British Gas Smart Meters #1189

Closed jellybob closed 8 years ago

jellybob commented 8 years ago

It would be nice to get support for British Gas smart meters which are being rolled out in the UK. You can't directly connect to them, but it should be pretty simple to build something that scrapes their web portal for relevant data.

I'm mostly opening this issue so that I can keep track of my intention to build the support - feel free to assign it to me.

@jellybob did you get anywhere with this? I'm interested in building something to monitor my electricity meter (will probably have to watch for LED pulses)

@insertjokehere It won't work with a smart gas meter. but I've experimented with a couple of sensors.

These guys do gas and electricity sensors - https://www.your-loop.com/ - which I've just added to HA (will be in the next release).

I've had one of these for a while - which is also supported by HA - http://efergy.com/uk/products/energy-gateways
