Hi,
Somehow the software in my digital power meter was changed making the gas usage unavailable.
As I can pull the data from the meter via MQTT as well I opted to do it that way instead.
I removed the old entity and renamed the new entity so it would match the old one.
This resulted in a negative value in the energy dashboard matching the total usage registered by the meter which made 3 years of data ending up on 0 again.
I also tried to just leave the old sensor active as isn’t available anymore, thus not adding any new data and adding the new sensor, hoping that it would start from 0 again.
However this resulted in adding the total usage of the sensor 3 times during the last year. Breaking my energy data as well…
So I’ve restored my backup once again and I still don’t have any gas data coming in.
In another post someone mentioned that this is caused by recent changes in the way home assistant stores historical data, making this issue impossible to fix at this point.
So by posting this I’m hoping that:
a) someone might have a another fix that might work for me
b) this gets picked up by the devs, so they might fix this issue.
It’s a long shot but you never know.
Thanks in advance!
Kim
