Device hierarchy for energy management behavio(u)r

Very excited to see this included in 2025.4. I have four Leviton panels each with a Whole Home Energy monitor in the following setup…

*200 AMP main panel

*200 AMP main panel
**125AMP sub panel
**100AMP sub panel

The main panel w/o sub panels shows up fine in the ‘individual devices detail usage’ section. The other main panel has a few unexpected things going on…

*The panel shows up as "Main Panel - Garage (untracked)'. It shows a value, though, so it appears to be tracking something but I don’t understand the meaning of untracked
*Only the 100amp sub panel is showing up in the stacked bar, and is registering a value, but the other sub panel isn’t showing up
*Perhaps related to the above the 125amp sub panel IS listed in the individual device total usage but registering nil
*There is a fourth bar for ‘untracked consumption’ which I don’t really understand because every panel/sub panel has a dedicated monitor

I very well could have something mis configured and curious what other peoples setups/results are showing?

I’ve also noticed some odd behavior and wanted to see if anyone else has experienced this.

I have a main circuit breaker named Int-B5 (40 AMP). Downstream from it, I have two other breakers — one for the pool and one for an EV charger. There are also a few smaller loads connected to Int-B5, like a camera and some lights.

Now, when I configure the EV charger and pool as child circuits of Int-B5 in Home Assistant, the Int-B5 breaker gets marked as “untracked”.

I was expecting it to work like this:
Int-B5 total consumption = Int-B5 measured value - EV charger - pool

Or perhaps the “untracked” label appears because there’s some unmetered consumption (like the camera and lights) that’s not part of the child circuits?

Is this expected behavior? Should I be setting it up differently if I have partial loads on the parent that aren’t metered by separate (child) breakers?

I’m not seeing much benefit to this new feature. I am now able to designate upstream devices…period. In the individual device display it still lumps the upstream and downstream devices all together at one level with no recognition of the new hierarchy. Same exact behavior with this new energy-sankey card. It lists the upstream devices and downstream devices all on the same level, underneath the room level. What’s the point of being able to create the hierarchy if it isn’t used for the display? I have 4-5 levels in my hierarchy…the main feed to the house, the feed to each panel, each circuit within the panel, (some smart plugs with attached devices) and many individual devices on each circuit/smart plug. I’ve been waiting for the this “nesting” feature for a long time so I wouldn’t have to create my own energy panel with hacs integrations.
