Energy Dashboard Sensors

[InstigatorX (Steve)]

I’d like to request that the metrics calculated by the energy dashboard be exposed as sensors. For example, the “Net Returned to Grid” card exposed as a monthly sensor. I can then use that to determine that when I have a surplus I use the energy somehow (i.e., turn Grid Charging on Powerwall). My energy company resets by net metering each May and I lose about 1mWh each year. It’d be nice to trigger my batteries to charge from grid on days when I know my solar won’t generate enough to fully charge the batteries. I’d be basically topping my batteries off with my own energy stored by Duke before I lose it.

Using values of energy management in dashboards

I love the new energy management feature as it is very similar to what I am already using (though significantly easier). As I use some features in existing dashboards I was wondering how I could use the values in existing dashboards without the need to use the energy cards themselves. Would it be possible to extract those values from the database or something? See below an example which basically shows the energy consumption since midnight. [Screenshot_20210912-075321]
