Initial Value for sum integral sensor

1

I have created in my configuration a sum integral sensor for my power meter reading.

Its working find, but I want to set the actual value of my powermeter.

At the moment he is starting vom 0. Butt I want to set the initial value to 789kWh.

Can I set this in the UI or in the SQL? I have access to mysql by using phpmyadmin.

  - platform: integration
    name: Stromzählerstand
    source: sensor.total_energy
    unit_prefix: k
    unit_time: h
    round: 0
    unique_id: stromzaehlerstand

I see this request a lot and I still don’t understand it. The important data is how much you use an hour/day/month not the absolute value.

But if you feel the need for it then the easiest way is to feed your sensor to a utility meter helper (with no cycle specified, so it counts up forever), and use the utility meter calibration service in Developer Tools → Services to set the value the same as your meter.

This is for statistic use and to send the absolute Value to my energy provider every year.

Very Complicated, but Its working. Thank you :slight_smile:
