I’m using Shelly 3em for analyzing the whole energy flow and Shelly em for analyzing the solar panel supply. So far so good. After installation and configuration of a script everything is running fine, except the sensor “Energy export daily” cannot be chosen at adjustments/dashboards because it simply not available. At the overview screen its available but without any unit like Wh or kWh.
Even restart, or simply waiting (recommendation from script writer) did not help . Any idea? Bug from HA?
thx for help

You need to define the correct device and state classes for your template sensors. The state_class can only be defined in the new template integration (unless you want to use a customize hack). You are using the legacy template sensor platform.
e.g. delete the template sensors above (leave the Riemann Sum sensors) and replace them with this in your configuration.yaml file
There is also an issue with your “Power Consumption” template sensor. See the comments in it below.
template:

My HA shows exactly the same result and “Invalid config” message when I use the template above:
Blockquote
Invalid config for [sensor.template]: expected dictionary for dictionary value @ data[‘sensors’].
Got [{‘name’: ‘Power Import’, ‘unit_of_measurement’: ‘W’, ‘state_class’: ‘measurement’, ‘device_class’: ‘power’, ‘state’: "{% if states(‘sensor.shelly_em3_channel_a_power’)|float(0) + states(‘sensor.shelly_em3_channel_b_power’)|float(0) + states(‘sensor.shelly_em3_channel_c_power’)|float(0) > 0 %}\n {{ states(‘sensor.shelly_em3_channel_a_power’)|float(0) + states(‘sensor.shelly_em3_channel_b_power’)|float(0) + states(‘sensor.shelly_em3_channel_c_power’)|float(0) }}\n{% else %}\n 0\n{% endif %}.… (See ?, line ?).
So I switched back to the configuration I found somewhere else, which is working fine except the “energy daily sensor” which for unknown reasons under developer tools > statistics does not show the measurement “kWh”. See attached screengrab. Neverless it records the daily export as expected.
Since the measurement “kWh” is available for the “energy monthly sensor” which was created with exactly the same configuration, I also think, that in HA something is not working as expected.
Finally it seems that the missing measurement “kWh” for the daily export sensor is the reason, that it cannot be selected in the energy dashboard.
Thx for your reply. Unfortunately it still throws an error.

Alright, sorry, after 1000 tries I did not see that.
I have cleaned up everything, reentered the (now hopefully correct) configuration, but still it does not work.

Unfortunately the sensor “Energy export daily” still has no unit “kWh”, while the sensor “Energy export monthly”, which was recreated at the very same time, has the unit “kWh”. The sensor “Energy export daily” is working and collecting data, but still it cannot be selected for the Energy dashboard.
Update, 2023-05-26
Since I cannot add further replies (I am rated as beginner), I’ll add the reply to your latest post here:
Yes, I have exported energy to the net.
DevTools > Statistics checked: There is no Fix Issue Button. It shows “no issue”
DevTools > Stats checked: Energy Export Daily does not show attributes “unit_of_measurement” and “device_class”. Even after removing and recreating the attributes have not changed as shown in the next screengrab.
