#Trying to make a simple energy graph

Hello everyone! So basically to make it sweet and short for you. I have a smart breaker that's connected to two of my AC units upstairs. I'm trying to make a graph on my home assistant dashboard which will show me the monthly power use over a year. I've been having trouble with figuring it out over the past two weeks and honestly as much as I hate asking for help this is last resort 😅 If anyone could guide me I would be eternally grateful.

Also to add, the breaker collects information on how much power is being used real time and doesn't have any date functionality. I was hoping that home assistant could handle that part with the raw data.

So your breaker has a power sensor, and it does not have an energy sensor?

If you need to create an energy sensor from the power sensor, use the Riemann sum integral integration.

Then you can add this to your energy dashboard.

That's perfect for the energy panel.

Do you want to use the built-in energy graph of home assistant, or are you trying to do something else? Not clear where you're stuck.

im trying to make something like this but in home assistant 🙂 Hope that clears it up

#

The part im stuck on really is configuring the graph in the yaml file, I know how to set it all up in the dashboard but for some reason whenever I try to configure the graph the data seems off and I know that for a fact.

It sounds like you're trying to recreate exactly what the energy panel provides. I don't know if you've looked at the energy panel. Have you tried it?

No I haven't tinkered much with the energy panel yet I thought that was mainly for integrating solar and things like that 😅

#

but I'll have a look at it

#

you mean this right?

verbal matrix
#

Yep

#

If you don't have grid sensors you can skip that, and just add your AC device

#

I would just add your energy sensor as an individual device

#

I think that's the last step

the last step is water consumption

#

Ok maybe you add it afterwards, I forgot

#

There's a section called "Individual devices"

omg it works thank you

well
