IOmeter is a Berlin company whose reader clips onto the infrared port of a digital electricity meter and reports consumption and feed-in. The data is viewed in the IOmeter app and can be passed on to Home Assistant, Homey, evcc and similar energy tools.
IOmeter has two parts: a Core that sits on the meter and runs on battery or USB-C, and a Bridge that joins the home Wi-Fi. Home Assistant and Homey read the Bridge over the local network, and evcc is configured with the Bridge's IP address, so live data does not depend on a vendor cloud for those integrations.
That suits people who want live grid import and export for solar, wallbox or battery control. It is weaker for voice assistants and for Apple Home, Google Home or Matter, where we found no support, and the app listings we found are iPhone only.

Energy tools Home Assistant, Homey, evcc, Zerofy and clever-PV
Batteries and tariffs Battery storage systems named in app release notes, and dynamic tariffs in IOmeter Plus
The main app. It shows consumption in kWh and euros in real time, supports one-way and two-way meters, single and dual tariffs, advance-payment reminders and Excel or CSV export. Published by IOmeter GmbH, Berlin. The listing says local data transfer needs IOmeter hardware with firmware 62 or 69.
A companion energy-management app from the same developer. It shows consumption and feed-in, links several IOmeter units and supports dynamic tariffs including EPEX spot prices for smart charging. The listing names compatibility with many EVs, wallboxes, smart plugs, heat pumps and inverters. A user review mentions a trial followed by a monthly fee, which we could not confirm on IOmeter's side.

Wi-Fi
Yes
The Bridge connects to the router over Wi-Fi, and Home Assistant lists the Bridge's Wi-Fi signal strength as a sensor. Homey's partner page says the Bridge can be up to 50 metres from the Core.
The Core attaches to the meter's infrared port and runs on battery or USB-C. The Homey listing describes the Core as not needing Wi-Fi where the meter sits, with the Bridge relaying its data. We could not confirm the radio used between Core and Bridge.
Built-in integration, added in Home Assistant 2025.3 and maintained by the Home Assistant project rather than IOmeter. It is local, can discover the device automatically and exposes power, import, export and tariff energy plus battery and signal status. Core and Bridge need firmware 62/69 or newer.
The Homey app is published by IOmeter GmbH, not Athom, and the listing shows Homey Cloud, Pro, Pro mini and Self-Hosted Server. The same listing says Homey Bridge is required, which we could not square with the Cloud entry. It communicates locally and gives flow triggers for power and battery changes.
evcc's own documentation has an IOmeter meter template that needs only the Bridge IP address and is used as a grid meter. It is maintained by the evcc project. IOmeter's App Store listing also names EVCC.
An HTTP interface on the Bridge exists, with polling and Server-Sent Events, used by the Home Assistant integration and a Python library whose maintainer has an iometer.de address. We could not open IOmeter's own API documentation, so its scope and official status are unconfirmed.
Checked 11 November 2026 against the brand's own pages, app store listings and each project's own page. “Not found” means we searched and found nothing, not that it is impossible. Compatibility changes often. Spot an error? Tell us and we will fix it.
