How to set up Home Assistant for GivEnergy?
Many thanks for all your hard work and perseverance.
I don't feel skilled at using HA by any means yet but most certainly DO feel equipped to explore the integrations that are out there and revisit some of the things that got me stumped in the first place, with an understanding of how things operate and their requirements and the option of revisiting this thread if a recap is required!
Practice makes perfect and that is exactly what I intend to do.
I'm sure there will be questions and updates will follow as new kit is added to our house.
Once again, thank you for sharing your knowledge
Not hard work at all, @johndunlop, but rather an exercise in good fun. Happy to help.
