How would one write a function/template for propane gas and energy monitoring?

Configuration

Your code looks awesome - and I would test it - if the energy settings hadn’t disappeared from my control panel in Home Assistant with the latest updates…

I think you have the magic code that will handle propane energy from things like Tank Utility and others!

Now if I could just find where that config went…

In case anyone is following this thread for directions, the latest 2022 update had a breaking change to the location of the “Energy” feature. Its now underneath Configuration → Dashboards → Energy.

UPDATE
Error in Code Above - There is an error in my code for the automation. Maybe you or someone else can tell me what I am doing wrong.

Revised yaml to fix value_template and quotes. Will know more after I use some propane and test.

Any luck? I am still trying to get mine to display.

Yes seems to be working. Not sure about day to day sum. May need to change the settings to not reset everyday because it is a consumption sensor (goes positive one day and when nothing is used goes negative amt)

I got it working with this thread:
