Graphing energy usage in Grafana

Hi @anon35356645,
no I don’t use Hassio, I use the HA Docker container on a Ubuntu host. It works pretty well so far.

My Continuous Queries are done in Influxdb, you can read them above. I then use Grafana to graph the results.

It looks like in your Grafana query you sum the mean values from your Efergy monitor, which I guess must be instant power readings. I don’t think that will work, as you need to calculate energy use (in wh or Kwh) from the instant power readings (in w or Kw).

My flow is somewhat complicated, as I read the power into an Influxdb database, calculate energy with the integral function, graph in Grafana and use the Influxdb sensor in HA to read for example ‘Energy consumed yesterday’.
I can go through it step by step if you’re really interested.

For things like lights that have fixed power, I think it can be done directly in HA, though I haven’t tried, but this looks good: Calculate power usage
