Hi All,
I am trying to create a gauge that shows the available power budget for this month.
The P1 port is connected and shows the usage in kWh.
Than i have made 12 input numbers with the correct power budget.
Now i would like to display the difference in a gauge card. I was thinking to let the value be calculated via a template sensor.
- platform: template
sensors:
usagebudget:
value_template: '{{ ((float(states.input_number.powerbudgetjan.state)) - (float(states.sensor.power_consumption.state))) | round(2) }}'
unit_of_measurement: 'kWh'
friendly_name: 'Power budget'
icon_template: "mdi:flash"
I do not know how to get the correct input_number in the template without having to change it every month. (Right now the name of the input_number is "powerbudgetjan, powerbudgetfeb, enz enz). Does anybody have tips for me?
Thank you!
Geert
