Energy: Cost for the individual devices

Hi All!

I’m sorry I haven’t maintained the integration for a while. Unfortunately can’t promise to have time in the near future as well.

Few recommendations so you aren’t so dependable of the integration logic:

  • If you have enegy (kwh) sensor, use this. Only if you don’t have, use power (W) sensor. Reason is that the energy calculations are more precice
  • Make a sensor with my integration and make unlimited amount of HAUtility Meter sensors for different periods you would like (all time, hourly, daily, two days, whatever you like).

I have seen all the ideas and request here and github, but just don’t have what it takes to implement these.

i’m really thrilled that so many people found something, I thought was only my need , so useful. Now I feel a bit bad letting you all down not maintaining what I started. If anybody is interested in contributing and doing what needs to be done, I would gladly give all permissions in github to continue what i started. I mean, this is what opensource sould be in my view.

EDIT: Forgot to mention, that in my opinion this functionality is something that would be nice to see in Home Assistant core. It would make so much sense to have a cost/profit side in the energy management.
