i add this config via de Gui? @RenatusRo

[RenatusRo]

configuration -> grid meter -> custom (or user defined?) , then add your yaml code (mqtt nneds to be defined in advance (under integrations)

Thanks Found it!

MQTT is defined under intergrations, When i now add my configuration to test/validate:

energy:
  source: calc
  add:
    - source: mqtt
      topic: dsmr/reading/electricity_delivered_1
      timeout: 86400s
    - source: mqtt
      topic: dsmr/reading/electricity_delivered_2
      timeout: 86400s

I am getting this error:

cannot create meter type 'custom': decoding failed due to the following error(s): 'struct { measurement.Energy "mapstructure:",squash""; measurement.Phases "mapstructure:",squash""; measurement.Dimmer "mapstructure:",squash""; measurement.Curtailer "mapstructure:",squash""; meter.pvMaxACPower "mapstructure:",squash""; meter.batteryCapacityCtx "mapstructure:",squash""; meter.batterySocLimitsCtx "mapstructure:",squash""; meter.batteryPowerLimitsCtx "mapstructure:",squash""; Soc *plugin.Config; LimitSoc *plugin.Config; BatteryMode *plugin.Config }' has invalid keys: meters

try to start with the given yaml template
and add value by value (starting with the [working] example.

required attributes

power: # current power
  source: const
  value: 1000 # W


## optional attributes (read-only)

#energy: # meter reading in kWh
#  source: const
#  value: 42.5
#returnenergy: # meter reading in reverse direction in kWh (e.g. grid feed-in)
#  source: const
#  value: 12.3
#maxpower: # maximum AC power in W (for hybrid pv)
#  source: const
#  value: 5000
#soc: # state of charge in % (for battery)
#  source: const
#  value: 75
#capacity: 10.5 # capacity in kWh (for battery)
#powers: # phase powers in W
#  - source: const
#    value: 330
#  - source: const
#    value: 340

Hi,

not sure what you mean. I have to use my own mqtt templates ?
