Fronius Power Meter¶

Description¶

This power meter works with a Fronius Smart Meter in conjunction with a Fronius Inverter.

Fronius provides an open interface named Fronius Solar API which allows querying the inverter and obtaining data locally.

This package is activated/deactivated with the global power_meter_activated. By default, a power meter is deactivated at startup. The activation switch in Home Assistant determines whether the power meter should run.

Network dependency

This power meter requires the network to gather information about energy exchanged with the grid.
