Hello,
I have a counter which records the m3 of gas used. This works fine so far. I added some senors like:
- sensor:
- unique_id: gasmeter_kwh
name: Gasmeter kWh
state: "{{ (states('counter.gas_meter_count') | float * 0.01 * [factor for m3 -> kWh]) | round(2) }}"
unit_of_measurement: 'kWh'
icon: mdi:meter-gas-outline
device_class: energy
state_class: total_increasing
- sensor:
- unique_id: gasmeter_costs
name: Gasmeter costs
state: "{{ (states('counter.gas_meter_count') | float * 0.01 * [factor for m3 -> kWh] * [price of kWh]) | round(2) }}"
unit_of_measurement: 'EUR'
icon: mdi:meter-gas-outline
device_class: monetary
state_class: total_increasing
This works fine when showing the absolut numbers in a lovelace-dashboard.
Now I want to add this the the energy dashboard. I went to Gas consumption → Add gas source and used Gasmeter kWh as Gas usage and chose "
“Use an entity tracking the total costs” with Gasmeter costs.
I got an nice graph now on the energy-dashboard which shows my gas usage per day in kWh, but the costs are not shown anywhere on the energy-dashboard.
What do I have to do to show the costs there as well?
