SMETS2 CAD - Home Screen Content

On the back of great reviews, I recently took delivery of the Glowmarkt SMETS2 CAD.

Overall, I am very impressed with the unit, especially the MQTT facility which enables me to see real-time electricity and gas consumption data inside Home Assistant.

There is however, one major issue for me. This is the apparent inability (unless I'm missing something) to show live consumption for Electricity and Gas on the home screen.

I also have a Geo Trio IHD which shows live consumption or cost as the default display.

For me, the current days consumption is of no real use, except for historical context. I want to be able to glance up and see what I am currently using.

I know that I can get the current live electricity or gas by tapping on either of the day's usage figures, but it's just not the same as the instant view that the Geo unit gives me.

Being able to switch between today's usage and live consumption must be a relatively straightforward firmware modification.
