So I’m sure I’m missing something simple but after a month or so of trying to find the right needle in this haystack I’m resorting to asking the collective wisdom.
I’m trying to get ontop of the energy usage in our house and so I’ve got a couple of power monitoring smart plugs running ESPHome from MyLocalBytes these are running and reporting back the power usage.
I believe the issue is the device_class being set to power not energy. This is from what I can see digging through other people’s post previously.
I’ve attempted to follow the instructions for adding a ‘Riemann sum’ integration but that still come through with a device_class of power. When I manually set the device_class:energy I get;
I’m sure I’m missing something simple but can’t for the life of me work it out.
ESPHome Config
substitutions:
name: localbytes-plug-pm-8ca026
friendly_name: Car Plug
device_class: "energy"
packages:
localbytes.plug-pm: github://LocalBytes/esphome-localbytes-plug/localbytes-plug-pm.yaml@main
esphome:
name: ${name}
name_add_mac_suffix: false
friendly_name: ${friendly_name}
api:
encryption:
key: [--REMOVED--]
wifi:
ssid: !secret wifi_ssid
password: !secret wifi_password
This appears to return a value
So off to the yaml
- platform: integration
source: sensor.car_plug_power
name: car_plug_energy
method: left
round: 2
# device_class: energy
unit_prefix: k
This also works
