That did the trick … completed missed it…
Thanks
Has anyone been able to get the autoconfigure to work?
My Energy Distribution has a fair start, so I thought it would work well with autoconfigure.
However, when I try the code from the Sankey Chart Card github page;
- type: custom:sankey-chart
# ...any other options
autoconfig:
print_yaml: true # optional
# any additional autoconfig options (listed below)
All that I get is;
Here is what it looks like in edit mode;
I’m looking to take advantage of the print_yaml that “Prints the auto generated configuration after the card so you can use it as a starting point for customization.”
Does anyone have this working, and if so, where am I messing up?
i did the same thing and used the printed yaml. worked fine. let me try a new one.
Edit.
It worked fine again.
new card, sankey, enable print yaml, save. that’s it
I don’t have a battery or low carbon FYI

I’m trying to show how consumption splits into the categories of Transportation (EV charging) and Home (residence), the latter of which splits into Space Heating, Kitchen, and later others once I get some of it working.
So far, the entities are showing up, though no lines are visible.

Any mistakes jump out at anyone?
And I have tried multiple approaches to getting passthrough working;
-
Default (no explicit entry)
-
Adding passthrough entries in the column they are to ‘passthrough’
-
Labeling them as passthrough in the final ‘leaf’ column (didn’t expect this to work but tried it anyway.
Currently the most recent code for the Sankey chart (below) that follows #2 approach above has the following error (though the juicebox sensor exists, is populated, ahd has been showing up);
Error: Invalid entity config {“type”:“passthrough”,“children”:[{“entity_id”:“sensor.juicebox_energy_added”}],“entity_id”:“sensor.juicebox_energy_added”}

Update to above, determined and resolved the issue. See Update 2 for further issues.
I had incorrectly listed children entities starting with “entity_id:” which is incorrect. My chart now on this mostly rainy/cloudy/snowy day with the woodstove going;

Now I can proceed adding all the other appliances and circuits I am (and will be) tracking, as well as figuring out the right was to use remaining_parent_state.
Update 2: Alas, the inability to create daily-resetting energy entities seems to be messing up the daily values in the chart. And changing a template from kWh to Wh to get all the algorithm components in the same measurement unit doesn’t seem to actually change the range, it just messes up the value. For example, Transportation_Consumption should be 22Wh instead of 22,000 Wh, which the History shows, which is not reflected in the value in the chart.
So I will likely have to start from scratch if I ever find a way to create daily-resetting energy entities, and advise anyone looking at my chart code above to avoid relying on it for hints and clues.
is there a way to combine 2 separate parts?
my dryer for example, is 240v so uses both lines. it would be great for it to show half from Line1 half from Line 2
You can have it as a child of both but it won’t be split in half. It will be mostly random.
You can create 2 templates in HA “Dryer half 1” & “Dryer half 2” and have “Dryer” as a child of those but that would add new layer where the halves are combined.
Once #8 is done you would be able to do this without an extra layer but you would still need the template entities to say how much comes from each line.
yeah, the visual there, where its selected as a child for each, isnt clear. it makes Other1 small, and leaves the Other2 big (instead of equal out of both) so i ended up creating 2 new entities for each in iotawatt (same idea as the template sensor).
so now i have Line 1, Line 2, BothLines 240v. and then now that subtract works, i subtracted the half of each from both of the Others, and uses the full entity under BothLines
i think you are right about #8 but for now my solution seems to look and feel fine. thanks for the reply. wasnt sure if there was some better way to do it.
Success! After a number of trial and error attempts, I noticed the card I had tried the Autoconfig with now showed a good bit of data (no longer simply failing);
Upon examination of the yaml code, I picked up a number of very helpful hints. While the grid import and export did not show up correctly, I figured out how to adjust those. One template calculation I added is
sensor.total_energy_consumed
And instead of arranging my loads by area, I arranged them by function;

I’ll be adding more sensors to chase down other yet-unmonitored consumption. And I will see if I can add another layer for Home for a clean classification to provide the Home and Transportation categories
The monthly view checks out well;
I very much appreciate the efforts that @MindFreeze has undertaken to provide this capability!

I’ve updated the chart to cleanly delineate what is Transportation and what is Home energy consumption, to see how close I am to residential net-zero (or beyond). Still have some circuits/outlets to meter/monitor and may still find some phantom loads (or ones requiring better oversight). This is a very helpful tool to keep track of electrical energy consumption, can’t say enough nice things about what @MindFreeze has done with this specialty chart!
We had been painted indoors that day, so the Heat Recovery Ventilator was on high for about 48 hours, otherwise just comes on low about an hour every day.

Card works ok when using energy, no matter if 3 of 5 sections.
But when using power the connections get lost quite often.
I’m not yet sure if that’s a result that the card isn’t catching up state changes in time or something like that. I doubt this being the case since the machine idles more or less means it’s surely not related to an extensice load. Any chance one could force the card checking values? Sort of an update_interval as known from ESPhome sensors?
Values are always updated but the client browser can get overloaded with frequent updates and stutter. Try using the throttle option to limit updates.

ups … that was an easy one, it solved the issue straight.
May I ask another thing.Would you mind updating the readme on github? I recently stumbled across a “remaining:” which I wasn’t aware of simply because not being documented. The one to be placed right below the chidrens.
I do fear I likely missed all the 99 dead cool options which are undocumented aswell 
Remaining is deprecated and will be removed in a future version. Only works for backwards compatibility. type: remaining_parent_state is the correct way of doing the same thing.
Love this card and this thread has been very helpful to getting this far. One frustrating issue I cannot seem to overcome is color blending and how to make sure the final entities carry the correct color from the parent. No matter what I do, I can’t seem to alter the final blue color and this results in some harsh lines which you can see most clearly in the ‘Second Floor Load’ branch. Anyone have this issue or know what might be causing it? Thank you in advance!

You just have to specify color for all relevant entities. So use the long form with entity_id: and color: instead of just listing the entity id.
Also everyone please stop using remaning:. It is deprecated. Use type: remaining_parent_state instead. There are examples in the README.

Since you re-newed the information about remaining: (I removed it straight after your recently given explanation) 2 times within 1 week 
, may I suggest you mention this on your github, best bet using RED BOLD text saying deprecated or something like that?
Poeple like me tend to a) read the options but also b) look in here for example YAML to get started.
Thank you, appreciate the reply! Incredible work on this. I grabbed ‘remaining’ from earlier messages in this thread without checking the docs on it so thanks for that too.
Updated chart looks much better.
