Helper to summarize energy kwh, untracked in the energy dashboard?

[Tomahawk]

Basically all I want is to have one sensor summarizing all my lights energy usage and have this in my energy dashboard (now I also set up alle the individual lights).

Made a helper (Lights all) to summarize several energy sensors, all kWh.
The helper GUI does not give options for state_class and device_class. Both were hardcoded in the customize.yaml as “device_class: energy” and “state_class: total_increasing”.

All the individual kWh-sensors used in the group-summarized-helper, in the energy dashboard setup are using the “Lights all” sensor as an upstream devise.

I am getting the “Lights all” sensor as “untracked” in the dashboard. Have I set this up correctly?

Lights all (untracked) means the amount of energy from this sensor that isn’t accounted for in other already displayed children. It doesn’t mean the sensor itself is untracked, it’s just displaying the remainder that isn’t tracked in other devices. If your children devices perfectly account for all the energy of this sensor, then I would expect that bar to be zero.

Aha. Thanks for de clarification. Looks more correctly now.
