I’m reading out my smart meter and send the data via MQTT where i can pick it up in Home Assistant. About once or twice a day a nonsense reading is sent which completely messes up my energy dashboard and the tracked costs. Manually fixing the history values is tedious and also doesn’t work with the costs.
So i have created a filter that filters out the outliers of my original sensor. How can i add my new sensor to the energy dashboard without loosing the already recorded data?
- Adding the new sensor and removing the old one removes the old data from the dashboard
- Just adding the new one without removing the old one gives me double the data
- Setting the unique id of the new sensor to the one of the old sensor and choosing something else for the old one leads to the same result as #1.
Is there a way to do this?
Thanks, i appreciate any help!
