Frequently Asked Questions

How often is the data fetched?

The component currently fetches data from IEC every hour, but IEC doesn't update the data very often and they don't really have a consistant behavior, it could arrive with 2 days delay.

Can this component be used even if I'm using a private electric company?

Yes.
However, the only difference is that in the Invoices you'll see balance = 0 since you're paying to the private company

Should I enter my configuration credentials every time?

No.
You should do it only once when configuring the component.

I have a "dumb" meter, would this component still work for me.

Yes, But....
You would only get a subset of sensors, based on your Invoice information.

Examples of usage.

You can head to usage and examples page to see examples of this components used in cards in HomeAssistant
