Energy values as sensors

[horstefan]

Can we have the energy dashboard values be exposed as sensors to use these in automations and MQTT? i know i can calculate them myself but why do that when HomeAssistant does it perfectly

This would be really nice! I would like to have most of the stats available in energy dashboard as sensors. For example amount of self used solar!

This would be really great. I could show these values as mini-graphs directly on one of my dashboards…

EDIT: I just found this hidden page in the docs… At least you can show these as cards on the dashboard.

Using values of energy management in dashboards

I love the new energy management feature as it is very similar to what I am already using (though significantly easier). As I use some features in existing dashboards I was wondering how I could use the values in existing dashboards without the need to use the energy cards themselves. Would it be possible to extract those values from the database or something? See below an example which basically shows the energy consumption since midnight. [Screenshot_20210912-075321]
