Request
- Add an offset for the utility meter so it resets on a specific day of the month rather that the 1st of the month.
- Add and offset for the quartly reset so the 1st qtr does not start in jan 1
Reason
My power billing is done per quarter however the 1st quarter begins in Feb 20.
As the meter reset cycles cant do this I am forced to do this ouside of the utility met config.
I get around this by using a template to monitor the last reset and compare with the date/time. This allows me to trigger an automation to reset the meter/s.
Monthly meters are reset on the 20th of the month
Quartly meters are reset on Feb 20, May 20, Aug 20 and Nov 20
Its messy but it works
The reason I use a temple to trigger an automation is to make sure the reset is done even if HA was down when it shoull have occured.
