Home Assistant ​

Configures a direct connection between ZiggyMeter and a Home Assistant instance over Wi-Fi. The device pushes sensor updates to the Home Assistant REST API after each readout, and Home Assistant creates the entities automatically.

INFO

This is the Wi-Fi integration. It does not work over Zigbee — for that, pair the device with your coordinator instead and see Home Assistant via Zigbee.

Home Assistant settings

Configuration ​

FieldMeaning
ENABLED / DISABLEDTurns the direct integration on. Wi-Fi must be enabled for this to work.
Home Assistant URLFull URL of your instance, e.g. http://homeassistant.local or http://192.168.1.10:8123. Both http and https are supported.
TokenThe long-lived access token, created in your Home Assistant profile under Security.
IMPORT CERTIFICATEUploads a PEM-encoded certificate used to verify the Home Assistant server. Needed — and only enabled — for https URLs.

INFO

The Token field always appears empty, even when one is stored: the device never returns it. Leaving it blank when you save keeps the existing token.

DANGER

An https URL without an imported certificate will always fail. Either import the certificate or use the http URL of your local instance.

Actions ​

ButtonEffect
TEST CONNECTIONChecks that the device can reach the instance and authenticate with the token.
UPDATESaves the configuration.

Test first, save second. A successful test is the fastest way to separate a network problem from a token problem.

When sensors appear ​

Entities are created on the first successful publish, not when you save the settings. Trigger a meter reading, then look under Settings → Devices & services → Entities in Home Assistant.
