This is a Home Assistant sensor component to retrieve information from the Energy Easy website, they are an electricity distributor within Victoria, Australia.
This component will retrieve your electricity usage details from their website, and only cover a limited area around the northern and north western suburbs of Melbourne, Victoria.
If United Energy is not your electricity distributor then this will be of no use to you.
The component will only retrieve Yesterdays usage, which will also retrieve the previous days if you wish do do some other comparisions. It could easily be extended to retrieve weekly, monthly or seasonal figures as well. (I haven't got that far yet)
The component is based on an older version of the mvandersteen/ha-jemenaoutlook energy sensor. Thank you to the writer of that component it helpd a lot.
This component is not endorsed by United Energy, nor have a I asked for their endorsement.
Copy the included file 'jemenaoutlook.py' to the sensor directory within custom_components directory where the configuration for your installation of home assistant sits. The custom_components directory does not exist in default installation state will will need to be created if it does not already exist.
<homeassistant-user-configuration-directory>/custom_components/sensor/energyeasy.py
For me this is :-
/home/ha/.homeassistant/custom_components/sensor/energyeasy.py
