A while ago, I was looking for a way to derive current consumption from my UPSes that do not offer that and I think templates are the way to go. I am NOT a programmer and I got about half of it done but I want to use two values.
The formula is (1500VA * output load) / voltage.
My output load comes in the form of a percentage so I am thinking that since something like 16% is 0.16, I could move the decimal point two spots to the left and multiply
(15 * output load in percentage) and divide by the voltage.
So, I created this part but I do not know how to add that second operation to the formula to determine current consumption.
Voltage: sensor.kah_ups01_input_voltage
Output Load:|sensor. kah_ups01_output_load
{{ states('sensor.kah_ups01_output_load') | float(0) * 15}} gets me that 240 I would get when I multiply 1500VA * 16%. I just used the communitive property of multiplication to reverse it so percentage * 1500 and divided each side by 100 since 16% is 0.16 so it is 16 * the 15 hundred volt-amps.
I just do not know how to take that and divide it by “sensor.kah_ups01_input_voltage”
