simple question: is the information as displayed in the energy dashboard available somewhere to plot in other graphs?
e.g. I have a heat pump that reports total energy used a few times per day and then resets at the end of the day. The energy dashboard can translate that nicely into energy used per day, month, etc.
I could probably build template sensors that do something similar but is there a way to access this dail/monthly etc information more directly?
Long answer: This data is generated when needed by the energy dashboard from the data in the statistics table in the recorder database. If you want a daily/monthly/yearly total you would have to interrogate the database and generate these values yourself using the SQL sensor. Or use utility meters to make new entities.
