Need help with calculation of energy consumption in price once a day

Configuration
1

Hi !

I’m running into trouble trying to make a calculation of energy price once per day.
This template is what i use right now and i’m showing it on a card. Instead i wan’t to calculate it once per day, so it does not update as frequently and then display that value on a group together with power and the switch.

platform: template
sensors:
  dehumidifier_price:
    value_template: '{{ (states.sensor.dehumidifier_switch6_energy.state | float * 2.32) | round(0) }}' 
    friendly_name: 'Total expense'
    unit_of_measurement: 'kr'

I’m very new to templating and i could not find a guide pointing me in the right direction so i hope someone here could find the time and help me out.
This is the automation i tried to set up, but my brain grinded to a halt when i got to the “action:”

- alias: 'Update total expence'
  trigger:
  - platform: time
    at: '01:00:00'
  condition:
    condition: state
    entity_id: switch.dehumidifier_switch6_switch
    state: 'on'

This is where i tried but failed (the 2.32 is my electricity cost):

  action:
    service_template: >
    '{{ (states.sensor.dehumidifier_switch6_energy.state | float * 2.32) | round(0) }}' 
    entity_id: sensor.dehumidifier_price

Thank you!

Hi,

did you get anywhere with it? what would be great is to adjust these rates/tariffs using a calendar.or something.

I have many sonoff pow’s scattered across the home and would really love to get actual energy consumption (even if not accurate).

regards,
