I have created a simple utilty meter to measure daily energy consumption on one of my smart plugs:
utility_meter:
datakrok_smartplug_pc_daglig:
source: sensor.datakrok_smart_plug_pc_power
name: Datakrok - Smartplug - PC - Daglig
cycle: daily
But when going into Developer tools → States, the States Attributes says:
state_class: total_increasing
last_reset: '**2022-01-06T23:00:00**.008099+00:00'
source: sensor.datakrok_smart_plug_pc_power
status: collecting
last_period: '57491'
meter_period: daily
cron pattern: 0 0 * * *
unit_of_measurement: W
icon: mdi:counter
friendly_name: Datakrok - Smartplug - PC - Daglig
Does that mean it actually resets at 23:00 and not midnight, which is logical (at least to me)?
Can it be made to reset at 24:00?
Maybe this can explain why there is a difference between this utility_meter I have created myself and the one showing up in Individual devices on the Energy page?
The “builtin” one says Energy Usage: 2.55kwh
but the one I’ve made myself says 2.53kwh
Not much of a difference, but it’s there
Thanks
