[ASK][REQ] Energy Meter Page

[muktheo]

Hi Anas, I'm Muktheo who has already commented in your youtube video regarding the plug and energy pages :)

Maybe if you already have some spare time, you can help me with writing the the steps and all dependencies on that section.

thank you so much.
Regards

[Anashost]

Sure i will try to do that by tomorrow.

Edit:
Note that the price of kw in my case is just fixed one, as in my energy contract i get a fixed price each year. So not sure if my custom sensors will work dynamically with a dynamic kw price sensor (probably not).

But kw usage should work as long as your plugs provides current_consumption attribute.

So confirm if you still want me to write the steps and yaml.

Hi, sorry for late reply,
Coincidentally my kWh meter price is also fixed. I didnt have peak tariff/low tariff something like that. 😄

So you can still help me with your steps, cusom sensors, and codes, please..

Thanks

[Anashost]

No worries,

So my plugs entity names are switch.plug_1_local and so on, better rename yours the same so could copy paste and all will just work, or you can just adapt and make changes.

You need the following for every Plug:

• toggles (create them from Helpers tap) input_boolean.p1_drop_down_toggle

• utility meter sensor from file editor: create this file utility_meter.yaml and include it in your config:

  p1_day_usage:
    source: sensor.p1_consumption_in_kwh
    cycle: daily

  p1_month_usage:
    source: sensor.p1_consumption_in_kwh
    cycle: monthly

  p1_year_usage:
    source: sensor.p1_consumption_in_kwh
    cycle: yearly

• custom sensor to convert kw to watt:

  - platform: template
    sensors:
      plug_1_local_power:
        friendly_name: "p1 consumption in Watt"
        unit_of_measurement: 'W'
        device_class: power
        value_template: "{{ states.switch.plug_1_local.attributes.current_consumption }}"
  - platform: integration
    source: sensor.plug_1_local_power
    name: p1_consumption_in_kwh
    method: left
    round: 2
    unit_prefix: k

• custom sensors to calc costs

  - platform: template
    sensors:
      p1_day_usage_cost:
        friendly_name: 'p1 day usage cost'
        value_template: >
         {% if states('sensor.p1_day_usage') | float(default=0) > 0 and states('sensor.manual_energy_price') | float(default=0) > 0 %}
           {{ (states('sensor.p1_day_usage') | float * states('sensor.manual_energy_price') | float ) | round(2) }}€
         {% else %}
           0.0€
         {% endif %}

  - platform: template
    sensors:
      p1_month_usage_cost:
        friendly_name: 'p1 month usage cost'
        value_template: >
         {% if states('sensor.p1_month_usage') | float(default=0) > 0 and states('sensor.manual_energy_price') | float(default=0) > 0 %}
           {{ (states('sensor.p1_month_usage') | float * states('sensor.manual_energy_price') | float ) | round(2) }}€
         {% else %}
           0.0€
         {% endif %}
         
  - platform: template
    sensors:
      p1_year_usage_cost:
        friendly_name: 'p1 year usage cost'
        value_template: >
         {% if states('sensor.p1_year_usage') | float(default=0) > 0 and states('sensor.manual_energy_price') | float(default=0) > 0 %}
           {{ (states('sensor.p1_year_usage') | float * states('sensor.manual_energy_price') | float ) | round(2) }}€
         {% else %}
           0.0€
         {% endif %}

Also create this sensor for the energy price. In my case its just a fixed one with price: 0.4€

  - platform: template
    sensors:
      manual_energy_price:
        friendly_name: 'manual energy price'
        value_template: >
          {{ 0.4 }}

Tell me if everything above works ok, to send you the cards configurations and automations.

[muktheo]

hi bro,

I've created all custom sensors and I saw the entity value already running, so..lets continue

[Anashost]

Nice, i will write the steps and yaml today 👍🏻

Requirements:

• mini-graph-card

• Conditional card to switch between cards

• navigation buttons (add more and adapt if you got more plugs)

[muktheo]

thank you!

it works flawesly. perhaps you forgot about the automation steps from the toogles, but dont worry, I've already find it from another issue thread in this section 😄

[Anashost]

Glad it works,
Here's the automations to double check.
