Set previously consumed kwh in Energy Management

[elmaxador (Max)]

Hey all,

I just got done setting up the Glow ESPHome Integration for my powermeter.
Now I am wondering how I can set the total Energy to the current value of my powermeter to reflect the correct useage. Is that something I need to do within the energy dashboard to also set the date range when this energy was consumed?

Thanks for your help

The option does not seem to exist, but there are several Feature Request for it.

WTH is there no way to add historical data to Energy Dashboard

Homeassistant wasn’t my first love (but will probably be my last). In previous life I have been recording my energy consumption in Emoncms. I was hoping that some bright light by now would have managed to create a script allowing to import historical data into Homeassistant, but either I am the only person looking for this or it is too hard to do. Would be awesome if this gets added to Homeassistant!

Add historic data to Energy dashboard

******* EDIT: this seems older, so vote their too.******* I see many ask for features to include data from the energy providers, like f.ex. Green Button Project, but also other local or national providers with same offerings of data. The issue with these data is that they are not live, but delayed with typical 24 hours. Instead of adding all these providers, then I would like a feature to add historic data to the energy dashboard, so when we can get our hands on those data, then we can add t…

Import old energy readings for use in energy dashboard

I am a homeassistant enthusiast since about 4 years and have been using Emoncms now for about 7 years. As homeassistant is now able to show historic energy usage it would be great if I could import historic data into the energy dashboard so that I can kill all legacy systems and have 1 holistic view of my energy consumption. Couldn’t care too much about the way it would allow me to import that data (excel, CSV, SQL) as long as it would be possible.

ok thanks. I already voted but what about setting the Total Energy Sensor to a certain amount? That would already be enough for me.

Hi, i’m also looking for a solution.
Is your Energy Sensor based on a Pulse Sensor in ESPHome?
… there is a service, where ich can set the total pulses, but it doesn’t work for me (… i’m a beginner in ESPHome).

It would be great if someone can explain how to initialize my sensor with the value of my real power meter

Hi Carsten,

I use the HomeAssistant Glow Project but no service is available where I can set the total pulses.
I will try with an Offset.
