I wanted to keep track of my energy consumption and cost so I installed Home Assistant Glow. That worked perfect instantly. To test the Energy dashboard I took the electricity price from Nord Pool current price sensor. That worked also fine, I could see the cost changing. But the Nord Pool price is just a fraction of the total price so I made a custom sensor calculating the total. The sensor works. It shows the actual cost and I can see it in the history. When I use the new sensor in the energy dashboard the cost is zero. I change back to the previous setting that worked, just the Nord Pool price. Now even that is zero. What has happened? How can I find out what is wrong? I have waited a day for changes to take place. I have restarted the system several times.
