Adding Cooling to Energy Dashboard

Feature Requests

At the moment the standard Energy dashboard includes Gas for heating but it doesn’t have a feature for cooling.

In many modern urban environments with plenty of apartment buildings households are connected to ‘Stadsverwarming’ and Hot-Cold-Sources (e.g. Rotterdam, NL). This enables apartments to get heating in the winters and cooling in the summers (often electrically, in my case measured in GJ per year).

I wish there was a way to add cooling to the Energy dashboard. Perhaps this could already be done by making the restrictions of Gas in the dashboard less strict.

Do you have the same issue? Let me know.
Have you solved this problem already in the UI? Let me know how, so I can implement it too.

Extra context:
I’m currently developing a custom integration to retrieve the Energy Consumption data from my energy supplier, and want to make it fit in the Energy dashboard.

AC is using electricity. So installing outlet with electricity meter does the trick. The only thing that is lack off is individual graph that will display it separately.

Dear Daniel,
Thank you for your comment.
Unfortunately this is not an AC (I wish I had actual AC).
It’s a floor heater in the concrete of the floor that can both heat up and cool down. The floor heater is connected to a controller next to the meter box in the utility closet. As far as I’m aware, there is not a power plug for the system I can put an energy monitoring socket on.
