When trying to add sensor.heat_pump_water_heater_power_usage_today
to the Energy Dashboard I’m unable to do so because it doesn’t contain long term statistics.
@w1ll1am23 I believe you wrote the EcoNet integration, if you’re able to fine tune this sensor.
From my understanding the integration will report the hourly usage of a device. This case the water heater. Would it be possible to calculate it that way? I’m not too familiar with sensor customization in Home Assistant.
However I do think it’s a limitation of the data that Rheem makes available not an integration issue.
I managed to get this working today. Added the below to my customize.yaml
sensor.heat_pump_water_heater_gen_4_power_usage_today:
device_class: energy
state_class: total_increasing
It did take awhile for everything to show up in the graphs but I think that’s normal
What units_of_measure
does the Rheem report? Wh
or kWh
?
I added the information above to my customize.yaml a few days ago, but I’m not seeing cumulative kwh. Any suggestions on how else to get this to work?
