Im not sure how to approach this so looking for some guidance.
I want to display the cost of energy used for a single electrical appliance whilst the unit is on and being used. This will then have to reset and start again when the appliance is turned back on.
The appliance is our oven and is connected via a Shelly1PM.
My wife needs this as she’s working from home, cooking cakes etc. and needs to know costs involved.
As the Shelly in Home assistant shows ‘ON’ all the time, I thought I could trigger the start and end times for measuring by the sensor.oven_power
ie, when idle, the sensor.oven_power
is showing 0.8W, so was thinking when the sensor.oven_power
goes above 2W, start recording the power and then when the sensor.oven_power
falls below 2W for 15 minutes, end the monitoring.
It’s creating the above ‘recording sensor’ to start and stop recording I’m not sure on.
Would be grateful for some feedback/ideas.
Thank you.
