Energy dashboard / wizard : how to add manually

1

Hi everyone,

Stupid question: on a fresh instance of HA, I can see the energy dashboard and a wizard to configure it.

On my production instance, I want to add this same functionality (dashboard + wizard), but can’t see where. What am I missing?

I suppose this has something to do with my configuration.yaml:

How can I add this energy dashboard?

Kind regards!

You need to add either default_config: or energy: in your configuration.yaml.

Then restart Home Assistant.

Other integrations included in default_config:

Perfect!
I didn’t include “default_config:” because I had some troubles with the combination of “packages”.

However, found a solution at

So the order seems to be important.

Following works for me


# ===============================================
# GLOBAL CONFIG FILE
# ===============================================
homeassistant:

  # Name of the location where Home Assistant is running
  name: PvO4 (hass-86)

  # Location required to calculate the time the sun rises and sets
  latitude: 50.867461
  longitude: 4.707878

  # Impacts weather/sunrise data (altitude above sea level in meters)
  elevation: 28
  # metric for Metric, imperial for Imperial
  unit_system: metric
  # Pick yours from here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tz_database_time_zones
  time_zone: Europe/Brussels
  # Customization file
  customize: !include customize.yaml
  # zie https://community.home-assistant.io/t/please-help-automation-for-ikea-tradfri-remote-control-e1524-e1810/142707/2
  packages: !include_dir_named packages

Thanx for your help!

Can anyone tell me if there is a yaml file to edit the Energy dashboard please?

I want to change the names of these smart plugs to something that more logically represents the devices currently plugged into them. (Television and PC)
