I am using this RPI Power Monitor to monitor the power usage in my shop. Using the code from this MQTT “add-on” I am able to get values via MQTT to my HA setup via MQTT sensors, and the whole shop power using an intigration.
What i’d like to be able to do is get the 4 sensors (air compressor, plasma cutter, Server outlet, & Sarahs Bench) to be tracking on the energy dashboard as well, but they dont shop up as available sensors.
My whole “house use” sensor was added via the sensors.yaml to get it to show up as grid usage in the energy dashboard setup.

How ever when I try to add the others in a similar fasion

it causes my HA server (RPI 4 B+ 8gb) to get about 90% through start up then it locks up. I essentially get anough time to remove those lines of code and hit save before it locks up, then I have to reset it and shes good as new.
IS there a way to take these sensors and incorporate them into the Energy Dashboard like my outlets and other power trackers? I would really like everything organized on it.
