Add a standing charge option to Energy Dashboard meters

[callumw]

Many countries have a minimum daily charge then the cost of fuel consumed on top.

There are some quirky DIY ways I’ve seen where people create virtual meters that count the cost over a whole day, but it would be so much easier if it was directly available in the energy dashboard.

e.g. 44p standing charge + 28p per Kw consumed.
If 15Kw is used then (15*28)+40 = £4.60 total

Energy fixed costs

In some places, the energy bill have a “fixed cost” that not depend of energy usage. Adding a new “cost row” not associate to any energy meter can be useful to get a more real cost. I emulate this using a dummy sensor with 0 fixed value and total cost entity (Potencia y cuota) [image] It works fine, but is very “ugly” show 0kwh. Adding a new option “others cost” option and adding them before the total could be more clean. Example mockup: [image] [image]
