Is there any way to append a property onto the data stream of a zwave based sensor? Each sensor has its main value and then has other properties like the unit_of_measure, friendly_name, node_id, etc.
My use case is that I have Home Assistant for a number of things in our house, one of them is for Aeotec Home Energy Meters on a couple items, like EV charger, solar panel hookup, grid input, etc. I also have all the sensors exported to InfluxDB for some graphing with Grafana.
What I’d like to do is append the sensor value with the current utility rate. This would be a little bit cleaner than defining a separate sensor template, since the cost is dependent on the rate rather than the current value, so can do that calculation in influx an additional field for the conversion.
If anyone knows a good way, I’d appreciate it. Otherwise likely going to be customizing the influxdb component, or have an outside process read and update the records.
