inexogy

The inexogy integrationIntegrations connect and integrate Home Assistant with your devices, services, and more. [Learn more] allows users to integrate their inexogy smart meters into Home Assistant. The integration is using the official REST API by inexogy.

The integration supports the following meter types within Home Assistant:

• Electricity meter
• Gas meter

Prerequisites

For this integrationIntegrations connect and integrate Home Assistant with your devices, services, and more. [Learn more], you need a inexogy smart meter, a inexogy account and your credentials.

Configuration

To add the inexogy service to your Home Assistant instance, use this My button:

Electricity meter

Sensor entitiesAn entity represents a sensor, actor, or function in Home Assistant. Entities are used to monitor physical properties or to control other entities. An entity is usually part of a device or a service. [Learn more] are being added for current active power usage and the all-time total consumption. By default, the sensors for phase-specific current active power usage are disabled but can be enabled in the entity settings.

In case you have a bidirectional meter for consumption and production, the all-time total production is added as well.

Gas meter

A Sensor entityAn entity represents a sensor, actor, or function in Home Assistant. Entities are used to monitor physical properties or to control other entities. An entity is usually part of a device or a service. [Learn more] is being added for total gas consumption.

Provided sensors

Depending on your meter type, different sensors are available:

Electricity - Main sensors

• sensor.electricity_<street>_<number>_total_power: Current power consumption in watts
• sensor.electricity_<street>_<number>_total_consumption: Total energy consumption in kWh
• sensor.electricity_<street>_<number>_total_production: Total energy production in kWh (bidirectional meters only)

Electricity - Optional sensors (disabled by default)

• sensor.electricity_<street>_<number>_phase_1_power: Power consumption phase 1 in watts
• sensor.electricity_<street>_<number>_phase_2_power: Power consumption phase 2 in watts
• sensor.electricity_<street>_<number>_phase_3_power: Power consumption phase 3 in watts
• sensor.electricity_<street>_<number>_phase_1_voltage: Voltage phase 1 in volts
• sensor.electricity_<street>_<number>_phase_2_voltage: Voltage phase 2 in volts
• sensor.electricity_<street>_<number>_phase_3_voltage: Voltage phase 3 in volts

Gas

• sensor.gas_<street>_<number>_total_gas_consumption: Total gas consumption in cubic meters

Data update

The sensors are updated every 30 seconds. This pulls the latest data available from the inexogy API. Note that this doesn’t mean the meter data itself is new every 30 seconds. The frequency at which your meter sends new data to inexogy depends on your meter model and measurement concept.

Use cases and examples

Energy dashboard

The total consumption and production sensors provided by this integration are fully compatible with the Home Assistant Energy Dashboard.

• sensor.electricity_example_street_11_total_consumption (total consumption) can be added to the “Grid consumption” field.
• sensor.electricity_example_street_11_total_production (total production) can be added to the “Return to grid” field.

Automations

You can use the current power sensor (sensor.electricity_example_street_11_total_power) to trigger automations based on your electricity usage.

Example: Send a notification when power consumption exceeds 3000 W for 5 minutes.

automation:
  - alias: High Power Consumption Detected
    trigger:
      - platform: numeric_state
        entity_id: sensor.electricity_example_street_11_total_power
        above: 3000
        for:
          minutes: 5
    action:
      - service: notify.mobile_app_your_device
        data:
          message: "High power consumption detected: {{ states('sensor.electricity_example_street_11_total_power') }} W"

Example: Turn off high-power devices when photovoltaic production is insufficient (for bidirectional meters).

automation:
  - alias: Consumption Control Based on PV Output
    trigger:
      - platform: state
        entity_id: sensor.electricity_example_street_11_total_power
    condition:
      - condition: numeric_state
        entity_id: sensor.electricity_example_street_11_total_power
        above: 0  # Positive value means grid consumption
    action:
      - service: switch.turn_off
        target:
          entity_id: switch.high_power_device

Troubleshooting

No data or stale sensors

If your sensors are not showing data or values are stale, check the following:

1. inexogy Portal: Log in to the inexogy web portal and check if it shows current data from your meter. If not, there might be an issue with your meter or connection to inexogy.

2. Home Assistant Logs: Check the Home Assistant logs for error messages related to the inexogy integration. Authentication errors (Authentication failed) mean your email address or password is incorrect.

3. API Rate Limits: The inexogy API has rate limits. Although the integration is designed to stay within these limits, frequent Home Assistant restarts or other tools using the API might lead to temporary blocks.

Missing sensors

• Production sensors: The electricity production sensor is only available for bidirectional meters. If you have such a meter but don’t see it, check your data in the inexogy portal.
• Phase sensors: Per-phase power and voltage sensors are disabled by default and not available for all meters. You can enable them on the integration page under “Entities”.

Network issues

If you see connection errors, ensure that Home Assistant has a stable internet connection. The integration needs access to api.inexogy.com over HTTPS (port 443).

Removing the integration

This integration follows standard integration removal. No extra steps are required.

To remove an integration instance from Home Assistant

1. Go to Settings > Devices & services and select the integration card.
2. From the list of devices, select the integration instance you want to remove.
3. Next to the entry, select the three dots menu. Then, select Delete.
