Got my #GlowCAD connected to my #SmartMeter today. This took three days. Day:

1. Glow didn't find the meter bec I'm setting up #HomeAssistant away from the property.

2. I asked #Hildebrand to kick it off again for next visit but they didn't, in case I thought the Glow would collect data even if taken away from the property. They could have just warned me and it would have been done on day 2.

3. Today they messed up the config so I spent the day trying to find a problem that didn't exist.

I am soooo impressed with #HomeAssistant. Adding a Glow #SmartMeter CAD to my non-standard #HomeLab just works (following the below tutorial).

I have HA talking to Glow using #MQTT:
- Glow connected to mobile hotspot
- Router connected to mobile hotspot
- Dell #Optiplex (#Proxmox VE with HA in a VM) wired to router
- Laptop wired to Router for access to HA dashboard to do the config

I'm not where the meter is so can't check that part yet, but HA is talking to #GlowCAD.
