Utility Meter doesnt measure behind 0,00?

Configuration
1

As the title refers. I’m trying to measure my daily gas usage by using the sensor.gas_consumption in a utility meter config.

Over the day the gas consumption can only be 0,50m3 of usage.
But that doesnt seems to be measured by the utility meter

The utility meter states that it is paused. Any one have a explanation for this?
Or am I doing something wrong?

utility_meter:
  daily_energy_offpeak:
    source: sensor.energy_consumption_tarif_1
    cycle: daily
  daily_energy_peak:
    source: sensor.energy_consumption_tarif_2
    cycle: daily
  daily_gas:
    source: sensor.gas_consumption
    cycle: daily
  monthly_energy_offpeak:
    source: sensor.energy_consumption_tarif_1
    cycle: monthly
  monthly_energy_peak:
    source: sensor.energy_consumption_tarif_2
    cycle: monthly
  monthly_gas:
    source: sensor.gas_consumption
    cycle: monthly

Your gas consumption sensor seems to have regular periods where it is unavailable. Perhaps this is messing with the utility meter. Fix that first and see what happens.

You referring to the points where its missing line in the graph part , right?

Not much I can do about I think. Getting the data from a P1 DSMR wifi gateway. Which apparently gives me a proper line of data of kWh. But sometime is a bit dodgy on the usage.

Although I doubt if it really is unavailable , looking those points up in graph still gives me values.

I mean the discontinuities in the gas consumption graph. You need to fix that. If you can’t fix the sensor the a workaround would be a template sensor that remembers the last value when the consumption sensor is unavailable. Then feed that to the utility meter.

Alright. Will give a thought about how to make that than :slight_smile:

But I think your right because of “gaps” in the graph the utility meter goes in the pause

The utility meter pauses whenever the value is not increasing. That would include when it is unavailable.
