How to edit a "Riemann sum integral" helper

[n.3]

Hey,
how can I edit a Rieman sum integral helper? I added this helper as a energy meter, but I want to check which input sensor is used and what integration time is used, because my dashboard shows wrong values.

I checked the config/configurations.yml, but there is nothing and with the wizard I can only set the round.

Second question: The Integration time should be “hours”, right?

best regards

I also have this question. I can’t find any way to modify an entity created with this helper. I suppose I can delete and remake it, but that seems unnecessary.

You can use the developer tools menu to change the state. I was after a means of doing this from an automation/script but haven’t found a way.

That does not survive a restart!

I found my source entities in config/.storage/core.config_entries and have edited the source: and it survived a restart.

With all the advancements in the HA UI, this is an oversight!

Thanks for the tip!
This helped me a lot, I can now even change the source of the sensor.
Indeed an oversight, maybe something for the next WTH, but hopefully earlier

To add to that: I would also expect a reset button in the UI, or even better: a way to set it to any value. The workaround I found is to manually edit the value of the integration state in this file: /config/.storage/core.restore_state
This must be done when HA is not running.

This is the best post I’ve seen on this subject:

HowTo? Re/Set Riemann integration?

Answer found here: ssh to home asstant ha core stop edit /config/.storage/core.restore_state ha core start Reason: The sensor read the last state on startup and polling / overwriting it sometimes. Also the RestoreState class writes all state known states down on tear down / ha stop. If you overwrite a state via the states dev tool or the API, it will not impact the actual device. If the device state is being polled, it will overwrite the state in the state machine the next polling.

Why is it not possible to use the configuration dialog for the helper to re-configure all aspects after the creation?

[petro]

You can change all the settings that will not mess up your values in your database. If you change the other input multipliers your history will be odd as the changes are not retroactive.

Thanks for the answer. Good point. But this should only be a “button for confirmation of data being lost” in the configuration dialog.
The point is, if i want to change these settings, i have to delete and re-create the helper. This can be a little annoying, repeating all the same steps again and again.
It could be much easier

You’re welcome to lead the front on that task. I doubt it would be rejected.

I wish i could. But i am not as familiar with the API as i had to be for this task.
