I have a measurement of the power in W being generated by my Solar PV which I want to use in my Energy Dashboard. I have created a Utility Meter using the helper called Solar_PV_Energy_today. This doesn’t show in the “add Solar Production” dropdown box. It has attributes:
Thanks @tom_l .
I’m not trying to use the power sensor. I am trying to use the Utility Meter that I created from it.
But your right that the auto generated Utility Meter has unit_of_measurement: W
which is probably another reason I can’t use it as well as the other wrong attributes.
I don’t seem to be able to create working Utility meters in YAML, so it looks like it’s “hello Herr Riemann”.
@tom_l . Good question!
Sensor.ct_30a attributes are:
unit_of_measurement: W
icon: mdi:sine-wave
friendly_name: CT 30A
However as this comes to HA by MQTT from an Arduino Nano33 which I wrote the code for, I could change the autodiscovery. What should the attributes be?
