Smart Meter Texas
The Smart Meter Texas integration allows Texas residents to integrate their electric meters into Home Assistant. This integration will create a sensor for each meter that shows the current reading.
On its own this sensor is not particularly useful. However, combined with a utility_meter sensor you can obtain usage over a month, for example.
