Need help tracking down "untracked consumption" source in dashboard | Home Assistant | Page 1

I have a single phase power house. I have 6 RCDs for consumption + 1 RCD for solar inverter (no battery). Each RCD has a clamp on it (vi an IOTAWATT), so I can see all the power everywhere in my entire house.

Somehow, every day I see these huge spikes in untracked consumption. I don't know where it comes from or how. It's impossible for anything in my house to consume power untracked as all RCDs are clamped and added to HA.

What is the best way to track down where this is coming from?

#

#

#

Each RCD is listed under individual devices and the import/export/solar is also listed as sources. I don't know how it's possible to have "untracked consumption" under these circumstances.

Maybe I configured something wrong

#

Seems even stranger yesterday

From it starting to go up when solar starts and being negative when sun is down would make me believe that it relates to your battery

I don't have a battery, nor an EV.

#

Solar only

Then your sensors aren't set up properly

#

Check that neither of your source sensors is creating neative deltas. Energy cannot be unproduced nor unconsumed

That's direct from the sensor source. No negative values

#

But that's watts, not watt hours.
