  power_meter:
    url: https://github.com/XavierBerger/Solar-Router-for-ESPHome/
    files:
      - path: solar_router/power_meter_fronius.yaml
        vars:
          power_meter_ip_address: "192.168.1.21"

This package needs to know the IP address of the inverter. This IP address has to be defined by power_meter_ip_address into vars section as show upper.

This package is activated/deactivated with the variable power_meter_activated. By default, a power meter is deactivated at startup. The activation switch in home assistant determines if the power meter should be started or not.

This power meter can be use in a proxy (a Solar Router only using a power meter). If this power meter is used in a proxy, it is required to activate it at startup by setting power_meter_activated_at_start to 1 in your yaml in the vars section defining the power meter configuration :

power_meter_activated_at_start: "1"
