Hi,
I have set up several utility meters. Here are relevant parts from my configuration
# Utility meters
utility_meter:
apartment_1_montly_energy:
source: sensor.apartment_1_energy_kwh
cycle: monthly
apartment_1_daily_energy:
source: sensor.apartment_1_energy_kwh
cycle: daily
apartment_2_montly_energy:
source: sensor.apartment_2_energy_kwh
cycle: monthly
apartment_2_daily_energy:
source: sensor.apartment_2_energy_kwh
cycle: daily
apartment_3_montly_energy:
source: sensor.apartment_3_energy_kwh
cycle: monthly
apartment_3_daily_energy:
source: sensor.apartment_3_energy_kwh
cycle: daily
apartment_4_montly_energy:
source: sensor.apartment_4_energy_kwh
cycle: monthly
Here is the sensors configuration
- platform: mqtt
name: "Apartment 1 power"
state_topic: "panel/sensor/apartment_1_power/state"
availability_topic: "panel/status"
unit_of_measurement: "W"
- platform: mqtt
name: "Apartment 1 energy"
state_topic: "panel/sensor/apartment_1_energy/state"
availability_topic: "panel/status"
unit_of_measurement: "Wh"
- platform: mqtt
name: "Apartment 1 power factor"
state_topic: "panel/sensor/apartment_1_power_factor/state"
availability_topic: "panel/status"
unit_of_measurement: ""

state_topic: "panel/sensor/apartment_2_power/state"

unit_of_measurement: "W"
- platform: mqtt
name: "Apartment 3 energy"
state_topic: "panel/sensor/apartment_3_energy/state"
availability_topic: "panel/status"
unit_of_measurement: "Wh"
- platform: mqtt
name: "Apartment 3 power factor"
state_topic: "panel/sensor/apartment_3_power_factor/state"
availability_topic: "panel/status"
unit_of_measurement: ""
- platform: mqtt
name: "Apartment 4 power"
state_topic: "panel/sensor/apartment_4_power/state"
availability_topic: "panel/status"
unit_of_measurement: "W"
- platform: mqtt
name: "Apartment 4 energy"
state_topic: "panel/sensor/apartment_4_energy/state"
availability_topic: "panel/status"
unit_of_measurement: "Wh"
- platform: mqtt
name: "Apartment 4 power factor"
state_topic: "panel/sensor/apartment_4_power_factor/state"
availability_topic: "panel/status"
unit_of_measurement: ""
Because the sensor provided enrgy value is in Wh, I have created template sensors to convert it to kWh, as per suggestions in other threads:
- platform: template
sensors:
apartment_1_energy_kwh:
value_template: "{{ state_attr('sensor.apartment_1_energy') | int / 1000 | round(2)}}"
unit_of_measurement: kWh
apartment_2_energy_kwh:
value_template: "{{ state_attr('sensor.apartment_2_energy') | int / 1000 | round(2)}}"
unit_of_measurement: kWh
apartment_3_energy_kwh:
value_template: "{{ state_attr('sensor.apartment_3_energy') | int / 1000 | round(2)}}"
unit_of_measurement: kWh
apartment_4_energy_kwh:
value_template: "{{ state_attr('sensor.apartment_4_energy') | int / 1000 | round(2)}}"
unit_of_measurement: kWh
Now, I think I am getting the proper value from the utility meter, however, some of the utility meters have “unit_of_measurement” as Wh, and the rest of them don’t have “unit_of_measurement” at all
Please see following screenshots of the daily energy meters, the same happens with the monthly ones, 1 and 2 have units, and 3 and 4 don’t
For me, this doesn’t make any sense, as utility meter does not have units, as specified in the docs here:
Can anyone help me with this?
Thank you
