Hi. I’m struggling to expose knx energy sensor to the Energy dashboard.
It doesn’t appear under Electricity Grid Consumption dropdown list.
I have set up the sensor as following:
knx sensors:
- name: 3F kogutarbimine kWh
state_address: "3/0/4"
type: "energy"
state_class: total_increasing
customize.yaml:
sensor.3f_kogutarbimine_kwh:
unit_of_measurement: kWh
What am I missing?
Sensor type “energy” is used for DPT 14.031 with unit Joule.
Looking at your current value I guess this is not the correct DPT. See KNX - Home Assistant
Good point. I thought that by over-riding the unit would make it work.
I did change the sensor configuration as following:
- name: 3F kogutarbimine kWh
state_address: "3/0/4"
type: "active_energy_kwh"
state_class: total_increasing
And canceled the customize over-ride.
Unfortunately I still can’t see the sensor value in the dropdown menu…
Does it have device_class: energy now in the states view? It should be assigned automatically for active_energy_kwh.
hm this seems ok. Maybe the recorder / long term history thing has some wrong information from the earlier config. I don’t know how to reset this though.
I looked at another device which is showing up in the dropdown menu.
It had some additional parameters/attributes which I provided via customize.yaml to the sensor in question as well:
It still didn’t work.
I don’t understand what are the preconditions for the energy dashboard to accept sensor as energy consumption input…
Now sure but dousent Energy need to know the last_reset value to compute? remember reading something about that not long ago.
