i have a car charger that tracks energy sessions. during solar charging, it can stop charging and start charging a lot during the day.
i want to have a numeric value entity to keep track of the total amouns created by this charger session entity, until i reset the value with a other automation. how do i get this done?
#how to track value over time, even if reset?

Seems like a perfect fit for the utility meter. You can reset it wit utility_meter.reset

What options did you choose when setting up the utility meter?
What dies the data from your car charger entity look like? When does it reset to zero?
I agree that a utility meter seems to be the right solution based on the limited information you provided. If it is not working and you want help fixing it, we’ll need more info
