Can not select gas meter in energy dashboard

[St0ertebeker]

Hi,

i have a value which gives me the current kwh of my gas meter (e.g. 4998.741288)
This value is stored in a system variable on homematic ccu2.

my yaml entry looks like this

> - platform: template
>     sensors:
>       gas_in_kwh:
>         value_template: "{{ states.homematic.ccu2.attributes.Gaszaehler_kwh }}"
>         unit_of_measurement: kwh
>         device_class: energy
>         attribute_templates:
>           state_class: total_increasing

Im able to see the current value in the section “developer tools → states” (Entwicklerwerkzeuge → Zustände) - see screenshot

But i can not select the value in energy dashboard.
I have read the article about statistics but can’t find my fault.

Would be great if someone can give me a tip for a solution on this.

Many thanks in advance

Adding gas to energy dashboard (solved)

All, Previous release ( 2021.8) I struggled a bit getting my energy meters on the new dashboard, but the new state_class: 'total_increasing' solved my issues without requiring any workarounds. I was very excited to see we can now also use gas meters. but now HA does not offer my gas meter as an option in the dashboard, the sensor looks like this: - platform: mqtt name: "Gas consumed" state_topic: "home/smart_meter/HOURLY_GAS_METER_READING" unit_of_measurement: 'm³' state_cla…

Many thanks, i changed the values of unit_of_measurement and device_class. now gas meter appears in energy dashboard.

• platform: template
  sensors:
  gas_in_m3:
  value_template: “{{ states.homematic.ccu2.attributes.Gaszaehler }}”
  unit_of_measurement: ‘m³’
  device_class: ‘gas’
  attribute_templates:
  state_class: ‘total_increasing’
