Hello,
I was wondering if there’s a lot of work required to add the energy usage functionality to the water usage part of the energy dashboard.
Where I’m living we get a second water meter to track “outside water” that is excempt from sewage cost.
This second meter is placed behind the main water meter though. So it’s basically a meter to track the “outside water” consumption.
In its current state I’m not able to track this properly in HA energy dashboard because adding this as a water meter gets me wrong values (it’s not a source).
I hope this is understandable (english is not my main language) and can be added easily in the future (the basic functionality should already be there?). I would appreciate that.
Can’t wait for this as well. In my case it’s dishwasher and washing machine right now, however, if I could track it individually, I could potentially track watering system as well.
Overall, I think it would make sense if both electricity and water would display individual pricing and proportion on a stacked bar graph instead.
The same request, I have small propriety with 10 flats. Additional there is internal main heater for hot water so totally I have 20 flats water meters: 10 for cold water and 10 for hot water. Moreover I have one main water meter, one for garden water meter, next one for fire hydrant and last sub-main for hot water boiler for all flats.
Summary I one source of water and 23 internal meters, in details:
1 main water supply (last one on below picture)
10 cold for flats (named “ZW” on below picture)
10 hot water for flats (named (“CWU” on below picture)
When adding main water or sub-main for hot water for dashboard then destroy logic of dashboard (all is adding together what is non-sens in this cause). Please note similar requested functionality is for electric, battery and pv. For water is similar logic when have main water (optional sum-main) and fished water meters. Additional any different water between main and sum of finish water can detect a water leak.
Also for electric dashboard last months appear “Individual devices TOTAL usage”, therefore can appear the same for water, code of for dashboard should be the same only need change source from electric detail usage to water detail usage.
PS. Additional there is no possibility change display order of individual water meters on details usage list, there are listed in order of adding intems. So now after 22 water meters hard to me change order, need deleted all and add again all. Propose this change too.
Same here, I thought I could also simply add the washer as a device which consumes the water, the same way as I add my tesla charger consuming the electricity
any update, or other integrations that would mimick this ?
I have a water valve that monitors the whole system, and a washing machine with an internal meter…
I have a main meter for the total usage, one for the hot water out of the water heater and one for outdoors water spigots.
Seeing all three properly displayed in the energy dashboard would be nice!
At the moment, just knowing how much hot water I use in a day is kind of a chore.
For now, I suppose that this could be solved with couple of helpers, right? The main water meter one minus all of the other sources and then all separate sources. With this the sum would be correct. I used something like this for my electricity consumption before the untracked consumption option was added. I had a helper that summed all tracked consumption for separate devices and one that was the total consumption minus the tracked one.
I understood it as that PR was closed because the approach in that specific PR did not follow the same standard as for electricity in the energy dashboard, so needs a new non-trivial solution:
“I tried a simplified approach to get a quick win but realize it won’t cover some cases. So we have to go with the “individual devices” way, which is already established as a precedent by energy devices. This would just take a bit more time than I have for this right now, so I’ll have to postpone it a bit.”
