Hello, I would like to create a sensor that would show the predicted value of solar energy generation according to the month we are in. For example, January is expected to generate 500kw/h, February 520kw/h and so on. I wanted to create something that would automatically update according to the month we are in.
I guess you mean kWh (i.e. energy), not kW/h (that would be rate of change in power).
I think a template sensor should suffice.
template:
- sensor:
- name: "Power generation prediction"
unit_of_measurement: kWh
device_class: energy
state: >
{%
set energy_in_month = {
1: 500,
2: 520,
3: 0,
4: 0,
5: 0,
6: 0,
7: 0,
8: 0,
9: 0,
10: 0,
11: 0,
12: 0,
}
%}
{{ energy_in_month[now().month] }}
