Home Assistant 2023.11
Seconding this. I was able to just run it with docker compose on a cheap mini PC and it chugs away happily, interfacing with all manner of devices (Phillips/Lifx/IKEA/Airpurifier/Bunnings brands). Only gets tricky to set up devices when you're dealing with some hostile cloud based gadget that doesn't want to play nice.
Unbelievable it can all be controlled offline using Siri on an iPhone, or other voice assistants.
It can even display your electricity consumption by counting the LED pulses on your smart electricity meter that fires every 1000th of a kw/h, only takes a cheap ESP32 and a photodiode: https://github.com/klaasnicolaas/home-assistant-glow
Such a wonderful project.

How can I monitor my energy usage? I.e. connect to home assistant? I live in a rental apartment and this is the main board.

Selfhosted solution to measure energy consumption in an apartment
Alternatively if you want to measure your overall energy consumption and aren't too worried what is generating the load, then I would suggest looking into the Home Assistant Glow project on github (https://github.com/klaasnicolaas/home-assistant-glow) - assuming you have a suitable electricity meter - for a couple of pounds you can put together a light sensitive diode and an ESP8266 (or similar) to create a device to sit over the flashing light on the meter to calculate usage. I have found it pretty accurate - it seems to match my billed usage pretty closely (within 3-5kw per month).

Power meter, where to put the pulse reader?
Check out Home Assistant Glow for a similar DIY device.

My electricity provider’s consumption interface wasn’t flexible enough, so I went for the jugular and started retrieving real-time usage by attaching a photoresistor to my meter’s light that blinks 1000 times per kilowatt-hour.
If folks want to make one of these theirselves (themselves? whatever), the "home assistant glow" project makes it pretty straightforward: https://github.com/klaasnicolaas/home-assistant-glow (I can never find the link, so I might as well drop it here). It uses ESPHome + a config file + a photo-diode thingy. It's more or less the same thing with a photoresistor. The server-side works easiest with Home Assistant, but you can access the device on its own too.
- trying too setup the non invasive power meter got the diode reporting back the flashes per minute what do I need too do too convert this into a usable measurement I know the led on my meter flashes 3200 times for 1KWH
- Any off-the-shelf solution to measure electricity consumption from an electro-mechanical meter?

Beginner questions: How to integrate CustomComponents into the source tree, proper setup of dev-environment.
I have two questions: I already have my DIY MultiSensor hardware that was built around an ESP8266. It's main functionality is to count power pulses from my power meter via an LDR, and the hardware seems to run fine. I am aware of the Glow project, https://github.com/klaasnicolaas/home-assistant-glow , but for some reason this didn't play well with my self-created hardware. Also, I do think that my measure algorithm has a slight advantage, but that's not the point here :)
