I have grid energy meter and I created package to read data from this meter via script:
command_line:
- sensor:
name: 'electro_counter'
unique_id: 'electro_counter'
command_timeout: 4
command: "/config/sh/electo_counters/electro_counter.sh kwatthour_phaza:T_ALL:1"
state_class: total_increasing
device_class: energy
unit_of_measurement: 'kWh'
value_template: "{{ ((value | int) / 1000) | float}}"
But I can’t add this sensor to energy dashboard.
An only when I add this to configuration.yaml possible to do it.
homeassistant:
packages: !include_dir_named packages/
customize:
sensor.electro_counter:
state_class: total_increasing
device_class: energy
unit_of_measurement: 'kWh'
friendly_name: 'electro_counter'
icon: mdi:flash
I have already added the required parameters (state_class: total_increasing,
device_class: energy) to the package file but it doesn’t work without adding the section “customize:” to configuration.yaml.
What I do wrong?
