The utility meter helper integration can track the consumption of utilities, such as electricity, gas, or water. It does so by tracking the state of a source entity, such as a smart meter, and calculating the usage based on the difference between the current and previous state.
Devices & entities¶
Spook does not provide any new devices or entities for this integration.
Actions¶
Spook does not provide action enhancements for this integration.
Repairs¶
While Spook is floating around in your Home Assistant instance, it will raise repairs issues if it has found something that is not right.
Unknown source entity¶
Spook inspects all utility meters created to find source entities they meter that no longer exist. If Spook finds such a case, it will raise a repair issue, informing you about the problematic utility meter and the source entity that is missing.
To resolve the raised issue, you can either remove the utility meter helper or restore the referenced source entity. Spook will automatically remove the repair issue once the issue is fixed.
