Utility meter - start value

[kayser21]

Is it possible to set start value of utility meter? I want to have some value at the beginning instead of “0”.

You would have to create a template sensor to add a constant or variable to your utility meter sensor.

This is how I have done it:

I use the utility_meter integration for my water meter. The first value in the template is the start value. Then I add the yearly total to that and then convert it from liters to m3.
