@gomble thanks for the great write-up how to get the Grünbeck SoftliQ SDx data into Home Assistant.
EDIT 11/10/2022:
I adapted the below config to be used with water statistics in energy dashboard. If you used the config before
a) add device_class: water to the sensors gruenbeck_weichwassermenge and grunbeck_gesamtwassermenge
b) change the unit of measurement from l to L for the same sensors as in a). It should look like this:
unit_of_measurement: "L"
device_class: water
c) After a reload of the template configuration, make sure to change the unit under “Developer tools” → “Statistics” from l to L for both sensors and the affected counters. This might be only possible, after you got new sensor values. So be patient and look for the error sign in the developers statistics tab.
START HOW TO
Inspired from the iOBroker forum, I rebuilt one main view of the Grünbeck (Android) app in Home Assistant (all text is generated from the data from the water softener):
(Sorry for the German in the screenshot and the following yaml code)
To get to this screen:
1.) Follow the instructions on how to get the SoftliQ SDx data into Home Assistant from the posts above: New Integration: Grünbeck softliQ - #29 by gomble
2.) I used the following MQTT sensors in configuration.yaml:
# Grünbeck water softener via iOBroker and MQTT
# EDIT 8th June 2022: changed to MQTT platform
# EDIT 10th November 2022: made compatible with water in energy dashboard

Exchange all “BSxxx” with your ID you see in iOBroker MQTT settings. Ensure to enable all needed MQTT messages in iOBroker and also select “retain”.
3.) Create the following 6 Utility Meter (Link to Integrations: Add integration – My Home Assistant)
a) for soft water consumption the entity “sensor.grunbeck_weichwassermenge” is the input sensor.
- grunbeck_weichwassermenge_tag (meter reset cycle: daily)
- grunbeck_weichwassermenge_monat (meter reset cycle: monthly)
- grunbeck_weichwassermenge_jahr (meter reset cycle: yearly)
b) for salt consumption the entity “sensor.grunbeck_salz_verbrauch” is the input sensor.
- grunbeck_salz_verbrauch_tag (meter reset cycle: daily)
- grunbeck_salz_verbrauch_monat (meter reset cycle: monthly)
- grunbeck_salz_verbrauch_jahr (meter reset cycle: yearly)
4.) Upload the picture from the end of this post to www/picture/Gruenbeck.png

optional) If you would like to calculate the total water consumption (soft water + blend water) without the cleaning water, you can use this sensor in configuration.yaml. I do not use this information in the picture but in my statistics:
template:
- sensor:
- name: "Grünbeck Gesamtwassermenge"
unique_id: grunbeck_gesamtwassermenge
unit_of_measurement: "L"
state_class: total_increasing
device_class: water
state: >-
{% set wwh = states("sensor.grunbeck_weichwasser_harte")|float(0) %}
{% set rwh = states("sensor.grunbeck_rohwasser_harte")|float(0) %}
{% set wwm = states("sensor.grunbeck_weichwassermenge")|float(0) %}
{% if (is_number(wwh) and (wwh > 1)) and (is_number(rwh) and (rwh > 1)) and (is_number(wwm) and (wwm > 1)) %}
{% set gwn = ((wwh*wwm)/(rwh-wwh)+wwm)|round(4) |float(unavailable) %}
{% endif %}
{% if is_number(gwn) %}
{{ gwn }}
{% endif %}
Empty picture for the background of the “picture-elements” card:
I will test this 
IP (broker), username, password are defined client-side (= publish-device). Username/PW are from HA-Users → you can also create a new HA-user just for MQTT.
