Hi, I have various Sonoff POW flashed with the below code


  - platform: hlw8012
    update_interval: 2s  
    sel_pin: 5
    cf_pin: 14
    cf1_pin: 13
    current:
      name: "Dining room AC Current"
    voltage:
      name: "Dining room AC Voltage"
    power:
      name: "Dining room AC Power"
      id: dining_room_ac_power_plug_power
      filters:
        # Multiplication factor from W to kW is 0.001
    #    - multiply: 0.001
      unit_of_measurement: W
      on_value_range:
        - above: 4.0
          then:
            - light.turn_on: led
        - below: 3.0
          then:
            - light.turn_off: led

  - platform: total_daily_energy
    name: "Dining room AC Total Daily Energy"
    power_id: dining_room_ac_power_plug_power
    accuracy_decimals: 3
    unit_of_measurement: kWh
    filters:
      - multiply: 0.001

Is the sensor
sensor.dining_room_ac_total_daily_energy

the correct sensor to put in Utility meter?


utility_meter:
  energy:
    source: sensor.dining_room_ac_total_daily_energy
    cycle: daily

I believe so.

My confusion comes from the term “total daily energy”, that would be an ENERGY value KWh, where h=24, so maybe not the correct value for entity_controller???
