Energy: Adding TuYa device to individual devices

[richhemmings (Rich)]

Hi all,

First time post; I read the help us/help you so I hope I’ve got this right.
Goal: Report device usage and aggregated energy usage based on a series of TuYa sensors. I will try to hook up my smart meter another time, but recently bought a load of the “new” type smart plugs that provide power information so want to access this data.

I set the devices up in TuYa cloud via the mobile companion app and Home Assistant found them and hooked everything up.
Devices are controllable from HAOS, and I have power data reaching the recorder.

I have added the devices under ‘Grid Power’ so can see the aggregated consumption, but would like to add them to “Individual devices” to see the breakdown.

When adding as individual devices, I can select the sockets in the ‘device’ drop down, but no statistics are available.
I RTFM here: Frequently Asked Questions about home energy management - Home Assistant and checked the device config, which looks ok to me.

state_class: measurement
unit_of_measurement: W
device_class: power
friendly_name: Hallway Tree Power

I read this community post:

Trouble with adding ENERGY individual devices - Help please

Toying with the Energy platform. I’ve set up many energy and power entities. Now the odd thing is all are identical as far as I can see but only 2 show on the drop-down of add device option in Configuration>Energy. 1 shows and the other doesn’t. Have about 12 set up in total under sensors. Got Utility meter working fin just to add.

…and tried to update the class to ‘energy’ but this didn’t work either.

I’m running HAOS deployed to Proxmox VM.
HAOS is using 2025.12.2 core / 2025.12.3 supervisor / 16.3 OS / 20251203.2 Frontend

Thanks in advance.

Not sure if you resolved this already but

Grid power is for total you are pulling from the grid, so in my case I just assign a single entity from my Solar inverter which measures this.

You should add your sensors under Individual devices, for each one you can specify energy (kWh) and power (W).

eg:

and these entities looks like:

After doing that and waiting a bit, they should show up under Energy → Individual device total usage and Now

Hope that helps.
