Hi there,
first of all, thanks for Home Assistant.
I like the Energy Tab and its electricity statistics, where Home Assistant automatically creates a useful diagram tracking several electricity sources (grid, multiple PV inverters) and electricity consumers.
However, the natural gas consumption statistics are useless to me in their current form.
My home does not have a natural gas boiler, the heating uses a heat pump and solar thermal roof collectors. I get live heat production sensor data for both.
Instead of gas consumption, I’d like to see an additional “heat production” statistic and diagram similar to the electricity sources statistics.
The unit to track would be kWh and the heat statistics would then be able to track and sum up several heat sources in a shared diagram - heat pump, electric heater rod, solar thermal collectors, fossil boiler - whatever you may have installed in your home and that is able to report its heat production to HA.
The result would be a more meaningful way to track heat production and usage of my home.
Thanks for your attention.
