Yes, having all your utilities in the same space would be great! HA’s general idea to support saving the planet should include water usage as well!

Adding water would be great! (water usage, rainfall,…)
Now, everyone is re-inventing the wheel (dutch??:wink: ) for water… Influxdb, grafana,…

I concur, would love to add my water usage in a “Utility” screen.

In related news, the HomeWizard Energy integration has added support for Watermeters in HA 2022.8 so it also groups both Energy and Water under the same platform.

It would be nice to be able to make multiple dashboards for these utilities.
My office is at a different address than my home.
Trough VPN I can control the lighting and measure the energy consumption from home.
I have 2 gas meters, 2 electricity meters and 2 waters meters. I would love 2 dashboards.
Also interesting for people with a second / vacation home.

I also would like to see a utility dashboard which includes water consumption.
I have also previously asked if the energy dashboard can be filtered by “area” since I have more than one location monitored by a single HA instance. This would be a useful addition to a re-vamped utility dashboard.

I as well would be in huge favor to either make it possible to make a second independ energy dashboard or add a location to the energy entities so i can decide what i want to show and make a dashboard out of that.

I too would like to be able to add water consumption.

Yes! This would be a great feature!

We need one place for all the utility meters and their costs for the billing cycle/history.

My main interest right now is for water but I can see other utilities that can be measured. For example, monthly internet bandwidth/traffic that leads to different pricing tiers can also be there.

Simply put, as the original author says, rename or create a Utilities page to include everything…

Multi “Energy” dashboards was a better option

Was very sad to learn that I couldn’t add my water consumption to be monitored in the same way gas and electricity is. Would love to see this feature implemented.

Would really appreciate to include water and other ressources (not limited) in an “ressources” dashboard. Utility meter is not enough as the interest of this dashboard is to be able to analyse per different period the consumption.
In fact, I was really surprised that it was not a part of this dashboard while trying to include it in a class or something similar !

I vote for this!
Would like to add my solarboiler/woodstoveboiler as a battery to the dashboard, since its a kind of battery for heating. Also a lot of houses in the Netherlands for example are heated by a hot water network, instead of gas

This should be a priority now with the whole Russia thing.

The energy utility! dashboard needs more TLC.

I love the dashboard for electricity and would also like to track LNG and water consumption in a similar format. Thank you!

41

Agreed, would be good to see all costs and utilty consumption in a single dashboard :slightly_smiling_face:

42

Water measurement would be a nice addition.

43

FYI, looks like emontnemery and epenet are working on some underlying implementations needed for adding “water” as a new device class which will be needed for water consumption measurements under the existing energy integration in a unified way:
