#### Using (Smart Message Language) interface
In countries like Germany, SML (Smart Message Language) is used typically. ESPHome's [SML (Smart Message Language)](https://esphome.io/components/sml.html) is one way to integrate it. If you prefer to integrate it via MQTT, [sml2mqtt](https://github.com/spacemanspiff2007/sml2mqtt) is another open source option.

### Manual Integration
If you manually integrate your sensors, for example, using the [MQTT](/integrations/mqtt) or [Template](/integrations/template) integrations: Make sure you set and provide the `device_class`, `state_class`, and `unit_of_measurement` for those sensors.
### Troubleshooting ### Troubleshooting
If you are unable to select your energy sensor in the grid consumption drop-down, make sure that its value is being recorded in the Recorder settings.
