Hello everyone,
I am having a hard time understanding of how I should configure this the best way:
I am having a sensor available to me, which represents the daily production of my Solar Panels in kWh
The sensor is obviously not what I need for the energy dashboard because it is set to 0 at Midnight.
Is there something like a reverse Utility meter which can sum the values over time?
I already found this post: Calculate cumulative total sensor from daily total sensor - #5 by matys but wanted to know if there is another (better) way to do this.
Thanks to everyone trying to help

What is the reason, that you have only that one sensor? Mostly you will get more different sensors…
Sadly, this thing is so old, the Web-UI only displays this value (in a usable way).
The total production is also visible, but the unit is MWh. So, there is no change of this value on a Winter-Day

Have you tried using it?
I’m reasonably sure the energy dashboard can handle that.
Alternatively feed your sensor to a utility meter without a cycle specified. It will ignore the resets to 0 and keep counting up forever.

Hey Tom,
thank you so much for this Idea.
I’ll try (both ideas) and update you tomorrow

SORRY for the late Reply, I totally forgot about this
Thank you so much @tom_l : Exactly as you imagined, it is just working as it should be. (Even if set to 0 at midnight).
Hi,
in my case it doesn’t works.
The utility meter restarts the counter at midnight:
