Hi
I checked all documentation and googled and searched the community, but I could not figure out how to solve it.
I was able to get the power consumption for both electricity and heating onto my energy dashboard. It correctly shows the value on my meter (ok for guess, it is converting to kWh instead of GJ, but I upvoted a feature request to be able to change the units in the dashboard).
But my problem is the high initial peak as you can see on the picture. It looks as if the whole energy consumtion of several years happend on day 1 (of course, because it does not know the history of the meter).
But I am wondering, if there is the possibility to set an initial offset so that the dashboard calculates the delta from the starting point. Of course I could create a template sensor and substract the intial value, but that feels kinda odd…
In the picture you will see an ultra high peak - even the other values are not presented anymore.
I know, the data for tomorrow will look “normal” but the peak will f’up the graph for a day, week or month whenever this peak is included in the data to be presented.
Here is my configuration for the sensor based on MQTT:
mqtt:
- sensor:
name: „Fernwärme Verbrauch GJ"
state_topic: "tele/tasmota_690D1B/SENSOR"
json_attributes_topic: "tele/tasmota_690D1B/SENSOR"
value_template: "{{ value_json.KSMC402.HeatEnergyE1 | float }}"
unit_of_measurement: 'GJ'
device_class: energy
