I like the idea of including heating usage in the dashboard as the current implementation is hidden in the graphs/attributes in the climate platform.
Not sure how water usage is measured, but turning energy into utilities makes sense to me

I love the idea to add multiple sources like water, gas etc. But I would like to be able to track and see individual devices cost as well. In my case I use the P1/HAN port to get import/export energy in total but I have induvial devices like my electric car, house energy and heat pump and I could add more as I have energy measures on some devices. Today I have created a separate dashboard for water consumption/ cost and induvial devices, but would be nice to have in one location.
I’m not a programmer but if someone wants testing done or I can help in any other way please let me know

I have seen this topic pop up so many times… my view in the past was energy is energy being Gas or electricity… but WTH if everyone would like water it cant hurt… rename it utility and add water… done.
In terms of energy, I would like to mention oil, gas canisters and wood-chip-burners. Also, these forms of energy don’t flow into the home, but are instead delivered in bulk, stored on-site and then used locally. The basic principle is still the same for tracking use and cost, but they do add the idea of ‘a remaining amount before a new order needs to be placed to replenish stock’.
I would expand one level higher though and just monitor “Resources”. The general idea that covers most people’s requirements is to track what comes into the home and how it’s being used (and usually therefore how much it costs).
Resources are hierarchical too. So the root level would be the Home and then sub-levels could be created for say Heating => Kitchen Heating => Room Heating | Cooking.
The levels should be considered views rather than fixed containers e.g. a level called Heating could sit with another called Electricity, but each could share sensor data as required.
Resource monitoring can also be used for checking things e.g. comparing electricity-in at the main meter with the total of energy meters on sockets. In other words, the model should be aware that sometimes there is more than one sensor for measuring the same resource from a different angle - a green light means they all correlate and a red one means something is off an needs investigation.
Finally, a resource monitor goes way beyond monitoring energy - it obviously covers water, but also things like petrol for a car or mower, pet food, total cost of running a hot tub (e.g. heating the water and the cost of a sterilising agent), etc.
I literally just requested this. Please add this so we can show our home’s total consumption of resources.
Would be cool to be able to see the price for different things in the tab as well. I use Nordpool to get the electric price for next coming 24h and it’s released at 13:00(1pm) every day so the graph showing the price needs to be at least 48h. Could also be cool if one could get the X lowest price/highest price displayed in a nice maner

@wenestvedt Even though it says Gas Consumption you can still add you water meter data to this dashboard. As long as you water data is in m3
Shhh, don’t let the secret out that liquids, gases, and solids all use the same unit of measurement for volume.

and then your water is showing in the Gas graph, that mixture could be called ‘emulsion’, but would not be

hear hear! finally, this is great news! thanks a lot Erik (and team ofc)
Part x (not sure which part number this is, multiple PRs have been made at this point), the frontend:

Wow thats nice, really needed after i had an leak last year caused to pay 450 euro extra 
!
Now i need to see where i can buy a watermeter in the Netherlands to use it with home assistant.
anyone a link where to buy one ?
regards
cool to hear, that (at least) water meter will be implemented now
Still would love to see others - but I have time to wait for this
So… just used my old, replaced HA installation and joined the beta-channel with it…
Home Assistant 2022.11.0b0
in which beta might this be implemented 
Nice!! and finaly
maybe a suggestion to show the daily consumption in liter? after a shower today, i can see the stats but the energy dashboard only shows 0m³ (as it is 0.022m³)
As I wrote in the discord… would be great additions :
i)
- to add the energy spent (kWh) into the hot water tank or any similar system
- to add the energy spent (kWh) into EV
in general to integrate into the genetal animation all the individual loads defined actually into a bar graph in the energy dashboard bottom section
ii) To display in the daily solar production and prediction (in a legend style)
a) the total expected produced today
b) the current production until now
c) the expected production until now
