I have a lot of single sensors with energy and total increasing. However, it is too confusing to display each individual sensor in the Energy Dashboard. For this reason I would like to summarize all sensors in the Energy Dashboard and thought I would make a new sensor with type sum:
platform: group
type: sum
state_class: total_increasing
unit_of_measurement: kWh
device_class: energy
entities:
I use this to, but do not understand the ignore_non_numeric option.

platform: group
name: "Group - Household Yearly Energy (kWh)"
unique_id: "group_household_yearly_energy_kwh"
type: sum
unit_of_measurement: kWh
device_class: energy
state_class: total_increasing
ignore_non_numeric: false
entities:
- sensor.vaatwasser_yearly_energy_kwh
- sensor.wasmachine_yearly_energy_kwh
- sensor.wasdroger_yearly_energy_kwh
If I add a non existing sensor the group still shows a value instead of “unavailable”.
Is this correct?
