Group identically named individual devices together?

[pure cradle]

I'd like to be able to see the per-phase data in the Sankey chart, but see them combined when the hierarchy is not required to be shown

Create a helper entity that sums the two values together

I have a Ubiquiti Network switch with 16 PoE Ports and 16 individual power sensors so I created a helper entity to sum all 16 together to get the total power from all PoE ports

[pure cradle]

The helper can't exist under one phase though

then it'll look really weird in the sankey chart where a child value has a greater measurement than the whole phase

[deep coral]

you make the two phases children of the summed helper

[pure cradle]

but they're not children of the summed helper, the dryer isn't the only thing in the house so dryer phase A + dryer phase B is always going to be a lower value than total phase A plus total phase B

[deep coral]

ok, the fact you wanted that specific grouping rather than just A+B was not in any way clear from your post

mb

yes i'd like to still be able to see the per-phase breakdown in a way that makes sense, but when only the leafs of each hierarchy tree are shown i was just wondering if there's any way to group them together even if they have different branches

if that's not a feature nbd, i can deal with two dryers in the donut chart lol

i'm with you now

i think what i'd do is make, phase A, phase b, and phase a+b as your top level in the sankey. A is everything except the dryer, B is everything except the dryer, and A+B is the two dryer values summed together (and then don't include the individual phase data for the dryers)
