Looking at the raw numbers for real energy consumed it is incorrect. When I did the sums the value is not the true grid import.
The only way I could get the number shown is to take total consumption minus export but that is a meaningless number. It really should be (total consumption) - (total generated) + (export) that give the grid import correctly.
Ok looking at it a bit more the fronius smart meter is a net meter so when you import it goes up and when you export it goes down hence the need for a formula change in the intergration to give a useful value.
You need {consumed_fronius}+({export}*2)-{total generated}={grid Import}
But they I would have the same issue in reverse? In my mind I need to use the raw data from the clamp to have import as one sensor and export as another. Maybe I’m misunderstanding something here but the energy setup wants a sensor for each.
Where in Australia do that do this? Most smart meters I have seen areare using cellular (3/4/5G) radios in Australia. Would be curious to get some more details on what unit you have
homeassistant:
customize_glob:
sensor.haenergy_*:

Are they acceptable to use? In HA, they are new sensors and but doesn’t start from 0. I’ve set their last_reset to when I set it up in HA. But they start from non-zero. I can reset it in emonCMS if it helps, it is arbitrary number from when emonCMS was setup.
It’s been a few hours and the dashboard is still completely empty. Hence the question above.
Is there any way to debug why it remains completely empty?
EDIT: upon checking again, it has sprang to life It’s beautiful!
On the tarif-aspects, too bad here in Flanders/Belgium we will be using a new method as of 2022 called “Capaciteitstarief” (capacity-tarif) based on “Kwartierpiek” meting (quart-hour peak measurement) so not a “fixed” X cents / kWh anymore.
Not so easy to incorporate in the calculation model I think.
I use the CircuitSetup 6 Channel board, esphome and cts to currently monitor my energy (see setup video from Travis (https://youtu.be/BOgy6QbfeZk). How do I add this to the new built in energy monitoring?
Really cool new addition. Solaredge works, although adding it was a little confusing since the solaredge lifetime energy is measured in Wh. The dropdown menu says it expects kWh. But it seems the conversion works.
Too bad though that I can’t add any of my smart plugs to the detailed section for individual devices. I have a bunch of Fibaro zwave wall plugs and tasmota flashed gosund plugs, but they do not show up.
I wish there were easier ways of not loading things in the default_config: because of what you just encountered. I can’t currently make use of energy: and would like to hide it, but I’m concerned if something new gets added to the default_config: that I would like to use I’ll miss it if I remove default_config: and have everything individually listed.
It’s as if you where reading our minds. Just two weeks ago I started a project to read my smart energy meter using ESPHome in my house. It’s almost finished and the new views and database capabilites will come very handy.
Knx sensors have a device_class set if you configured the appropriate type:.
You can add the missing state_class and last_reset attributes with customize for now.
Is it possible to use the YOULESS integration here?
I have a youless LS120 on my energy meter and i have the integration already in Home Assistant since several years. And it would be super awesome to have this data in the Energy service.
It’s beautiful!
