Home Assistant Energy Insights: First Release
Over the last few weeks I have been pulling apart my own Home Assistant energy dashboard setup and turning it into something other people can actually install and use.
This project started as my own dashboard stack for solar, battery, EV charging, billing, forecasting, ROI, and general energy analytics. The goal with this first public release was to extract the reusable parts, move the logic into YAML packages, separate source-specific entity mappings into adapters, and publish a version that is not tied to my own Home Assistant instance.
The result is Home Assistant Energy Insights:
It currently includes:
-
a full dashboard bundle with
Overview,Analytics,Solar ROI,EV,Battery,Billing,Forecasting, andConfigviews -
YAML helpers, utility meters, and derived sensors for energy math
-
a Tesla / Powerwall adapter example
-
generic adapter templates for other setups
-
configurable billing, annual true-up, ROI, VPP, and EV source-split logic
Some screenshots are in the repo README and docs/screenshots/ so you can get a sense of the layout and depth before trying it.
This is the first public release, not a finished product. It is already working in my setup and in a clean dev Home Assistant instance, but I fully expect there to be gaps, rough edges, and assumptions that need to be cleaned up as more people try it.
What I would like right now:
-
feedback on the overall structure
-
testing on non-Tesla setups
-
feedback on install friction
-
issues for missing entities, confusing charts, or rough documentation
-
suggestions for additional adapters and smaller install bundles
If you try it, I am especially interested in:
-
what integrations you are using for solar, battery, EV, and utility data
-
what parts of the dashboard were immediately useful
-
what was confusing or too specific to my setup
-
where the install or configuration flow broke down
The main direction from here is to keep improving this version and migrate my own setup over to it as the reusable base. I want this to become a practical energy dashboard stack that people can adapt to their own systems.
If you test it or have feedback, I would appreciate hearing what worked, what did not, and what would make it more useful in your own Home Assistant setup.
