About
Hildebrand Glow (DCC) is an integration that reads energy data from UK SMETS smart meters through the Hildebrand Glow API. It adds sensors for each smart meter on the account, covering today's usage in kWh, today's total cost in GBP, the current daily standing charge and the current tariff rate. The standing charge and rate sensors are disabled by default, and the usage and cost sensors keep showing the previous day's figures until shortly after 01:00. Data is polled every 15 minutes, and tariff data every 60 minutes. It is a community fork of an abandoned earlier project, relies on the vendor's cloud, and is added in the UI by entering the Glow account email and password.

From the README
Home Assistant integration for energy consumption data from UK SMETS (Smart) meters using the Hildebrand Glow API. The original from (HandyHat) of this project is now declared as abandoned, so after the local tweaks Ive been making over the last 24 months, and into the future, I decided to create my own fork, and release it. The idea is that this new Repo will be a place where the community of users can contribute, and collectively we can improve this Integration.
Note: in order to create debugging information as the integration is setup, then you need to configure the logger (for debug) as defined below - ie BEFORE, you 'Add Integration'.
