# DSMR Reader

> DSMR Reader is a built-in integration for Home Assistant. It has 1.4k installs sharing analytics and works locally.

DSMR Reader is a built-in integration that reads smart meter data from a DSMR Reader installation. It adds sensors for current gas usage and for monthly and daily costs, including fixed costs, gas cost, and high and low tariff usage, cost and returned energy. It works locally, so the data does not pass through a cloud service. Home Assistant can find it on the network and offer to add it, and setup is done in the UI. A diagnostics download is available for attaching to bug reports.
