Integrate with Geo Home smart meters in Home Assistant

Instructions

To collect Geo Home smart meter data, you must have a WiFi connected smart meter from Geo Together. If you have a smart meter that is not WiFi connected by default, you can buy a WiFi module from Geo Together at https://geotogether.com/product-category/accessories/.

Once you have a WiFi connected smart meter, create an account on the Geo Home app. The username and password for this account are used to connect the Geo Home integration.

After downloading the Geo Home integration into HACS, remember to install it by navigating to Settings -> Devices & services -> Add integration, then select "Geo Home". You will be prompted for a username and password. Enter the ones you created from the app. This will create Gas and Electricity sensors, tracking the lifetime energy usage of your meters. If you get a 401 error, you may have entered the wrong credentials, or your account may be blocked for remote access. Unfortunately there is nothing we can do to resolve that.

Energy Dashboard Configuration

To display Electricity in the energy dashboard, add sensor.electricity as your Electricity Consumed Energy (kWh), and set Use an entity tracking the total costs with a cost sensor of sensor.electricity_cost_today

To display Gas in the energy dashboard, add sensor.gas or sensor.gas_m3 as your Gas usage, and set Use an entity tracking the total costs with a cost sensor of sensor.gas_cost_today

Upgrading

If you are upgrading from version 1.2, the units of your cost sensors will have been £/kWh instead of GBP/kWh. You can go to https://my.home-assistant.io/redirect/developer_statistics to correct that
