Energy integration and utility meters

Configuration
10

After a quick exchange with Mike - the dev behind the awesome Actron Que HA Plugin for a ducted Air Conditioner available in Australia, he’s found the entity for the compressor power of the system and added it to his addon.

I’ve now added these sensors to my configuration.yaml so can now see the power usage of my aircon in my “Individual Devices” section of the HA Energy Dashboard.

UPDATE: Was making my life way too complicated. Integration Sensors now work without additional sensors right in the Energy Dashboard - just a minor customize section in customize.yaml.

sensor:
#Integration Sensors
  - platform: integration
    source: sensor.air_conditioner_compressor_power
    name: Air Conditioner Compressor Energy Spent
    unit_prefix: k
    method: left

then this added to customize.yaml :

sensor.air_conditioner_compressor_energy_spent:
  last_reset: '1970-01-01T00:00:00+00:00'
  state_class: 'total_increasing'
  device_class: energy
  unit_of_measurement: kWh

Seems to be working now!
