2021.8.0: Feel the energy ⚡️

Statistics Graph and Energy Graph does not accept utility_meter sensors as sources. Some MQTT sensors are also not accepted. Does somebody see similar issues?

Eneco Toon sensors not supported in the new energy management system? :pensive:

I got the same issue. Actually the sensors created with Utility Meter are not listed in the entities list anymore, new sensors with “_consumption” as postfix added. Eg. before upgrading “sensor.daily_energy”, after upgrading “sensor.daily_energy_consumption”

Yes they are, the official Toon integration of Home Assistant does. It was actually one of the first integration to add support back in May (as I use it myself) :grimacing:

The Honeywell Total Connect Comfort (US) only detects one of two of my thermostats. I had it manually configured in config.yaml but the new integration takes over and there is no way to detect my 2nd thermostat.

So I’d love to use the new energy reporting! However I’m unable to configure my Aeon Labs DSB09. There are no ZWave(JS) configuration parameters listed, which are needed to setup reporting.

This is the listing from the ZWave JS DB browser:
https://devices.zwave-js.io/?jumpTo=0x0086:0x0002:0x0009:0.0

Where is the best place to report this?

I have a problem with the utility meters too:

Me too. The sensor naming seems to have changed. Stuff is mixed up. Issue with the new energy stuff as well. Utility meter sensors are not accepted. Do wee need a bug report?

Got the energy dashboard up and running (though I had to make some sensors to get it going as a lot of mine didn’t appear to be supported) One thing I’d like to see is the option to add a standing charge to the daily cost - in the UK this is how pretty much all tariffs operate - there is a flat daily charge and then the price per kwh.
It would also be much better if I could use the utility meter I have set up for grid usage.
Edit: After a reboot my utility meter entities have just randomly appeared as selectable - not sure why but at least that’s working now.

Same here, would be helpful

Really like the update, I also got the Energy Dashboard up and running and it looks very good!! One thing I would love to see in the future is Solar System battery support. If that would be incorporated in the Energy Distrbution card and also in the calculations, that would be awesome…!

Should zigbee sockets with a power meter (like TS0121) appear on the new Energy dashboard? I can only add wifi sockets.

The EV Easee charger integration (HACS) doesn’t work anymore

This update has broken my HomeKit which has stopped working. I unpaired it, deleted the config and re added to re pair but it is not showing in Home app to pair.

Yes I would think so.
What bugs me the most is I lose all my history…
Are your Utility Meters renamed too?

Yes, I had the same issues.

Damn, you are right. Just controlled the homekit app and can confirm so far.

That’s weird; I am running 30 utility meters (10 real meters and then an utility meter for daily, monthly and yearly statistics) and they all appear to be fine.

Here is what happened:

Example Config:
utility_meter:
power_server_monthly:
name: Server Strom Monatlich
source: sensor.tasmota2_energy_today
cycle: monthly

Before the Sensor name was: sensor.power_server_monthly

Now it ist: sensor.Server.Strom.Monatlich

what is the normal behaviour?

I am using the official Toon integration, the new power management system does not recognize the original Toon entities.

Default Toon entity names:

sensor.current_power_usage
sensor.energy_usage_today
sensor.energy_cost_today
