I would also like to know how to get the KWh into Home Assistant.
You have to use the integration and the utility meter and all will be ok.
this is my example
#Template Integration
- platform: integration
source: sensor.smartplug01_current_consumption
name: smartplug01_energy_spent
unit_prefix: k
round: 2
and Utility meter
# Geladeira
kwh_gasto_dia_ge:
source: sensor.smartplug01_energy_spent
cycle: daily
kwh_gasto_semana_ge:
source: sensor.smartplug01_energy_spent
cycle: weekly
kwh_gasto_mes_ge:
source: sensor.smartplug01_energy_spent
cycle: monthly
There is the integration first
sensor:
- platform: integration
source: sensor.plug_1_power
name: energy_spent01
method: left
unit_prefix: k
round: 2
and then the meter
utility_meter:
dailykitch1_energy:
source: sensor.energy_spent01
cycle: daily
This can be daily, weekly, monthly etc…

what is the latest method to add local tuya with energy monitoring? I have successfully installed local tuya, through both UI and YAML methods. what I am missing is the Current, Power, Voltage and total energy(KWh) measure available in tuya/smart home apps.
what should be entered here

can you share your yaml code for local tuya or if done from UI then how?
Finally made it to work.
- Followed the following video to find the local key and device id.
- Used config flow method to setup
- first setup switch id 1
- select sensor and use following for each sensor total of 4 sensors.
- following id’s should be used
ID 1 is for switch
ID 4 is the current unit used will be "mA"
ID 5 is power/consumption unit will be "W" scaling factor "0.1"
ID 6 is Voltage Unit will be "V" scaling factor "0.1"

Just a question here. I have this all setup with my iBBQ temp probes. It works great. But a BBQ probe is something not online all the time. In fact it is offline way more than online. Is there some setting to prevent the 8000 log entries failing to connect? Or do I just disable in HA?
Finally got my plugs working on local Tuya, with energy monitoring. For those still trying: the part that had me stumped was I kept doing it at night when I had time, so the plug was off and the power readings had no values to compare.
So for example in the above video at time 7:17, if you have something running when you do the get device details, it will have the amps/watts etc listed.
So the step at 9:07 when you select the values (I read this elsewhere) will only list new values when first added, so to match up the power usage codes try and do these 2 parts as close together as possible. (may have to remove the device and re-add to get it with values)
Hi, I can’t make these working in HA. I tried many different configurations, but while I can see the values from my Tuya plug, I can’t see them in the Energy dashboard. My configuration looks like this
localtuya:
- host: xx
device_id: xx
local_key: xx
friendly_name: my-plug
protocol_version: "3.3"
entities:
- platform: switch
friendly_name: Plug
id: 1
- platform: sensor
friendly_name: Plug-current
device_class: current
id: 18
- platform: sensor
friendly_name: Plug-current-consumption
device_class: energy
id: 19
- platform: sensor
friendly_name: Plug-voltage
device_class: voltage
id: 20
sensor:
- platform: template
sensors:
my-plug-consumption:
friendly_name: "Plug consumption"
unit_of_measurement: 'kWh'
value_template: "{{ states(my-plug.sensor.Plug-current-consumption) }}"
I see the three sensors, but the template reports unavailable. I tried also many other value_templates but none seem to work.
I think in the sensor all needs to be lower case?
there is a capital P in:
my-plug.sensor.Plug-current-consumption
you also have dashes instead of underlines.
also, the current consumption value is simply W, not kWh
my sensor is
kitchen_current_consumption:
value_template: "{{ states.switch.kitchen.attributes.current_consumption }}"
device_class: power
unit_of_measurement: 'W'
I don’t use the Energy dash, so can’t help you there.
I managed to make it work with this file:
localtuya:
- host: xx
device_id: xx
local_key: xx
friendly_name: bibe
protocol_version: "3.3"
entities:
- platform: switch
friendly_name: bibe_switch
id: 1
- platform: sensor
friendly_name: bibe_current
device_class: current
id: 18
- platform: sensor
friendly_name: bibe_consumption
device_class: energy
id: 19
- platform: sensor
friendly_name: bibe_voltage
device_class: voltage
id: 20
sensor:
- platform: template
sensors:
bibe_current_template:
friendly_name: "Current"
unit_of_measurement: 'A'
value_template: '{{ states("sensor.plug_current") | float / 10 }}'
device_class: current
bibe_consumption_template:
friendly_name: "Consumption"
unit_of_measurement: 'kWh'
value_template: '{{ states("sensor.plug_consumption") | float / 10 }}'
device_class: energy
bibe_voltage_template:
friendly_name: "Voltage"
unit_of_measurement: 'V'
value_template: '{{ states("sensor.plug_voltage") | float / 10 }}'
device_class: voltage
however, although I can now see the correct values, I can’t add this device in the Energy tab. Any idea on this?
Moreover, I don’t know if I add another localtuya device how can I reference it, since in the templates I have no bibe reference whatsover, which is my identifier.
I had to add this in my sensor.yaml file for it to appear in the energy tab -
- platform: integration
source: sensor.gosund2_lt_current_consumption
name: Pi4_Power_Usage_Gosund
unit_prefix: k
unit: kWh
round: 2
Guys, how to add a device that has 2 sockets with yaml? i tried adding an entity? but i only see one?
thnx
- host: !secret tuya_switch_1_ip
device_id: !secret tuya_switch_1_id
local_key: !secret tuya_switch_1_key
friendly_name: Tuya Switch1
protocol_version: "3.3"
entities:
- platform: switch
friendly_name: Tuya Switch1_1
id: 1
current: 18
current_consumption: 19
voltage: 20
- platform: switch
friendly_name: Tuya Switch1_2
id: 1
current: 18
current_consumption: 19
voltage: 20
You probably mean a 2-Gang switch.
I would do the configuration directly through config flow (Settings → Integrations → Add Integration → LocalTuya Integration) rather than fiddling around with configuration.yaml for LocalTuya.
Remember to delete the entries for LocalTuya inside configuration.yaml and restart HA before you go the config flow-way!
i figured it out, just need to change the id for the second one to : 2
still prefer yaml

Been a while since I played with these, but I just realised that my local tuya setup only works if I have internet, which obviously is not really a local setup.
I set up the plugs using the config flow method, then have a consumption template sensor.
Switching on/off works fine, just can’t get the power data when local.
OFFTOPIC just to let you know the easiest way I’ve seen to get local key is using https://pypi.org/project/tinytuya/
Anyone also get this to work with your Tuya plug? I can’t get them in the drop down list to add, even with this in the sensors
