During my internship at [Nabu Casa][nc] in the first half of 2021, I focused on energy management for your house, how to collect all energy data and display it on a dashboard. Since Home Assistant release **2021.8** it's possible to use the [Home Assistant Energy][energy] dashboard to display your energy usage. Unfortunately, not everyone has a smart meter and/or is equipped with a P1 port. This is where the Home Assistant Glow comes in!

Home Assistant Glow makes a *(not so)* smart meter without a P1 port easily readable, reading the pulse LED that is always present in most cases and it works with [ESPHome][esphome]! To neatly hide it all in your meter cupboard, a case has been designed that you can 3D print yourself.



### How do I know if my meter is supported?



To make sure your meter will work with the Home Assistant Glow, you have to look for the `imp/kWh` rate on your meter (see picture). Make a note of this value because you may need it later when configuring your device.





  




## Getting Started



> [!IMPORTANT]

> Please note, the default branch shows development and may be ahead of the released version. For copying YAML code, use the [release branch](https://github.com/klaasnicolaas/home-assistant-glow/releases/latest). It's best to use the [website](https://glow-energy.io/docs/getting-started#step-2-install-firmware) to install the latest firmware on your ESP.



On the [documentation website](https://glow-energy.io/docs/introduction) you will find a complete walkthrough with which hardware you need, how to install the correct firmware on your ESP (using esp web tools) and how to add it to Home Assistant.
