Reset energy sensor

hello, I created a sensor to read an energy value in kwh using the "Integration - Riemann sum integral ". I need to reset this value and restart it with a digital input. How can I do?

Hi,

If I understand your question correctly you can ā€˜calibrateā€™ your sensor reading by placing any value you want into that sensor. This is useful if using an ā€˜increasing_totalā€™ sensor to log energy consumption, and you want your HA reading to match your actual meter reading.

If you go to Developer Tools > Services and add this yaml (below) to the box, it should replace the current sensor value with 30208. You would click the ā€˜Call Serviceā€™ button to calibrate with this value you have entered. The Call Service button will change to a green checkmark if successful. The value can be whatever you want - zero, or the current reading on your meter.

service: utility_meter.calibrate
target:
  entity_id: sensor.gas_meter
data:
  value: '30208'

Just change the entity_id: to match your own sensor name, and change the value between the quotes to whatever value you need.

I hope this helps,

Cheers,

Mike.
