The [Smart Meter Texas](https://www.smartmetertexas.com/) integration allows Texas residents to integrate their electric meters into Home Assistant. This integration will create a sensor for each meter that shows the current reading.
|
||||
|
||||
On its own this sensor is not particularly useful. However, combined with a [`utility_meter`](/integrations/utility_meter/) sensor you can obtain usage over a month, for example.
|
||||
|
||||
## Setup
|
||||
|
||||
Any Texas electricity consumer can register an account.
|
||||
|
||||
1. Go to [Smart Meter Texas](https://www.smartmetertexas.com/)
|
||||
2. Select _Sign Up_
|
||||
3. Choose _residential_ as your account type
|
||||
4. You will need following details which can be found on your electric bill.
|
||||
- The name of your retail electric provider
|
||||
- Your meter number
|
||||
- Your ESIID (Electric Service Identifier)
|
||||
|
||||
<div class='note'>
|
||||
Due to API limits, this sensor refreshes once per hour. The limit is 24 meter readings per calendar day.
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
|
||||
## Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
This integration can be configured from the frontend.
|
||||
|
||||
Menu: _Configuration > Integrations_, select the `+` button and search for _Smart Meter Texas_.
