The owlintuition sensor platform consumes the information provided by an OWL Intuition device on your LAN.

In order to use the OWL Intuition platform, you have to either configure the HA sensor to listen for the base station's multicast packets (the device's default configuration) or configure your OWL base station to push data to your Home Assistant IP. How to do this (as of December 2020):

  1. Login into https://www.owlintuition.com with your account
  2. Click on System in the top bar
  3. Scroll to the bottom of the pop-up to "Advanced Settings"
  4. Select the ">" on the Setup Data Push line
  5. Set the IP address to the INTERNAL IP of your Home Assistant system, select a port, and click save

To configure the OWL Intuition sensor to receive multicast data add the following lines to your configuration.yaml:

# Example configuration.yaml entry
sensor:
  - platform: owlintuition
    host: 192.168.1.1         # Your Home Assistant IP
    monitored_conditions:
      - electricity

To configure the OWL Intuition sensor to receive push data add the following lines to your configuration.yaml:

# Example configuration.yaml entry
sensor:
  - platform: owlintuition
    host: 192.168.1.1         # IP address that the NetworkOWL sends to (your Home Assistant IP)
    port: 4321                # Port number you specified to the OWL data push settings
    monitored_conditions:
      - electricity

By default only the electricity sensors will be monitored. The host parameter is generally not necessary and will default to localhost.

This platform exposes multiple sensors according to the monitored conditions. The type of conditions that can be monitored are:

  • electricity: Electrical energy being used.
  • solar: Solar power being generated and used.
  • heating: Heating system.
  • hot_water: Hot water system.

For sensors exposing multi-zone data, you should specify how many zones are returned by OWL in the configuration (see below).

For the electric clamps, triphase installations are supported as well and one needs to specify mode: triphase in the configuration (the default mode is monophase).
