Energy Consumption calculates wrong values, using ESP HOME sensor that sends unknown peeks

[Valarie]

Hi
i use a esp home sensor for my smart power meter. This sensor reads every 30s the total used energy. I use this sensor for my energy dashboard and it worked fine.

sensor:

• platform: obis
  channel: “1-0:1.8.0*255”
  name: “strom_zaehlerstand_kwh_total”
  unit_of_measurement: “kWh”
  device_class: “energy”
  accuracy_decimals: 4
  state_class: “total_increasing”
  filters:
  • throttle: 30s

But in the last weekys the sml_sensor deliveres wrong values. These are always lower as you can see here and i dont know where they come from …

and my values in the energy dashboard are getting crazy as you can see here

I havent found the problem yet. But is it possible to only use values that are greater like before? I thought about a new sensor that only stores the values from the sml_sensor, when that value is greater, then that time before. Unfortunately my coding knowledge for HA are very very poor.

So someone has an idea? I know i could change values for the energy dashboard in the statistic tab. But i also have some other sensors that use my sml_sensor “strom_zaehlerstand_kwh_total” and these are also calculating wrong values:

utility_meter:
strom_verbrauch_kwh_daily:
source: sensor.strom_zaehlerstand_kwh_total
cycle: daily
strom_verbrauch_kwh_weekly:
source: sensor.strom_zaehlerstand_kwh_total
cycle: weekly
strom_verbrauch_kwh_monthly:
source: sensor.strom_zaehlerstand_kwh_total
cycle: monthly

Best Regards

I opened another thread about this problem with a hopefully working solution at the end

Struggeling with Template Float in an If-Then-Else-Phrase

Hi, what am i doing wrong here. My sensor “strom_zaehlerstand_kwh_total” shows the complete used power consumption. Its also a energy_class with a “total_inceasing” state_class. But sometimes i got wrong values, that are lower then the time before. To filter these values for my energy dashboard i createt an extra sensor “stromzaehler_total_test”. This sensor should only store values from my powermeter_sensor “strom_zaehlerstand_kwh_total” that are greater like the time before. For the case, t…

stromzaehler_total_test:
        value_template:  >
            {% set total = states('sensor.strom_zaehlerstand_kwh_total') |float() |round(3) %}
            {% set test = states('sensor.stromzaehler_total_test') |float(0) |round(3) %}
            {% if total >= test %} {{ total }}
            {% else %} {{ test }}
            {% endif %}
