I can't create a new input.

Hello, it's me again :).

I got the addon to work, however, when I try to create a new device for input, it doesn't work. I plan to get data from my HA instance and send it to this addon through this integration.

Sorry i dont use and dont know this integration

You should better ask on :
https://community.openenergymonitor.org/

I think some members of this forum use this integration

Anyway a good starting point with inputs can be to read the input API Help at the top right of the page

The API Help docs says the input data has to be sent to a specified node to work. The integration just acts as a wrapper for the functionality.

My major problem is not being able to create a new input device, so there's nothing to send data to. Which is weird because I can make feeds, graphs and others but nothing happens when I click on "new device" under input.

You dont need to create a new input service, inputs are created when you send datas through the REST API or through MQTT

More here :

Or here when you re-route datas already available in homeassistant as states

Okay then, let me try these, thanks.

Did you finally manage to understand how to route data to the emoncms inputs ? Normally it is quite simple if you have a certain knowledge of MQTT and of rest API. It's far less complicated than finding your way into grafana for example...

Yes, I did get it to work. So I had to use the MQTT statestream integration, and then I got your addon to communicate with it. Thanks a lot.
