Perfect, thanks for the update!

not sure - this is part of core now i’m pretty sure…

No need to be “pretty sure” - just check.

Since to update to 2024.9 I seem to have an issue with Switchbot devices going offline, then online. Also all my Xiaomi BLE devices show offline. I can see in the history logs that all the Xiaomi devices literally stopped at the time 2024.9 was installed.
Is this a bluetooth problem as both things I am having issues with use bluetooth?
And all was fine before 2024.9

Thanks

I see it reported ok, but how is it fixed ?
I have the same issue on an iPad Pro used as panel.

gree integration is still not fixed it was broken in version 2024.8

Confirmed no issues prior to 2024.9
Reverted to backup of 2024.8, no more dropouts in switchbot integration and all Xiaomi BLE devices are back online

I did - I was trying to be polite…

I really like the idea of the untracked consumption, but really hoping we can get nested devices added - would be very helpful if people have multi-levels of monitoring (especially those with individual power circuit monitoring, and then monitoring under that on devices)

I have power from my provider - PECO. But it takes three days before I get it. So, I want to add a direct monitor like the Emporia. This way I can compare what PECO measures to what I measure. I have no idea if HA can handle this.

HIVE Integration is broken in 2024.9 and 2024.9.1 I cannot turn on the hot water from the integration getting a not available response. Rolling back to before 2024.9 and it all works totally fine.

hm… haven’t seen it listed on the integrations page when I checked…
Maybe, I had a typo ?.. sorry :slight_smile:

Pay Post a GitHub issue.

I am not sure if it will work. Seems like it needs piping to add multiple grid entities and individuals are limited to 5.
I will check it out though and see if it can be modified to support all functions :slight_smile:

It is possible, but have to admit a bit cumbersome to achieve with several template helpers to ensure everything is grouped.

That would be awesome to have! That is a great use case, could be used to help monitor each main curcuit to use for balancing, so could have a CT-clamp for each fuse, while still having power monitoring on individual devices too.

True, and I thought about doing something like that. But it kind of defeats the point of dedicated Energy dashboards and charts if you need a dozend helpers to feed them :slight_smile:

Agree, with Sankey chart you could customize what you want to see and especially there you have option to show uncategorized consumption.
I’ve done it for the power consumption. the chart is to be read from left to right:

  • solar power
  • all sources, these could be
    • solar power
    • grid
      *battery
  • total incoming power (total of all sources)
  • big consumers
    • house
    • EV Charger
    • grid
    • battery
  • consumer groups in the house
    • including ‘no category’
  • groups and details


I translated the important pieces. Most interesting part in this context is “no category” (Anderes) which is the power consumed in the “house” not having any further details.

Update to Hive not working with this release for my install. I figured out why the Hive integration was not working for me. Just in case anyone else is interested. It’s nothing to do with the release it was because I have Adguard Home Installed and under DNS settings I have a massive list of Disallowed domains, as I feel they shouldn’t be allowed to keep calling home when Home Assistant has taken over the job, there is absolutely no need for Hive or Hue to send any packets outside of my network. So I block certain domains to stop this and had to unblock them to allow the Hive integration to update properly.

These are the domains that belong to Hue/Hive that I block…
// Hue/Hive
// diag.meethue.com
// data.meethue.com
// provision.meethue.com
// diagnostics.meethue.com
// www.ecdinterface.philips.com
// fv30mvjbk9.execute-api.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com
// sts.amazonaws.com
// c3t5k8kx91jab4.credentials.iot.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com

Hue is just as bad, every couple of months my lights will all start getting really slow to respond and that’s when I know there’s an update for the Hue Hub, it cries when it can’t reach home thinks the service is no longer active (or they just turn it off because I’m not sharing any diagnostics for their nosy ass statistics any more), so I have to again go in to disallowed and unblock all the Hue domains so the hub can talk to home again and update itself, then I go back in and send it dark till next time. Which works perfectly fine for both Hive and Hue so I really don’t see why they should be allowed to use me for their stats. Which reminds me I need to go uncomment those domains again.

Thanks again all good for me anyways :smiley:

Would be cool if could somehow also simplify visualization of a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) like example the Tesla Powerwall on the Home Assistant energy dashboard. Those type of home energy storage devices can of course in turn get their power from the grid, solar or other source.
