Flow charts not divided by rooms

[4k3or3et]

Hi All,

I have two HA in two different location with the same devices and hardware for HA.

One of them is showing flow chart (energy flow chat and power flow chart) separated like this:

Grid - home - rooms - devices

Second one is showing:

Grid - home - devices

So i am lacking devices being divided by room for better data visibility.

Of course i have restarted HA, checked if devices and entities have assigned areas.

Does anyone have a clue why this may be happening?

Might be a stupid question, however can you confirm the devices are added to rooms in the 2nd location?

[4k3or3et]

Yes yes they are. i have even remove the location from some devices and re add it to check. No luck…

Works for me:

Have you configured the UPS as an upstream device in 1 of the device configurations?
If so, the flowchart will not show rooms anymore, but instead switch to showing upstream devices. Try removing the UPS as an upstream device and see if that helps

Oh! Man! That was it! Thanks for pointing me into that direction.

But now my readings and uasge will be incorrect. as i will have some devices counted twice for the energy they used.

Apart from removing UPS from “individual devices” is there anything else that can be done to track the UPS usage and devices conencted to it?

[tmatheussen (Tom Matheussen)]

I don’t believe there’s another option right now other than removnig the UPS from the individual devices.
You can try to create a feature request (or search for one, not sure if it exists already) on Github, maybe it gets enough traction to get worked on

I actually just saw this one:

New Energy flow Sankey chart: very nice, but upstream devices break floors and areas?

Yes, the upstream device setting is defined for the HA Energy dashboard, but is global in the sin that it is used as well when additional Sankey Cards are placed on other dashboards. As far as I know however, you can not access these upstream settings outside of the Energy dashboard cards. The advantage of using the Sankey card on another dashboard is that you have extra configuration options: you can set the visibility of the floors and areas (true or false). This is an example of a Sankey …

So it seems it is actually possible to have both floors/area grouping AND upstream devices. That is only possible when you show the sankey graph on a custom dashboard though, not the build in energy one.
Since I have a custom dashboard, I tried this out and I was able to get them to show up as you wanted, by manually forcing the grouping on area/floor as well (using the YAML code in the other post)

Thanks Man! It rally works:

Off-topic: Are you also bothered by the huge block of ‘untracked consumption’? Have been chiseling away at adding more measurements.

Its around 50W in my case. Looks like that as total cosumption at tome of taking that screenshot was aroun 150W. Those 50W left are some small stuff like phone chargers, docking stations, monitors at idle state etc. What really bothers me is that UPS path crossing other paths. It still could be between hallway and living room. Perhaps it will be fixed one day.
