Any guide?

[impy101]

Is there a guide on how to apply this to home assistant?

I followed your guide and connected my ESP8266 to my meter, setup mqtt on my home assistant and I was hoping there would be a guide somewhere on how to proceed from here (i.e. how to get all the data on my dash)

``You have to have the sensors.yaml filled with the correct sensors. There was an update to how home assistant handles sensors so some older examples won't work. My sensors.yaml is this:

This is not working for me also. I have the sensors.yaml filled with the example from @bartkodden and added the following line to my configuration.yaml:

sensor: !include sensors.yaml

When I check the configuration in Developer Tools I see this error:

Invalid config for [sensor]: required key not provided @ data['platform']. Got None. (See /config/configuration.yaml, line 19).

Help is very much appreciated!

same issue here, including the sensors with the sample file spawns that error

I think I got it working. add this to configuration.yaml:

homeassistant:
  packages: !include_dir_named packages

create the directory "packages" in the config dir, and place the file there
