Right now, if I have multiple integrations measuring the same power consumption data, if I reference them all in the energy dashboard, the data is summed. I’d prefer if there were alternate options to combine or resolve the data, like using a source as a fallback when a primary sensor lacks data, or decide which data to use based on the age.
Specifically, it’d be fantastic to be able to combine usage from Opower AND data from my solar generation in the energy dashboard
Opower isn’t real-time, and its history goes back much farther than my solar generation’s history, so it’d be great if I could have the energy dashboard use the real time solar data until opower gets its info, display Opower data for historical comparisons, or only use opower data for time/date ranges where the data from my solar system wasn’t available.
This would likely be helpful for anyone who has to migrate from one integration/device to another so they don’t lose historic data just because they changed brands or sensors.
Finally, if we could keep both data sets without it being summed, it would be tremendously useful to see if various sensors are in agreement on the amount of energy used.
