Hi, I have this configuration for Athom 15W Bulb which doesn’t have power consumptions and I created a fake template sensor. All ok but even if the light is off, will report same wattage.

You could just use a on_turn_on on on_turn_off on your light to have it published the power to the template sensor and get rid of some code you have already (like interval).
Or you could use a custom component from @nuttytree which actually just exactly covers your use case

You could do it with this, works great for devices with no power sensors
In the last few weeks I have been working on a custom component to get virtual power sensors for your lights or other devices. It is stable enough right now to share it on this forum and make dedicated topic for it.
The component provides multiple strategies to calculate estimated power consumption. One of the most interesting is the LUT method (using lookup tables). Some community members and me have taken measurements for all kind of different brightness/hue/saturation settings and their resp…

Or use the template sensor with a lambda in Esphome, using the state of the light. On =15W off=0W

Ok, but where should I use a on_turn_on on on_turn_off on your light to have it published the power to the template sensor?
Not sure why you’re using MQTT when you are using the api?
This will generate a sensor in HA that is 15W when on and 0W when off and a daily energy usage sensor that update every 60s.
Just need the addition of an id in the light section and a lambda in the template sensor.interval: section
Issue is that if you dim it and it is using less than 15W it will still say 15W, using the custom component above will approximate the correct power usage for different dim levels using Linear mode:

Thank you all for the ideas, with my little knowlege I put some pieces side by side and created a sensor with this integration ESPHome-Devices/components/gpio_switch_with_power at df2c532d13f1f4ba2a4d9ad7b390999fb124c41c · nuttytree/ESPHome-Devices · GitHub
