"Green Button" #38

Open THX2112 opened 8 months ago

OEB now has a programme called "Green Button" which lets customers or customer-authorized third-parties to "download" their usage data.

Data format is XML, and it appears to be almost real-time if using the "CMD method". Real-time would be awesome, but even historical data would be very useful to have and track in HA.

Has anyone looked at this? Would this be something that could be included in the OEB integration, or better made as it's own thing?

Ouu interesting! I didn't even know about this 😝 I've got some finishing touches left with some of the natural gas integration, though once I've got some time I'll try taking a look into this a little more and see if there's something that can be done!
