### Supported devices

This component is created to only support the Kamstrup 403 meter. This is a conscious decision because I do own this device and I can only offer support for that. There are some similar devices that work with the same communication protocol. If it does work for a meter that isn't listed below, please create a [feature request](https://github.com/golles/ha-kamstrup_403/issues/new?assignees=&labels=enhancement&template=feature_request.yaml) so I can update the table.
Meter | Supported | Description
-- | -- | --
Kamstrup 403 | Yes |
Kamstrup 602 | Yes | Confirmed in [#10](https://github.com/golles/ha-kamstrup_403/issues/10)
Kamstrup 402 | Maybe | [Mentioned here](https://github.com/golles/ha-kamstrup_403/blob/main/custom_components/kamstrup_403/kamstrup.py#L12)
Kamstrup MC66C | No | Supported in my [old component](https://github.com/golles/Home-Assistant-Sensor-MC66C)


## Installation

## Configuration is done in the UI

It's recommended to use devices as `/dev/serial/by-id` and not `/dev/ttyUSB1` as the port, as the first one should be stable, while the second one can change when you add/remove usb (serial) adapters, or even when you perform a system reboot.
The port will become something like: `/dev/serial/by-id/usb-FTDI_FT230X_Basic_UART_D307PBVY-if00-port0`.
