Power Plug in Energy Dashboard

Configuration
1

I’ve integrated my power and gas into the energy dashboard and really like it.

I’m also using a couple of gosund smart plugs via the LocalTuya integration and would love to integrate these as well. Unfortunately I can not get a custom sensor for these values to appear in the new device dropdown. I’ve tried making my own or using the Riemann sum integration but no luck.
My switch entity is: switch.washingmachine and has the following attributes

current: 0
current_consumption: 0
voltage: 231.6
friendly_name: Schalter Waschmaschine
icon: mdi:washing-machine

Please help me to make a sensor from this that would work with the energy dashboard

cheers

So as this might help somebody I will post my solution to this.

As I was not able to get it working with a template sensor I’m using a mqtt sensor where I post the value every 10 seconds. Then I use the integration sensor to convert it to kWh.
Here’s the yaml:

sensor:
# Power Plugs
  - platform: integration
    source: sensor.drucker_verbrauch
    name: 3D Drucker Verbrauch
    unit_prefix: k
    method: left
    round: 2
    unit: kWh
  - platform: mqtt
    name: "Drucker Verbrauch"
    unique_id: "stromverbrauch_drucker"
    device_class: "power"
    state_class: "measurement"
    unit_of_measurement: "W"
    state_topic: "powerwprinter/main/value"
    value_template: "{{ value }}"

Hope this might help someone.
