The standard installation of Home Assistant allows you to link to your smart meter via Sparky. When configured correctly, you can use Sparky's P1 data within Home Assistant.
After you have installed Sparky, the IP address is not immediately visible. This usually takes 24 hours, because a firmware update must occur.
After this update, the IP address is visible and you can use it for a connection with Home Assistant. To do this, follow the description below.
This is how you configure Home Assistant with Sparky
In the Chargee app
Open the Chargee app
Go to Profile
Under 'Home & Energy', choose the address with which you want to configure Home Assistant
