I have setup my utility_meter based on rest and template sensor (pixometer). My utilties sensors have the expected values in kWh, but still I don’t get my utilities sensors as an option for energy consumption within the energy dashboard. How could this be forced?
I’ve tried to overrule the device_class and state_class on sensor.energy, but still no luck.
utility_meter:
energy:
source: sensor.electricity_pixometer
cycle: daily
net_consumption: true
my sensor has a device_class
