Manual configuration steps

URL

The URL of the Emoncms server starting with the protocol (http or https). For cloud installations, use https://emoncms.org (trailing slash optional). For local installations, use your local server address (e.g., http://localhost:8080). Ensure the server is accessible from your Home Assistant instance.

API key

The 32-character read-only API key needed for authentication is found under “My Account > Read Only API Key” in Emoncms. The key should be a hexadecimal string.
