1 year ago The group energy sensor is a sensor which needs to be always increasing in value. So the individual entities must also be total sensors, not daily total.
I think the issue might be that when you use power_sensor_id option powercalc tries to find a matching kWh sensor on the same device. So for sensor.shelly_1pm_buero_tuer_power it probably found the daily energy sensor provided by the ESPHome device.
There is no option yet to force powercalc to create an energy sensor.
To fix the issue I suggest to also use the energy_sensor_id option to select the correct energy sensor. When there is no totaling sensor yet, you can create one using the riemann integral helper and than select that one using the energy_sensor_id option. Hope this helps.

Describe the issue
I have a very strange problem where the Home Assistant Energy Dashboard shows negative values for a group created by Powercalc that includes existing energy sensors.
This is what my energy dashboard looks like:
This is what the part of the config for the energy group looks like:
The two existing energy sensors contained in it are the enitiy_ids
switch.shelly_1pm_buero_eckeandsensor.shelly_1pm_buero_tuer_power.These are ESP Home devices that also provide an daily energy meter for via the
total_daily_energyplatform. When I look at them, it seems that the negative values are generated at the same time when the energy meter for the daily values resets (00:00 UTC, 01:00 CET):However, when I look at the energy meters generated by powercal for the yearly values, there are no anomalies to be seen either for the indivual lamps or for the two ESP energy meters in the group.
