Manually calculating power consumption of lights

Configuration
46

@tbloth, I have the template below for calculating total light power based on the template sensor above, my naming convention of sensor.*light_power or sensor.*lamp_power, and inspiration from this post.

- platform: template
  sensors:
    sum_power_consumption_lights:
      friendly_name: "Total Light Power Consumption"
      unit_of_measurement: 'W'
      icon_template: mdi:home-lightbulb-outline
      value_template: >
        {%- macro wildcard(entity_ids, select1, select2) %}
          {%- for entity_id in entity_ids %}
            {% set state_value = states(entity_id) %}
            {%- if select1 in entity_id or select2 in entity_id %}
              {{- state_value }}{{ '' if loop.last else ',' }}
            {%- endif %}
          {%- endfor %}
        {%- endmacro %}

        {% set entity_ids = states.sensor | selectattr('attributes.device_class', '==', 'power') | map(attribute='entity_id') %}
        {{ wildcard(entity_ids, 'light_power','lamp_power').split(',') | map('float') | sum | round(2) }}
