Hi everyone
I am still really new but I have set up current and voltage measurements on my battery system and I would like to convert to power to display in the energy dashboard, I have a template that looks like this
- platform: template
sensors:
batteryout:
friendly_name: "Batteryout"
unit_of_measurement: "kW"
value_template: >-
{% if states('sensor.currenttotal')|float <= 0 %}
{{ (( states('sensor.currenttotal')|float * -1)*states('sensor.batteryvoltage')|float) }}
{% else %}
0
{% endif %}
Where sensor.currenttotal is calculated from several sources added up to give me my total current flowing in/out of my battery and sensor.batteryvoltage is my battery voltage.
And then I integrate the result with
- platform: integration
source: sensor.batteryout
name: energy_batteryout
unit_prefix: k
round: 4
method: left
The numbers I get are correct but it gives me amp hours not Watts or k Watts. How do I tell it that the integration is power so it will show up in the energy dashboard ?
Thanks
Mark
