Configuration
To add the EDL21 hub to your Home Assistant instance, use this My button:
Manual configuration steps
If the above My button doesn’t work, you can also perform the following steps manually:

In the bottom right corner, select the
Add Integration button. -
From the list, select EDL21.

Follow the instructions on screen to complete the setup.
InF Mode
To enable InF mode there are different steps needed based on the meter type but most commonly you have to enter the PIN you received from your grid operator. Once you have it, enter it into the meter and switch to the InF menu where you can switch from InF=Off to InF=On. Entering this can be done using a flashlight or (if available) via the physical button on the meter.
For the efr SGM-C4 it is:
- flashing three times to enter pin mode
- entering pin using quicker flashes, wait for 3 seconds for next digit
- pin accepted
- flashing 7 times to get to InF=OFF
- 5-second flash to switch to InF=ON
You will now get more readings like current Power, Voltage, and phase angle. Some meters don´t have this, in that case only an overall reading is provided.
