Check your configuration, you likely do not have utility meters enabled.

Thank you for the update. After editing the configuration and restarting HA I get the following log 2026-05-17 13:21:53.763 WARNING (MainThread) [custom_components.hilo] Starting legacy connection to ChallengeHub.

All of this can be safely ignored. The component has a quick subroutine that runs after setup and fixes this silently.

Please close your other issue as obviously it is now fixed if you got this far.
