I recently bought an Orbit B-hyve smart hose faucet timer which tracks water usage via an attribute (“Consumption gallons” in the screenshot below). However, this attribute doesn’t reset until the next time I open the valve. I’d like to be able track the water usage per-hour and the Utility Meter helper seemed like the perfect way to do this but I can’t find a way to use an attribute for the data source. Is this possible and if so, how? Alternatively, is there another way to accomplish the same thing?
The utility meter helper does not support attributes. You will have to make a template sensor that extracts your attribute value and use that in your utility meter.
Thanks for the suggestion. I’ll give this a try.
