Powercalc - Virtual power sensors

Done it and it appears. No reason without more information.

Hi,

Thanks for your swift answer !

I changed my config as follows:

sensor:
  - platform: powercalc
    create_group: All Hue Lights
    entities:
        - entity_id: light.hue_lightstrip_kast
        - entity_id: light.hue_lightstrip_bar
        - entity_id: light.hue_ambiance_lamp_1_gang
        - entity_id: light.hue_ambiance_lamp_2_gang
        - entity_id: light.hue_color_spot_1_overkapping
        - entity_id: light.hue_color_spot_2_overkapping
        - entity_id: light.hue_color_spot_3_overkapping
        - entity_id: light.hue_color_spot_4_overkapping
        - entity_id: light.hue_color_spot_5_overkapping
        - entity_id: light.hue_color_spot_6_overkapping
        - entity_id: light.hue_color_lamp_1_overkapping
        - entity_id: light.hue_go_master
        - entity_id: light.hue_go_master_2
        - entity_id: light.dimmable_light_6
        - entity_id: light.dimmable_light_7

But there is still no group all_hue_lights or something with a powersensor attribute…

Could you please enable debug logging? See last chapter in readme. Let’s see if this can shed some light on what’s going wrong.

Hi Bram,

I managed to configure the debug, but in my logbook no errors are shown…

bramski · January 31, 2022, 2:15pm

When powercalc has created any entities there must be log entries available with (DEBUG).
Did you restart after enabling debug logging.
En what do you mean with “got a powersensor attribute”. Powercalc only creates extra entities. ie. sensor.hue_ambiance_lamp_1_gang_power, it does not extend existing entities with extra attributes in any way.

Hi Bram,

In best case, I have one entity all_lights_hue with it’s total power and energy meter.

Please find below the debug log, but I think it was the case without the entity_id before the entities:

Could you edit your post to create a preformatted code block for the logs? See the </> icon in WYSIWYG editor.
The logs should include “Creating grouped power sensor” when it tries to create the group sensor, I don’t see that at all, so there is definitely something not right. I would suggest you to turn off auto discovery first as you setup all your entity_id’s manual anyway.

powercalc:
  enable_autodiscovery: false

Than you should only see log entries caused by your sensor configuration and also make sure there are no conflicts.
When you don’t see any log entries after that than make sure your sensor: configuration which you referenced above is actually loading. Maybe you have it in a yml include and there is something wrong with the naming.

It’s not possible to only have a group sensor. Powercalc needs to calculate the correct power for individual lights first (as they all have different models, and configuration methods). Than later on it can aggregate (sum) all the power values of the individual entities into a group sensor.

Hi Bram,

Me again

I followed your instructions and the sensors are created as screenshot above

bramski · January 31, 2022, 8:25pm

Unavailable and “restored: true” indicates to me that they are not created anymore by powercalc (because you have disabled auto discovery now). Because they previously had a state in the database HA will recreated them and list them as unavailable.

This also means that your sensor: configuration is probably not loaded:

sensor:
  - platform: powercalc
    create_group: All Hue Lights
    entities:
        - entity_id: light.hue_lightstrip_kast
        - entity_id: light.hue_lightstrip_bar

You can verify this by checking the logs, there should still be tens of lines of powercalc log entries. As you had previously.

Otherwise you need to debug why the configuration is not loaded correctly. Maybe you have a duplicate sensor: entry or some other issue. I think HA will prevent restarting when this is the case, but I’m not 100% sure. You should also find some clues in the error logs somehow.

I removed everything and started from scratch and its now working…something somewhere must not have been right first time around.

bramski · February 16, 2022, 8:20pm

@tom_l Just wanted to let you know we are making some progress supporting the LIFX lights with the efforts of @jamiedevivoo and myself. See https://github.com/bramstroker/homeassistant-powercalc/pull/566

Adrian_Stanciu · February 17, 2022, 3:52pm

Hi,

Thank you for the work you have put.
I monitor power with the help of some nice zigbee plugs and for lights i have only ikea models tht are in dictionary so i am super happy.
Single thing is that i uset parameter create_group to gather all lights and the sensor that counts them has 4 decimals and i didn’t see (or i skipped) how to round the value to 2 decimals:

- platform: powercalc
  create_group: "all lights"
  entities:
    - entity_id: light.bulb_bedroom
    - entity_id: light.entry_light
    - entity_id: light.bec_bucatarie_1
    - entity_id: light.bec_bucatarie_2
    - entity_id: light.bulb_living_one
    - entity_id: light.bulb_living_two
    - entity_id: light.hallway
    - entity_id: light.bedroom_lamp

bramski · February 17, 2022, 5:16pm

you can add energy_sensor_precision to the global options. However this is only available starting from version 0.18.0, which is currently in beta. If you want you can install the beta v0.18.0-beta.5 or wait a bit for the stable version.

powercalc:
  energy_sensor_precision: 2

What does mean Error Unable to prepare setup for platform powercalc.sensor: (DependencyError(...), 'Could not setup dependencies: device_tracker')

seanblanchfield · February 24, 2022, 4:00pm

Thanks @bramski for the excellent work, and your super quick turnaround on reported issues. I wrote a blog post with details of how I used Powercalc to use to monitor power consumption of 60 out of 69 devices in my house. I included my full config, in case its useful to anyone.

bramski · February 24, 2022, 5:18pm

Very strange because the device_tracker integration is a core integration. Powercalc waits for this integration to load succesfully before it starts it’s own setup. Any other errors in the logs? I have no clue really.

bramski · February 24, 2022, 5:21pm

@seanblanchfield Awesome write up! Cool to see you are using the component this extensive and you got great results. This gives you a lot of insight into power consumption across your house and discover opportunities to save energy.

smile · February 24, 2022, 8:18pm

I also don’t know what is the connection between device_tracker and Powercalc.

Did powercalc work for you before or did you always get this error?

This is one of the dependencies of powercalc. I have added that because you can also create power sensors based on the state of device trackers. To make sure the device_tracker entities are created before powercalc entities.
I did test on my development machine and it seems without this dependency it is also working. So I think it can be safely removed. Will do that soon.

Fingers crossed you are right because I use the device_tracker functionality
