Hello Everybody,
I bought a sonoff POWR3 a few days ago, and I add it to my HA system.
On my system I have a button to switch on/off my sonoff but I haven’t informations about power and current.
When I’m going to the dev tools I have informations about the power and current.
Is there anyway to show up these informations?
Thanks you for you help.
You will need to create template sensors
I’ve already created a template but it doesn’t work.
- platform: template
sensors:
today_power:
friendly_name: XXXXX
unit_of_measurement: kW
value_template: “{{ state_attr(‘switch.XXXX’, ‘power’) }}”
Difficult to say that way :
And did you reload templates, or restart HA ?
I reloaded HA but I don’t have power/curent consumption.
How did you add it to HA?
For my Sonoff POW R3 (that’s the big 25 amp unit) I added a template like this:
State template:
{{ state_attr('switch.XXX', 'power').replace(" W", "") }}
Unit: W (capital)
Device class: Power
State class: Measurement
To get the value for “XXX” above, first I had to add the eWeLink add-on to Home Assistant. Then I had to login to the assistant which let me see my device on the local network. Then I was able to find their entity ID from the switch that was added.
My YAML varies slightly from the previous suggestion as I have to remove the trailing “ W” from the value to get the numerical wattage. It also doesn’t appear to update very regularly, perhaps only a couple of times per day.
