Glow Smart Meter Display and Home Assistant TUTORIAL (2025)

I’ve finally got around to updating this tutorial after two and a half years and things have moved on somewhat. There’s now a really useful integration available via HACS from Megakid which automatically detects your display after you have connected it to MQTT. This tutorial will walk you through all of the steps required.
