An Energy Dashboard Card

Energy Dashboard

Hello all! I’ve been noodling around with Home Assistant for a while, mostly lurking trying to wrap my head around everything. Which led me to deciding to integrate my Savant Power Relays into HASS (that project is definitely still a work in progress; it reads the energy usage fine but still working through the control aspect), and that led me to wanting to be able to visualize different relays usage over time, so thats where we are now!

I wanted something that would auto-populate all the power (and energy) entities i have in HASS, and make it easy to select and visualize them over time. I wanted it to be simple and easy to setup, but still tuck away some finer controls for the visualization. There are quite a few settings in the card configuration that allow for things like permanently filtering out entities, auto selection number, etc so make sure to check those out when you’re setting it up.

I’ve made the first stable release of my energy dashboard, and it works pretty cleanly for me, but I wanted to put it out there in case there’s anyone else that wants to use it or if there is a large use case. Shout-out to the ApexChartCard folks for their great work that made this possible.

Made for HACS, so just add it as a custom repository (Dashboard), and then you should find the two cards (entity and chart) when you go to add it to your dashboard. Each is setup to be configured through the configuration UI, so no custom yaml should be required.

Check it out if its something that interests you! Always open to any feedback or issues if you’re having them.

Example of the two cards:
