I miss the possibility of setting up an energy sensor for consumption, for example from sunset to sunrise. The possibility of setting up daily sensors, monthly sensors etc. is not quite there. I would like to measure how my consumption last night e.g. from 5:00 p.m. to 9:00 a.m. the next morning.
How can you do something like this?
Hi Stefan , Judging by your Topic Header, and your other few Topics Created
I will “also” here post the link to some very important notes, and help/tips
How to help us help you - or How to ask a good question.
Beside recommend you to use the search function, in top right corner
- First step would be, buy a “meter” (and provide info in regards to this Device)
- either use it’s sensors, or create additional template-sensors, or read the output of your meter sensor in a graph-card
That’s about what i can suggest, based on the info(lack of info) you provide
You do it with utility meter tariffs and an automation. See:
I did all my setup of counting daily and monthly with utility helpers and one automation.
4 utility meter (daily day, daily night, monthly day, monthly night) to count
ie:
sensor.energy_daily_sun_split_day
state_class: total

status: collecting
last_period: 0.2
last_valid_state: 11945.3
meter_period: hourly
cron pattern: 0 * * * *
tariff: day
last_reset: 2024-05-24T11:00:00.014525+00:00
unit_of_measurement: kWh
