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. Where can I add some “if” statement to report 0 watt consumtion when turned off? Thanks substitutions: dev…

Or use the template sensor with a lambda in Esphome, using the state of the light. On =15W off=0W [image] Template Sensor Instructions for setting up template sensors with ESPHome.

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?

light.on_turn_on / light.on_turn_off Trigger :point_down: https://esphome.io/components/light/index.html#light-on-turn-on-light-on-turn-off-trigger

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. No need for the interva…

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 substitutions: devicename: "livingrooml…
