Add Forecast History to the Energy Dashboard

We took a look around the forum and didn’t see this reported as a bug or an issue. we are pretty sure this is not a bug, just perhaps an oversight of an edge case.

We would like to see the option of keeping the forecast prediction for solar in the history in our energy dashboard.

Right now when using the forecast.solar integration with the dashboard, we can only see forecasts on the day of and the next day. If you try and look at what was forecasted more than a day ago, the data is no longer in the energy dashboard once the day is over. It would be nice to have the option to retain these forecasts so we can see how well our system is performing vs the forecasts over time to help spot issues, trends, or to help us tweak our forecast settings for more accurate forecasts over time.

Thank you! Love the dashboard and all the work everyone has been putting in. Thanks!

The Energy dashboard calls a service to obtain the forecast for the current and next day. I believe this data is also stored in a sensor: sensor.energy_current_hour. This historical data could be merged with the future estimates that the service call returns.

These depend of forecast.solar integration.

If you use Solcast integration, it keep prediction for a year (and get a most accuracy prediction :wink: )
