Hi,
I just updated to 2021.8.0 and I get this error and cannot reboot. Anyone can tell what I have to look for?

ok, found the source to my error.
I had defined panel_iframe and of course the name of the panel WAS “energy” :slight_smile:

@frenck Is there any documentation on how to configure the cost per kWh? In the part of the US, I live my costs change depending on the month. So I am not sure how I can set this up.

anyone uses the energy thing with p1mon that works? :slight_smile:

106

I’m guessing it will be fixed shortly. Probably a slight bug with enumeration of thermostats in the list.

108

Can the UI folks perhaps consider the ability to change/add columns, say in the Devices/Entities lists in Config? It would be helpful to see things like Node ID.

Alarm Decoder binary sensors stop working after upgrade to 2021.8.0. State changes are not detected. Tried deleting and adding zones back, but still no luck. Alarm Panel shows that it is connected (shield with green check). Downgrading to 2021.7.4 resolved behavior with binary sensors, state changes are recognized again and automations work.

OMG, I just installed a Shelly 3EM last weekend! Score!

And I’ve been waiting for the siren integration for a while. Excellent work on this release!

Please, give the opportunity to set the approximate consumption of light.

The Energy is a very nice feature together with long-term statistics. Would it be possible to add Gas and/or water usage to the long-term statistics?

Turning off IPv6 on the host (in my case Synology DS) fixed the issue.

Changing template format to new style is not the solution:

template:

  • sensor:
    • name: “PV Energia send”
      state: “{{(states(‘sensor.shelly_pv_channel_a_power’)|float + states(‘sensor.shelly_pv_channel_b_power’)|float + states(‘sensor.shelly_pv_channel_c_power’)|float) | round(0)}}”
      unit_of_measurement: “W”
      state_class: measurement

This is really weird decision because sensor data is not 100% ready for UI. In most cases I use template to postprocess data from sensors - read CSV bulk data and parse it into separate values in template. Does support for templates is in nearest roadmap?

IMHO functionality like DB cleanup and data aggregation for long term storage should be part of the core functionality. Aggregation per hour is good, but what about daily, monthly and yearly aggregation? Would it be possible to setup attribute to indicate frequency of aggregation? For example attribute like {hours=24, days=5,month=1} will indicate HA to store sensor values for 24 hour, hourly values for last 5 days, daily value for current month, all monthly values.

Some thoughts was published here - Anyone interested in a reports for Utility Meter? ...or maybe historical sensor value? - #11 by palivoda

Good effort. @frenck and team for the wonderful release.

118

Same here.

119

I agree, long term data storage should be part of the core functionality. That is why I am exited about this update, it seems like we are headed in that direction.

I did not enter a Header Name for my energy integration and now it looks like this

and I cannot change it. Somebody knows how to change?

Hey everyone,
I ran “Check Home Assistant configuration” before updating from 2021.7.4 to 2021.8.1.
It gives me the following error and I cant find any reference to it:

What do I do? should I upgrade or wait for a fix?

This issue disappeared. Presumably a caching issue.
