The `dlms_meter` component connects to smart meters which use the **DLMS/COSEM** protocol over UART. These
smart meters are (for example) widely deployed in Austria.

**An M-Bus to UART adapter is required.** You must also request the 32‑character hexadecimal decryption key from your
energy provider / grid operator.

This component is passive; it does not transmit data to the meter. The meter periodically broadcasts frames (often
about every 5 seconds). ESPHome listens, decrypts and updates the configured sensors as data arrives.

### Configuration Variables

- **decryption_key** (**Required**, string, 32 hex chars, case-insensitive, templatable): Key used to decrypt DLMS telegrams.
- **decryption_key** (*Optional*, string, 32 hex chars, case-insensitive, templatable): Key used to decrypt DLMS telegrams.
Obtain this from your provider / grid operator.
- **provider** (*Optional*): Grid operator profile. Options:
- `generic` (default) – works for most operators.
- `netznoe` – Netz Noe / EVN specific mapping.
- **transport** (*Optional*): Transport protocol. Options:
- `mbus` (default) – M-Bus over UART.
- `raw` – Raw DLMS frames over UART.
