I am pretty new to the topic and want to add my current energy consumption and also water consumption to the energy dashboard.
First problem is now the energy.
I have an infrared reader with ESP that currently reads my total consumption value and transmits it over MQTT to the Tasmota integration. So far so good, I can see the value in Home assistant:
The problem now is that I cannot select that sensor in the energy dashboard. It is just not shown up in the drop down. Any idea what I am missing here?
The same problem I have for the water consumtion. Here I have the reading also over AI-on-the-edge and ESP camera. The value is correctly shown in Home Assistant.
But also on the energy dashboard this sensor is not shown in the drop down.
Is there anything else I need to configure in order to use them in the dashboard?
Thanks for the reply. I checked the sensors there. I also tried to customize them in the config.yaml by setting those attributes.
I can see that those attributes are set:
The sensor is not showing up there. However for current “gas” consumption I could select the water sensor. Also when I try to create a normal statistics diagram I get only “statistics are being loaded” forever for the water sensor. Sometimes some values are showing up but then switch back to “loading”.
