Just received a Hildebrand Glow display to connect to my electricity meter.

So far, very impressive — publishing data from the electricity meter every 10s over local mqtt, easy to pick up and feed into the Energy dashboard in Home Assistant.

They were able to get this set up and working before data from the smart meter has even started appearing in the Octopus dashboard.

@steve oh wow I just had a look and I’m surprised that they can “just” get my historical energy data and show it on an app immediately.

@steve I clicked the link because of the MQTT but the app alone has impressed me!

@mattgrayyes It's a bit of the smart metering infrastructure that appears to Just Work, which surprised me considerably!

@steve They're great aren't they! The staff are super lovely - I ordered mine during lockdown and the CEO personally dispatched it and organised it being linked to my meter.

You may be interested in the wall mount I designed for it: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4848941

@jonty I will keep that in mind if I'm ever tidy enough to need to wall-mount it!

It's currently occupying the same shelf as my router, a switch, an access point, some 1999 Histon Beer Festival pint glasses, and all my regularly-used cookery books...
