UPS Power Consumption in the Energy Dashboard

Configuration
2

  1. If that is the load power you need to divide it by the UPS efficiency to get the power drawn from the house (use 0.75 if you don’t know).

  2. That is a power sensor not an energy sensor, so you cant add it to the energy dashboard. Use a Riemann sum helper to convert power to energy. Be sure to use method: left.

  3. You don’t need a unique id unless you want to edit some of the sensor properties from the frontend UI. It is as simple as adding unique_id: something_unique_here to your sensor config.

  4. In future Please format your pasted config correctly. See https://community.home-assistant.io/t/how-to-help-us-help-you-or-how-to-ask-a-good-question/114371#oneone-format-it-properly-16
