Strange behavior of Energy Dashboard (bug?)

[tom_l]

@modernhistorian

what is the point of an “entity tracking total costs?”

Some people are charged different rates at different times during the day, or even charged different rates depending on their total consumption.

This can be easily automated to change a cost sensor.

@modernhistorian

Is there anyone who uses the energy dashboard to track electric costs, and who incurs charges in addition to a per kWh cost,

Quite a few people judging by this:

Energy: Add fixed daily cost

In Australia we generally have 2 types of charge for electricity. A usage charge per kWh, and a fixed supply charge per day. It would be great to add a fixed daily cost to the energy cost calculation. I’m thinking like an extra entry field here: [image]
