Here are my 2 sensors, one to show total watts of power being consumed and one to show cost per day estimate (in realtime). I don’t know how the switches work, I never used them, but this is the only useful information you can get out of this crappy MQTT server.
From what I can see, your watt sensor should work. Other power usage data, I believe will prove to be useless.
Thank you for the example … It got now Power, ReactivePower, Voltage … but I found a bug of my hassio (0.86.4) … if I set the option “name: xxx” in my configuration the sensor is gone without any error … without a name value it works fine. Wondering that it works in your config.
I can also show the status of the Smappee switch but not able to control.
The point is that smappee device discovery doesn’t really work either so why pay for it… Probably best just to have smart switches that give you energy usage instead.
I was able to get the smappee integration to work, however I dont see any entities in the entity register. I had to look in the debug log to find out the entity_id of the smappee sensors
