Neither of default_config docs or energy docs states that clearly.
“Add energy integration”, what does that even mean? There is no integration called energy if you trying to add a new integration from the UI for example. And as everything now a days is moving towards “UI” I was under the impression that it would be there.
So to conclude, I don’t think that it was stated clearly. Would be surprised if I’m the only one that missed that information.
I also was not able to find the new energy stuff. Googling to find what I was missing even though I thought it was something just like this still did not give me much until I found this thread.
Hi,
definitively, you’re not alone
I found this thread because I was also missing the new Energy dashboard in my Home Assistant Core (virtualenv).
Adding “energy:” to configuration.yaml solved the issue, thanks for the solution
Same thing here…the docs page has the “My” links that I also missed and didn’t work.
These shouldn’t be the only way to get to something if it is optional and won’t work on every install out there either.
Once I got that working it said you don’t have the energy integration.
So I go to integrations like bratanon said up above…nothing there.
I have the default_config: and it didn’t work until I put energy: in my config.
So it isn’t in the docs…as of five minutes ago anyway.
Having enabled and disabled Energy a while back, then was lucky enough to get an Octopus Mini and new HA sensors c/o the Octopus Energy integration, I then got momentarily stumped on why a reenabled Energy dashboard reported “There is no data to show.” with no immediately obvious config option.
The link to “Show Energy Config of My” on “Understanding Home Energy Management” (see earlier post, thank you) got me in the right place to update the sensors graphed on the Energy dashboard.
Next time I’ll hopefully remember Settings / Dashboards / Energy is what I needed. Though three dots in the top right of the Energy dashboard for Edit Dashboard (like the main default dashboard) would be good / consistent?
