Hi all,
Currently I’m trying to integrate my oil burner into the energy monitor.
What I did:
The overall hours of the burner are sent out via mqtt.
For this I have the following entity:
- platform: mqtt
name: 'HoursOilBurner'
state_topic: 'VITOWIFI/HoursOilBurner'
unit_of_measurement: 'h'
To calculate the overall liters of heating oil I have this entity:
sensor:
- platform: template
sensors:
oilusage:
friendly_name: "heating oil"
unit_of_measurement: "l"
device_class: gas
value_template: "{{ float(states.sensor.hoursoilburner.state) * 0.0008464052288 }}"
To get the daily/monthly/yearly amoung I have this entity:
utility_meter:
oelverbrauch_tag:
source: sensor.oilusage
cycle: daily
oelverbrauch_monat:
source: sensor.oilusage
cycle: monthly
oelverbrauch_jahr:
source: sensor.oilusage
cycle: yearly
But unfortunatly I cannot add any of these entities to my energy dashboard.
I hope you can give me a hint to solve this issue
