I´m playing for weeks to configure vzlogger with Home-Assistant to see the right data in the energy dashboard but without success
There is some conversation issue, I think.
Yes, you are using a power sensor. You need to use an energy sensor. These are two very different things. Simply giving a power sensor an energy unit (Wh or kWh) and giving it the required device class is not enough to turn a power sensor into an energy sensor.
The only way to convert power to energy is to integrate it with respect to time. So if you don’t have an actual energy sensor, then feed your power sensor (fix the unit to W or kW and class to ‘power’) to this:
make sense - so if I understand it correctly, i should calculate the sum of received values.
What if I use the total meter reading (Zählerstand) instead of the current power consumption?
I’m new to HA and also working on adding my power consumption to the energy dashboard. I’ve configures to sensors in HA and I can find them under entities
I was able to add the first sensor (total consumption, increasing) to the dashboart, but the second sensor with acutal energy consumption is not available. Any idea why this sensor is not available in the dropdown list?
