Feature request: Long Term Statistics on Energy

[flybrys]

Would like to add my units as individual devices in HA. The help article refers:

https://developers.home-assistant.io/docs/core/entity/sensor/#long-term-statistics

Can this change be made to the energy measuring sensor?

ESPHome already supports state_class and device_class, you can just add them to any sensor in your config.

current_power_consumption:
  name: Panasonic AC Power Consumption
  unit_of_measurement: W
  accuracy_decimals: 0
  device_class: "power"
  state_class: "measurement"

However, there is no total power consumption sensor so I think you can't add them to the energy statistics in Home Assistant.

According to the docs it should work without the power consumption sensor but I couldn't get it to. Instead I created a total daily one with esphome which works great. here's my config which adds this sensor to HA which can be added to the energy ecosystem for those who might want to use it

esphome:
  name: bedroom_ac
  platform: ESP32
  board: esp32thing

wifi:
  networks:
    - ssid: "xxxx"
      password: "xxxx"
  use_address: bedroom_ac.iot
  power_save_mode: none

logger:
  level: DEBUG

api:
  password: "xxxx"

ota:
  password: "xxxx"

uart:
  tx_pin: GPIO17
  rx_pin: GPIO16
  baud_rate: 9600
  parity: EVEN

This can also be done using the integration sensor for no daily reset

• platform: integration name: "Total Power Consumption" min_save_interval: 5min sensor: instantPower time_unit: h state_class: total_increasing device_class: energy accuracy_decimals: 3 unit_of_measurement: 'kWh' filters:
  • multiply: 0.001

An update, there was some changes that change the config above

First give the current_power_consumption block a new field id call it whatever you want

climate:
    current_power_consumption:
      name: Panasonic AC Power Consumption
      id: panasonic_ac_4th_panasonic_ac_power_consumption

sensor:
  - platform: integration
    name: "Total Daily Energy"
    sensor: panasonic_ac_4th_panasonic_ac_power_consumption
    time_unit: h
    state_class: total_increasing
    device_class: energy
    accuracy_decimals: 3
    unit_of_measurement: kWh
    filters:
      - multiply: 0.001
preferences:
  flash_write_interval: 180s
