Energy: Wood Pellets, Wood Chips, Oil

seems to be demanded by some… but probably nobody cares that there is not only gas in the world…

Energy dashboard - Change "gas" into "heating"

I would not mind using gas to heat my house, but it is just not available in my street. I’m therefore on heating oil and have a connected gauge to measure the remaining quantity in my tank. Thanks to that, I have built sensors and counters to monitor my consumption and to transform it in kWh to have it appear in the Energy dashboard as… gas consumption, because oil is not available . So I would suggest to change gas into heating, so that it adapts to all other possible …

Energy Dashboard: Add Oil-Usage in addition to Gas

Right now, the energy dashboard does only provide some basic options for your energy monitoring. generators (solarcollectors) grid (import / export) battery Single devices Gas Right now, I do see one major issue with this kind of setup: GAS is the only option that can be setup for “heating” IN fact, there are other options, such as GAS or even electricity. Measurements can be made for Oil (there are sensors available which measure the fill level of an oil tank) But also, if you use electr…

Energy Management - Allow 'Oil' in addition to 'Gas'

Loving the new energy management feature. We don’t have gas, but Kerosene. I’ve converted my current consumption (currently litres per day) into m3 (10.35 kilowatts per litre is the official conversion) and fed it into a utility sensor, which works great. It would be real nice if we could rename Gas to Oil for completeness. Many thanks in advance.

Custom consumptions for energy dashboard (wood pellets, water, oil...)

Hi Guys, as the Energy Dashboard is a very nice thing to display and analyze energy consumption it would be nice to introduce something like “custom consumptions”. Like for example the Gas consumption is something which is more related to urban areas rather than country side it would be nice to set custom energy names and units like “wood pellets [kg/pound]”. It also would give us the possibility to create consumptions for water [liter/gallon], oil [liter/gallon] and anything else which comes …

Can't configure template sensor in energy dashboard

This is also mentioned in this feature request (please vote )

Energy Dashboard - Wood Pellets consumption

Hello, it would be great if the consumption of wood pellets (kg/lbs) additionally to gas could be implemented. thanks in advance

Energy : adding pellets and wood to gaz and electricity

I really like the approach developped on energy dashboard (thank you for that) but I think it should be more “inclusive” for alternative energies. I am thinking first to wood and pellets consumption on which I have already some meters (that could be easyly converted to KWh). For people like me that are mixing different energies bringing more flexibility in defining additional sources like we have for consumptions wold be great.

2021.9.0: More energy, USB discovery, template

Maybe yes, but I think the whole point of the Energy dashboard is expenses (costs) management. We have support for electrical energy and gas. Gas can be used to produce energy, so does pellet, coal, wood, and other sources, but we don’t have support for all of them. I think that support for water usage would be a nice addition. I’ll create a feature request and we can discuss that in the proper place.

Energy Dashboard additional Features

I propose that the Energy Dashboard gets more flexibility regarding energy sources, right now its very focused on solar. Edit: structured List of individual Devices: show unaccounted energy (delta between grid, production and the sum of inidividual devices List of individual Devices: group them together as drilldown eg. it stuff, household appliances Add additional energy-sources: power generators, water/wind turbine, wood-pellets heater Add energy sources for water: eg. my hot tap water and …
