Add 'Unmonitored Energy' to energy dashboard individual devices

Feature Requests
1

To better understand the usage of energy in the home I have a number of devices with smartplugs. The scale of you usage gets more apparent when there is also an overview of the amount of used energy that is not monitored. I have a manual solution to that (a template sensor which subtracts all the monitored devices from the total consumption). This is very prone to errors as I need to add all new smartplugs manually. I would really like to be able to enable/disable this sensor in the energy dashboard config.

  - platform: template
    sensors:
      unmonitored_energy:
        friendly_name: Unmonitored Energy
        value_template: >
          {{ ((states('sensor.energy_consumption_tarif_1') | float) + (states('sensor.energy_consumption_tarif_2') | float)) -

fully support this suggestion and what would make it even better is to include a % of total per item

I use this template to sum all my energy sensors:

{{ states.sensor 
   | selectattr('object_id', 'search', '(_energy)$')
   | rejectattr('state', 'in', ['unavailable', 'unknown'])
   | map(attribute='state') | map('float', none)
   | reject('==', none)
   | sum | round(2) }}

@mdehaas An old thread I stumbled on.
Do you use the Riemann Integration for the tracking of energy of the individual plugs?
If so, I tried your suggestion but I get a weird total of unmonitored energy consumption as if I use the current readings of the meter (with the P1-meter) then the total almost matches the total of the meter. :slight_smile:
What am I doing wrong?

Update: O, I guess it should actually work only I can’t add the sensor I created as an individual device in HA. My sensor looks like this:

  - sensor:
      - name: Niet gemonitorde electriciteit
        state: >
          {{ ((states('sensor.totale_stroom_verbruik') | float)) -
            (states('sensor.gemonitorde_electriciteit') | float)
          }}
        device_class: energy
        unit_of_measurement: kWh

And totale_stroom_verbruik is:

   - sensor:
      - name: 'Totale stroom verbruik'
        unit_of_measurement : "kWh"
        state: "{{ (states('sensor.p1_meter_total_power_import_t1') |round(1, default=0)  + states('sensor.p1_meter_total_power_import_t2') | round(1, default=0) - states('sensor.p1_meter_total_power_export_t1') |round(1, default=0)  - states('sensor.p1_meter_total_power_export_t2') | round(1, default=0)) | round(1, default=0)  }} "

and monitored electricty is

  - sensor:
      - name: Gemonitorde electriciteit
        state: >
          {{ states.sensor
             | selectattr('object_id', 'match', 'totaalverbruik_plug_')
             | rejectattr('state', 'in', ['unavailable', 'unknown'])
             | map(attribute='state') | map('float', none)
             | reject('==', none)
             | sum | round(2) }}
        unit_of_measurement: kWh
        icon: mdi:flash

Update: after being away for a few hours I decided to give it another try to get the Unmonitored-sensor in the energy-dashboard but couldn’t be chosen. After putting a line state_class: total in the sensor I could add it but although the value increases the bar remains empty.

Another update: a couple of minutes later the bar started to progress.
