About this app

Do you know how many Watts your home is consuming right now? Discover real-time electricity consumption with My Electric Meter App. Simply choose the "Read LED Directly" option, align the app with the LED indicator on your electric smart meter, and press "Start." Within seconds, the app will display your current electricity consumption in Watts.

To utilize the app, enter the "Imp/kWh" value from your digital smart meter. Keep your device in "Read LED Directly" mode on your electric smart meter, while using another device in "Remote Reader" mode for convenient remote readings. Both devices should be connected to the same wifi network.

Now, you can easily integrate My Electric Meter App as a sensor in Home Assistant with the provided code:

sensor:

unit_of_measurement: "W"

Please note that this app is currently in development. Thank you.

Ratings and reviews

Didn't work in real time and only give a calculation of approximate figure based on something. Didn't count correctly and wants wifi hooked to your electric meter or a tool to bridge the electric meter with the phone.

I got the readings. It said it needed more information . then it disappeared. Did it again to day. Blinking camera working. No results when i finished. Am i to remember all the numbers it blinked . i am very disappointed . i am on a fixed incom with over a 400 dollar like bill

It is working as expected. The kWh correlates to equipment load connected. Could check both kWh pulses and kVAh pulses. Feature request: Please add the log with date, time and user entered notes also as another field. Thanks
