Also how are your external loads not powered from one of your three phases?
I’m using Sheely 3EM to measure energy consumption, but unfortunatelly I did not have enough space to install it next to main grid connection (or rather I have not enough space to install clamps), instead it is installed in main fuses box inside the house. That means that connection to garage (which is other building) is made before place where I can make measurements. So external represents everything that is installed in garage or powered from garage building. Technically it is one of these 3 phases, but Im just not capturing consumption on this part of installation. As such I’m using Powercalc to estimate consumption there.

Just installed the card and I have an issue with the child entities:
The code used is as follows:
- type: custom:sankey-chart
show_names: true
sections:
- entities:
- entity_id: sensor.counter_appt_overall_power_l2
children:
- sensor.bw_br_washer_power
- sensor.bw_corridor_meas_power
- entities:
- sensor.bw_kitchen_coffeemachine_power
- sensor.bw_kitchen_dishwasher_power
What is shows is only the parent entity like on screenshot, others are ignored. Maybe somebody can advice what can cause this?
@tom_I Would you like to share your code for your card? It looks really nice.
Because your level 2 section entities are different than one specified as children in section 1…
Though it is a biot strange, as they SHOULD show, but disconnected from section one sensor…
I use the Sidebar view option for the extra width and I also use the Sankey chart card inside an entities card (using custom hui-element) so that the theme matches my other cards. Otherwise the native title option of the Sankey card would require extensive card-mod work as it does not follow the same structure as the core cards.

Thanks, that provided sufficient clues on the card code structure. Now it works!
2 new questions:
- can we name children? Didn’t find anything
- this is my config:
type: custom:sankey-chart
show_names: true
height: 400
round: 2
wide: true
sections:
- entities:
- entity_id: sensor.shelly_3em_power_total
name: Watt_total
remaining:
name: Other
children:
- sensor.espressomaschine_power
- sensor.server_power
- sensor.heizung_strom_power
- sensor.studio_power_2
- sensor.kuhlmess_power
- sensor.freezer_power
- sensor.tv_power
- sensor.trockner_power
- sensor.spulmaschine_power
- sensor.wallbox_watt
- entities:
- entity_id: sensor.server_power
name: Server
remaining:
name: Other
children:
- sensor.ups_watt
- entities:
- sensor.espressomaschine_power
- sensor.server_power
- sensor.heizung_strom_power
- sensor.studio_power_2
- sensor.kuhlmess_power
- sensor.freezer_power
- sensor.tv_power
- sensor.trockner_power
- sensor.spulmaschine_power
- sensor.wallbox_watt
works fine in general, but not the children part. sensor.ups_watt should be a child of sensor.server_power, but the “remaining” “other” part is never shown. Instead it looks like this
Is it because sensor.ups_watt is not a sensor, but a template? (excuse me if using the wrong nomenclature). Everywhere else sensor.ups_watt works fine.
in configuration.yaml it is defines like this:
- sensor:
- name: "UPS_Watt"
unique_id: UPS_Watt
state: >-
{{ (states('sensor.myups_output_voltage')|float(0) * states('sensor.myups_output_current')|float(0))}}
unit_of_measurement: W
device_class: power
state_class: measurement
I think everything that is listed under children needs to also be listed again later under an - entities. That should also let you name the children.

Really like this card as well!
Only thing I am struggling is with the coulouring scheme. Could anyone give me a hint how to use it?
I am used to Hex, RGB or CMYK, but never encountered this (var--xyz) scheme…
You don’t have to use that format for the color - you can stick to the simpler color: blue type settings. If you want a more specific color or only colors in certain circumstances then you can get fancier with it.

Those are color variables defined in the theme.yaml. Here is example f this file content:
dark-background: "#1C1E2E" #var(--dark-background)
medium-background: "#242635" #var(--medium-background)
light-background: "#2C2E3C" #var(--light-background)
components-background: "#242635" #var(--components-background)
bright-text: "#ffffff" #var(--bright-text)
dimmed-text: "#A4A7B4" #var(--dimmed-text)
dark-text: "#444856" #var(--dark-text)
cyan-text: "#1bbfff" #var(--cyan-text)
alert-text: "#CD1015" #var(--alert-text)
The first column shows actual definitions of different interface components, the second one displays as comment variable to be used to use specific color in the UI. For this matter you can define in your theme additional colors, that are not specific to UI elements, but also can be used same way. Here is sample of color palette I’m using in my theme:
orange1: "#F5A624"
orange2: "#DBBC09"
orange3: "#AB6D09"
orange4: "#784E07"
orange5: "#452F05"
orange6: "#121003"
Please note that not all cards accpt variables as color definition, though…

Thanks a lot! Now I understand the sysstem.
Did anyone got it working with the children naming?
Tried it with different options via the children part or in the entities part, but nothing seems to work (or is miss something).
For example:
children:
- sensor.shellyplug01_power
name: test plug
- sensor.shellyplug02_power
- sensor.shellyplug03_power
- sensor.shellyplug04_power
- sensor.shellyplug05_power
- entities:
- sensor.shellyplug01_power
name: test plug
- sensor.shellyplug02_power
- sensor.shellyplug03_power
- sensor.shellyplug04_power
- sensor.shellyplug05_power
The names will always go under the - entity_id: sensor.my_sensor.
Here’s my current config, hopefully it’ll be a bit clearer:
type: custom:sankey-chart
title: Realtime Power
show_names: true
min_box_height: 8
sections:
- entities:
- entity_id: sensor.breaker_panel_electric_consumption_w
name: Total
children:
- sensor.network_rack_electric_consumption_w
- sensor.cam_plug_power
- sensor.washer_electric_consumption_w
- sensor.smart_bulbs_power
remaining:
name: All Others
- entities:
- entity_id: sensor.washer_electric_consumption_w
name: Washer
- entity_id: sensor.network_rack_electric_consumption_w
name: Network Rack
children:
- sensor.idrac_host1_powerconsumption
- sensor.idrac_host2_powerconsumption
- sensor.idrac_host3_powerconsumption
remaining:
name: Other Network
- entity_id: sensor.cam_plug_power
name: Driveway Cam
- entity_id: sensor.smart_bulbs_power
- entities:
- entity_id: sensor.idrac_host1_powerconsumption
name: Host 1
- entity_id: sensor.idrac_host2_powerconsumption

- entity_id: sensor.idrac_host3_powerconsumption

Just starting to play with this amazing looking card, but not getting the fill in effect and flow displaying. I’ve tweaked my sensors so that they’re all in a similar range of each other, in case the line couldn’t be drawn because of huge variation in value, but I can’t get it to display the flows.

@Fayrewood wherever you have a sensor listed as a child, you also have to list it again under a subsequent -entities and - entity_id:. Also, it doesn’t look like you have your fridges listed as children anywhere, so you’ll need to add those in as children under one of the other entities.

Hi Tom.
This is a fantastic (!) layout and exactly what I’m trying to establish. Are each of the cards in the screenshot above a separate sankey card in the dashboard view, or is it a single sankey card with code?
