  queried 2026-09-05
description: >-
  CenterPoint Energy publishes no first-party client library on any registry, and neither does Smart Meter
  Texas. Neither organisation operates a public GitHub organisation carrying SDK source. Every package
  below is a third-party community client written against the Smart Meter Texas consumer portal, and is
  recorded here as an abandonment / substitution signal rather than as provider-published tooling: the
  only maintained way to call this surface from code is code somebody else wrote, unaffiliated with the
  utility or the platform.

      "Package to connect to and retrieve data from the unofficial Smart Meter Texas API" — the author's
      own summary. It drives the consumer web portal, not the credentialed services.smartmetertexas.net
      Data Access interface documented in the SMT Interface Guide, so it is a different surface as well as
      a different author.
    note: >-
      Last release 2024-04-27, more than two years before this check and predating nothing in particular —
      no dated platform release exists to compare it against, because SMT publishes no changelog. Recorded
      as third-party; contributes no sdk_count credit to CenterPoint Energy.

  present: false
  note: >-
    The SMT Data Access Interface Guide distributes no code — integration is described in prose and the
    caller writes their own HTTPS client with a signed certificate. No sample client, Postman collection or
    reference implementation is published. No SDKs pointer is emitted in apis.yml, because a provider that
    ships no library must not be credited with one.
