Hi

I’m an E.ON Next customer in the UK. I have a smart display in my house (I hope this is the correct terminology) connected to a smart meter outside. There are no ports on the display, just power and I can’t get to one outside due to a severe gardening malfunction.

However, I was recently checking my gas and electric charges through an online app called uSwitch when they asked if I wanted to connect their app to my smart meter for current and historical usage data. All I had to provide was a code on the back of my display, it only took a few minutes and I was receiving data from the smart meter.

So, my question is. Has anyone seen this before and is there anything in Homey that might also be able to connect?

Thanks

Stephen

The uSwitch app probably loads the data from a server, which means that it might be possible to build a Homey app for it as long as it uses standard protocols (HTTP, HTTPS, WS, etc.) and it doesn’t have any CAPTCHAs.

You can request apps for devices and services in the app requests topic:

At least there’s a Home Assistant integration available, maybe this is useful for Homey app devs willing to contribute to a Homey version
