Hello Home assistant community ,
usually when i think of something to do in home assistant , i can always find somebody in the forum that asked the question before me , but not this time ,
Since the release of the new energy management update , i ordered a shellyEM and several smart plug with power consumption monitoring.
But there are some devices , that are very fixed load , like bulb or my tv for example.
When my tv is ON , she as a load of 210W .
So if i’m not too rusty in electricity , that mean 0.210kwh per hours the tv is ON , or 3.5Wh each minute the tv (device_tracker.aa_bb_cc_dd_ee) is ON ,
i would like a tip to add this device to the energy usage panel without using a smart plug.
i hope this is doable.
I am looking into this, I want to make a few virtual devices with a fixed power consumption. I accept an average power consumption, just to narrow down my ‘untracked energy’ which is quite a lot at the moment.
The first one is a fridge. It’s always on, doesn’t have anything smart.
The second one is something that is turned on and off a lot, it has a fixed energy use but I want it only to track when it is on, obviously.
