Track Power Usage

Configuration
1

I’m trying to track the power usage each of my entities (lights, TVs, etc) are using while they are on. I figured this would fairly simple for HA but when I start looking at my light entities none of them show and off-on history though I know they have been on. The history of the entity has “No state history found” and “No logbook entries found”.

Appreciate any help

Thanks,

Robert

Have you excluded them from the recorder?

What type of lights are you using?

Thanks Tom,

They are Hue lights. I not familiar with the recorder, so if I have, I haven’t done it purposely. Where do I find it?

If you have not specifically excluded anything then that is not your issue.

5

Yeah, I’ve definitely not excluded any of them.

6

Any other ideas why the history isn’t showing?

7

Do other entities have correctly shown history?

Is it just your hue lights?

Nothing is show usage data. Though I know for a fact they have been used.

Lights, Switches, Sensors, etc all have the same No state history found” and “No logbook entries found”.

Just checked a TV and it shows it has been on since 11AM, when I know it hasn’t.

Look at the configuration / logs menu. Does it show database errors?

If so, you need to either repair or delete the recorder database. There are many, many posts on the forum sowing how to do this. Use the search function.

Thanks Tom. Deleting the recorder database worked. I’m starting to see histories again.
