Energy dashboard: how to add integral template sensor to dashboard

[bartplessers]

Hi,

I have some powerplugs.
Some of them only report W, V and A but do not consumption of energy in kWh

So I created a template sensor as follows

  # ---------------------------------------------------
  - name: "Elektriciteit datacenter power"
    unique_id: "sensor.elektriciteit_datacenter_power"
    icon: mdi:flash
    unit_of_measurement: "W"
    state_class: measurement
    state: >
      {{ states('sensor.tasmota_108_energy_power') | float(default=0.0) }}
    availability: >
      {{ states('sensor.tasmota_108_energy_power') | is_number }}

and to have the total energy consumption, I created an integration sensor as follows:

  # ---------------------------------------------------
  - name: "Elektriciteit datacenter energy"
    unique_id: "sensor.elektriciteit_datacenter_energy"
    platform: integration
    source: sensor.elektriciteit_datacenter_power
    unit_time: h

However, It can not add the sensor.elektriciteit_datacenter_energy to the “individual devices” of my Energy Dashboard section. I receive following error:

But I can NOT add a device class to the integration sensor.

How can I add my custom “integration sensor” to the energy dashboard
Any advice on this?

kind regards,
Bart

[bartplessers]

nobody? Really?

[brooksben11 (Ben)]

Try adding a device class of power to the first sensor. The integration sensor should then automatically change it to a device class of energy for itself (at least it does using the integration helper in the UI).

hi @brooksben11

I changed my sensor to

  # ---------------------------------------------------
  - name: "Elektriciteit datacenter power"
    unique_id: "sensor.elektriciteit_datacenter_power"
    icon: mdi:flash
    unit_of_measurement: "W"
    device_class: power
    state_class: measurement
    state: >
      {{ states('sensor.tasmota_108_energy_power') | float(default=0.0) }}
    availability: >
      {{ states('sensor.tasmota_108_energy_power') | is_number }}

It gives no error, but the integral does not work anymore: no increment of values anymore:

# ---------------------------------------------------
  - name: "Elektriciteit datacenter energy"
    unique_id: "sensor.elektriciteit_datacenter_energy"
    platform: integration
    source: sensor.elektriciteit_datacenter_power
    unit_time: h

any other suggestions?

PS:
But I can add the sensor.elektriciteit_datacenter_energy to my energy dashboard now!!!

[brooksben11 (Ben)]

Has the power value changed since you updated it though? The integral is only calculated on changes in the source sensor.

[mirekmal (Mirek Malinowski)]

Just yesterday I went through very similar exercie and here are my learnings
Make sure that both power and energy sensors are included in recorder.
Customize the energy sensor to add the state_class:

customize:
  sensor.elektriciteit_datacenter_energy:
    state_class: total_increasing

Enforce Integral sensor configuration to be more resistant to rarely changing values. Also I think it might be more usefull to calculate energy consumtion in kWh rather than Wh. So add 2 lines to your sensor (last 2 in example below):

# ---------------------------------------------------
  - name: "Elektriciteit datacenter energy"
    unique_id: "sensor.elektriciteit_datacenter_energy"
    platform: integration
    source: sensor.elektriciteit_datacenter_power
    unit_time: h
    method: left
    unit_prefix: k

[bartplessers]

Many thanx @mirekmal !

I’ll try this out.
However yesterday I was playing with the unit_prefix: k,which give some strange results:
Around 22:30, I added the unit_prefix to my integration, but energy went from 7072Wh to 7072000Wh!!! So I reverted this back

[mirekmal (Mirek Malinowski)]

WOW, than some serious devices you must have in your home
But seriously, I have also some serious misreading of owen consumtion before I changed integral sensor to method: left. Lets first check if other changes fix your problem and what would be the reading afterwards.

@mirekmal

: left. Lets first check if other changes fix your problem and what would be the reading afterwards.

to isolate everything, I created new sensors:

  sensor.elektriciteit_datacenter_energy_test3:
    state_class: total_increasing
  sensor.elektriciteit_datacenter_energy_test4:
    state_class: total_increasing

W’ll see what happens

[bartplessers]

OK,
everything seems to be more or less settled now:

sensors:

tasmota-108 ENERGY Total:

the information that I receive directly from the tasmota plug

elektriciteit_datacenter_energy_xxx

the integral (Riemann sum) of the power (in W) that get from the tasmota plug

values seem to be (more or less) equal, so integral is correct. Energy is expressed in KWh
So far so good.

Only for some other plugs (shelly plug, and TV Powerplug) there is a difference between the energy value coming directly from the plug and the value calculated by the integral.
Defenitions are the same:

    unit_time: h
    method: left
    unit_prefix: k

but the result is different …

I’ll try with with trapezoidal and right and see what happens…

[kahilzinger (Kirk Hilzinger)]

Is there any way you can show me the entire file? I am new to this and I am trying to do the same to track energy usage of the devices detected in Sense. The “state_class: total_increasing” is confusing me.

Also, how do you get it to reset the counter after 24-hours? I am trying to mimic the Kasa plugs I have with “Today’s” consumption" where they reset every 24-hours. I imagine I could also translate that into the Kasa emulated plugs I have, too.

Here is what I have and I did not duplicate the original sensor with new sensors:

The most flexible way to organize this:

• I places both *.yaml-files in a folder called “packages”
• in configuration.yaml, I included this folder with packages: !include_dir_named packages

[kahilzinger (Kirk Hilzinger)]

I just created a sensors.yaml file and added it to my configuration.yaml file.

Thank you for this but I think something is way off in my math. When I added:

• name: “furnace_energy”
  unique_id: “sensor.furnace_energy”
  platform: integration
  source: sensor.furnace_usage_5 <–The actual current usage in wattage from Sense.
  unit_time: h
  method: left <–Added
  unit_prefix: k <–Added

It showed like 741-kWh burned in one hour when the value that I get from Sense is like 0.7kWh so I think I need to divide by 1000 to get the correct number.

Also, how do I get this cumulative value to reset at midnight or is that just something that happens?

I know I am a noob at this, as engineering is my strong suit, not coding. I do thank you for the help, though.
