Utility_meter offset not working

Configuration
1

I have utility_meter defined in my config as follows

utility_meter:
  gr_power_monthly:
    source: sensor.gr_power_kwh
    cycle: monthly
    offset:
     days: 15

However, the meter did not reset on the15th of the month. What am I doing wrong?

Not sure if it will make a difference but days is only indented one space instead of two in your config.

    offset:
     days: 15

Thanks for pointing that out. Adjusted the indentation now I only need to wait for another month to see that works :smiley:

If it didn’t reset properly last time it has the wrong value so you could set it to tomorrow to test. Then if it works set it back to 15 for next month.

I set the offset to today plus 15 minutes from current time. Will see.

Unfortunately, it didn’t work.

Will probably do. Thanks.

Just an update on this in case somebody else faces the same problem.

I just discovered that the cycle resets at the end of day of the specified offset (not at the start 00:00 as I expected).

So, if for example you wish to reset a monthly cycle on the 15th, set your offset to days: 14.
