As an example, here's the actual path from the wall outlet to my Home Assistant Yellow:
Outlet -> UPS -> PDU -> UniFi Dream Machine -> Home Assistant Yellow
If I create integral sensors for the PDU port and the PoE switch port, is there any way that I can automatically factor in this kind of energy inheritance?
I guess the issue is that in the future I'd like to add whole home tracking as well as per circuit tracking in the breaker which would add another two layers to that path
since i can track the PoE port power and the PDU port power, if the circuit power and the whole home power was also being recorded that could potentially result in the same usage being counted 4 times over
or even 5 times if i decided to put my rack on a smart plug lol

i found this custom sankey chart component that kind of does what i was looking for, it's just called sankey chart on HACS:
i feel like custom hierarchies like this should be supported in home assistant though

What exactly should be supported in HA? If you're talking about the energy dashboard, Sankey chart does the job just fine it seems

i am talking about the energy dashboard. i don't think that because there is a custom component that works as a workaround it's not worth officially supporting

custom hierarchies and sankey charts are different things. Do you want a sankey chart in the energy dashboard, or do you want hierarchies as a datastructure to support more complicated energy relationships? I think the first one can be done, but would be a feature request for the frontend people (unless you want to do it yourself)
for the second one I say good luck, not gonna happen 🤣

well you can always make an FR

You can watch/wait for this to merge, should support what you're looking for:

definitely overestimated how hard that would be. Marking a parent is smart

Ah ty! That's exactly what I was wanting. Definitely a good thing for an official Sankey chart card in the future too
