I’m on the Octopus Agile Tariff and so am getting variable prices each half hour. I can get these values from:
sensor.octopus_energy_electricity_**************_current_rate
I am also getting the grand total energy used from an RTL_433 MQTT integration and this comes in as:
sensor.total_power_consumption_cm180
How do I create a gauge card to show the live total daily cost of energy based on the two sensors listed above?
There should already be a sensor that will provide the daily total for both gas and electricity cost and consumption if you wish.
Something like:
Daily Electricity Cost Total
sensor.octopus_energy_electricity_xxxxxx_xxxxxxxxx_current_accumulative_cost
Daily Gas Cost Total
sensor.octopus_energy_gas_xxxxxx_xxxxxxxxx_current_accumulative_cost
Daily Gas Comsumption Total (m3)
sensor.octopus_energy_gas_xxxxxx_xxxxxxxxxx_current_accumulative_consumption_m3
Daily Gas Comsumption Total (Kwh)
sensor.octopus_energy_gas_xxxxxx_xxxxxxxxxx_current_accumulative_consumption_kwh
Daily Electricity Consumption Total
sensor.octopus_energy_electricity_xxxxxx_xxxxxxxxxx_current_accumulative_consumption
Create an entry in the dashboard as a sensor, gauge or statistical graph and then you can drill in to it and it will plot historically.
