If you found this video helpful and would like to support my channel, check out my Home Assistant Idea List on Amazon: amzn.to/3tyTzeD (Amazon Affiliate) Thank you!
Fantastic thanks for the demo. Just 1 of 1000 projects I want to tackle
Thank you for putting together an easy to follow guide. I never worked in YAML before but your tutorial made it simple!
Thank you, this helped me set up the Itron gas meter, appreciate your videos!
Glad to hear! I know this isn't going to work for everyone but I'm glad to hear that it is helping at least some people.
Awesome. Thanks!
Great video. Thanks!
Great video - thank you!!
my meter physically is showing "05985" however MQTT is showing "589555". Do i need to do something special like dividing between 100 or just use a different unit instead of kWh?
Is there a way to filter out a specific id from the data? I was able to see water meter data, but being in a subdivision there are a lot of water meters broadcasting their data.
out curiosity what power company/meter do you use? Trying to ascertain if AEP would be compatible
The power meter says "Schlumberger CENTRON" and the gas meter says "Itron". I have a water meter that says Aclara. It shows the frequencies on the box but from what I understand, it is encrypted. If you are tech savvy or just want to learn, it might be worth getting an SDR just to play around with.
At the end of minute 5:29 you entered 912M for 912 megahertz and said that it was for this frequency. If I enter this number, will it also find devices below this frequency? I come from Europe, Germany to be precise, and here we have most devices with 868 MHz. Or do I have to enter "sudo rtl_433 -f 868M" so that the correct frequency is set?
You can enter different frequencies. I think it scans above and below the frequency you enter. I often use 433M to find sensors.
@@Rickmakes Helpful video, even if the path to rtl_433 you show in the .service file doesn't exist. I found it and got it working (/usr/bin, not /usr/local/bin on my system). Also, I believe the program actually listens on the frequency specified, and occasionally/randomly the meter actually transmits on (or at least close enough) that frequency. I do know the meters are frequency agile. That has been presented in other YT videos.
My services are encrypted. I'm assuming this the end of the road for my HA's dreams?
It is probably the end using this method. There are other methods using things like light sensors, hall effect sensors and cameras to read the meter.
I get all the way to creating the service and start getting error codes. I was able to pull data before, however there is something with the service that will not allow me to move forward. I get a (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE) error. I have verified everything is correct too. Any ideas?
Can you past your service config as a comment (removing the username and password parameters)?
I found that rtl_433 was in /usr/bin instead of /usr/local/bin so.I made that change to the service config and it started with no problem.
