Hello,
I configured the Utility Meter
reflecting my energy contract creating entities for a daily, monthly and bimonthly cost.
utility_meter:
daily_energy:
name: "Energia giornaliera"
source: sensor.total_energy
tariffs:
- F1
- F2
- F3
montly_energy:
name: "Energia Bimestrale"
source: sensor.total_energy
cycle: monthly
tariffs:
- F1
- F2
- F3
bimontly_energy:
name: "Energia Bimestrale"
source: sensor.total_energy
cycle: bimonthly
tariffs:
- F1
- F2
- F3
Then I created the automation which assigns the right tariff based on time of the day.
Now I would like to track the cost I pay per day/month. If I understand well I have to use a template to do the math creating new entities. Right?
But when I should do the math? Maybe I need to use offset
or cron
to have a known and exact time when my entities reset themselves and them at midnight (or a second before) do the math…
Sorry but I’m a little bit confused and I would need some suggestions.
Thanks
