Energy Dashboard Negative value

[MichaelBach]

For some weird reason, my energy dashboard show some negative entities. That do not have negative values. Any good ideas ?

If you look closely at this You will see it is not strictly increasing:

That could be causing your issue.

Is this a template sensor?

If so, please share the configuration.

If the device is shut off, there’s no consumption. It’s a template sensor.

[tom_l]

You definitely need an availability template that ensures all sensors are available.

    availability: >
      {{
          states('sensor.shelly_shem_3_244cab41b39c_1_total_consumption')|is_number and
          states('sensor.shelly_shem_3_244cab41b39c_2_total_consumption')|is_number and
          states('sensor.shelly_shem_3_244cab41b39c_3_total_consumption')|is_number
      }}

Like this

   state: >-
      {% set sensorventilation_laserstate_total =
        [ states('sensor.ventilation_laser_svejs_importenergy_a'),
          states('sensor.ventilation_laser_svejs_importenergy_b'),
          states('sensor.ventilation_laser_svejs_importenergy_c'),
        ] | map('float') | sum
      %}
      {{ sensorventilation_laserstate_total }}
     availability: >-
       {{
         [ states('sensor.ventilation_laser_svejs_importenergy_a'),
           states('sensor.ventilation_laser_svejs_importenergy_b'),
           states('sensor.ventilation_laser_svejs_importenergy_c'),
         ] | map('is_number') | min
       }}

[tom_l]

Yeah that should work, though your indentation is not right. availability: should be at the same level as state:.

[MichaelBach]

Of course. I’ll try that

[Lynny (Lynn Bayer)]

I have the same problem but with some helper.

They where reset to 0 !?!?

how can that happen and how do I get it fixed?
Change the values in the DB? I have a little knowledge about DB queries but not so much.
Tanks a lot in advanced for your help

[MichaelBach]

In dev. tools statistics you can correct values. I ended up, discarding all negative and zero values to fix mine

- sensor:
  - name: "125 - Energy Total"

        ]|map('float')|sum|int

      {% if incommingValue125 > 0 %}
