Hi, I have a weird problem with my | Home Assistant | Page 1

I checked, using MQTTX, the MQTT output and the messages arrive in the mqtt server for HA (though I can't seem to listen to the topics using the HA web interface)

#

I can still show the current energy usage and delivery, but the totals for tariff1/2, both in and out don't have values any more in HA

#

have you checked the HA entity to see if it has data?

#

the energy dashboard doesnt process data, it just displays it

#

Currently the entities have the value "unknown", but it has worked for years until last week.

#

The only thing I did was update HA

#

The entity looks like this in the source:

- name: energy_consumption_tariff_1
  state_topic: "energy/dsmr/electricity/used-tariff-1"
  force_update: true
  unit_of_measurement: "kWh"
  device_class: energy
  state_class: total_increasing
  last_reset_value_template: "{{ '1970-01-01T00:00:00+00:00' }}" 
#  state_class: measurement
  value_template: "{{ value | float }}"

And the others similar

#

This is what the mqtt message looks like in MQTTX

Yes, so there is some issue with your mqtt sensor

#

You don't need the last reset value template btw

Interestingly, when I comment out the last reset value template, I got it working again. So I guess it isn't a question of not needing, but apparently it got to be wrong?

not really sure

#

The only change I made was comment out the lines with last_reset_value_template, after reloading I got values again in HA and my energy dashboard worked the same as before the 2024.2.x upgrade. So it seems there is a change in the latest release that breaks when last_reset_value_template is set. Would this be a bug in core? I think it's not the dashboards, because as you said, they only display the values, but the values were not even there.

I dont think this is a bug

#

if you want help with templates #templates-archived is the place, I have no idea what last_reset_value_template does

pallid slate Feb 16, 2024, 11:31 AM

#

I imagine the value could be used to have an always increasing value even though the meter is reset at some point, starting again at 0. I'm not sure it's a bug either, but something changed with the upgrade that barfed over my configuration it seems. Maybe the last_reset_value_template now requires a last pre-reset value to be a valid configuration?
