I’ve recently integrated a Iotawatt to bring my power usaged data into Home Assistant and I’m using the Fronius integration to bring in my solar data.
I have a few questions about this data and some issues I’m seeing.
-
The values in the ‘Energy distribution’ panel under the Energy dashboard. Home, grid, solar; are these values available anywhere as sensors? I’d like to use them elsewhere.

I’ve created a utility sensor generated from a sensor provided by Iotawatt that is a total_increasing and measured in Wh. If I use the same source sensor for the Energy dashboard grid consumption sensor they both report very different values.
You can see in the below image; The ‘Home’ value reads 60.7 kWh where my ‘Usage Wh’ (which is the utility sensor) reads 23,161. Both are using the same Usage.wh sensor.
I’ve attached a image of my source sensor also so you can see its in Wh and not watts.
Could anyone shed any light on what I might be doing wrong? Thanks
