DSMR Reader

The dsmr_reader sensor integration allows you to easily add all sensors that DSMR Reader (Dutch Smart Meter Requirements Reader) exposes to MQTT. It adds a separate sensor for every field in the MQTT topics which is named sensor_dsmr_<mqtt_topic>.

Prerequisites

To use this DSMR Reader sensor integration, you need to have a DSMR Reader instance running and an MQTT broker to send sensor data through.

  1. Add the MQTT broker integration in Home Assistant, if you haven’t done so already
  2. Configure the MQTT broker in the DSMR Reader application
  3. Enable the following data sources in the DSMR Reader administration pages with the default mappings:
    • Day consumption: Split topic
    • Gas consumption: Split topic
    • Meter Statistics: Split topic
    • Quarter-hour peak consumption: Split topic
    • Telegram: Split topic

配置

要将 DSMR Reader integration 添加到您的 Home Assistant 实例中,请使用此 My 按钮:

DSMR Reader 可以被 Home Assistant 自动发现。如果发现了实例, 它将显示为 已发现。您可以立即进行设置。

手动配置步骤

如果没有自动发现,请不要担心!您可以设置一个 手动集成条目:

It is most advisable to not use the “total” and “daily” sources. The regular “reading” sensors provide the most stable source of data for Home Assistant to use. These MQTT values are part of the “Telegram: Split topic” MQTT values within DSMR Reader, so make sure to enable them.

Section Sensors to configure
Grid consumption Low tariff usage, High tariff usage
Return to grid Low tariff returned, High tariff returned
Gas consumption Gas meter usage

Difference with the DSMR integration

This integration relies on the presence of an existing DSMR Reader application setup. It processes the events triggered by the MQTT publishing feature to create sensor entities within Home Assistant. This integration uses the data published on the MQTT broker, no matter how or where the application is installed. By comparison, the DSMR integration connects directly to the smart meter within Home Assistant and doesn’t use the DSMR Reader application.
