Cumulative Gas Use is too high

[gardiner4]

My NaviLink shows Total Gas Usage as 230 therms, but Cumulative Gas Use in this integration reports 22,407.2 ft³. Yesterday the app says I used .3 therms, but the Cumulative Gas Use increased 183.6 ft³. I think a unit conversion is off. This is a NPE-240 in the US.

I have been using the old conversion factor from the prior version, assuming that it wouldn't change. I'll take a closer look at it this weekend and update. Thanks

FYI this appears to be broken. Can you share your conversion so we can at least adjust the sensor?

Here is the conversion from /navien_water_heater/sensor.py. My unit is offline right now, but if the unit is reporting cubic feet you might just have to divide by 35.3147.

"accumulatedGasUsage": GenericSensorDescription( state_class = SensorStateClass.TOTAL_INCREASING, native_unit_of_measurement=VOLUME_CUBIC_METERS if hass_units == "metric" else VOLUME_CUBIC_FEET, name="Cumulative Gas Use", conversion_factor = 1 if hass_units == navien_units else 35.3147 if hass_units == "us_customary" else 0.0283168732, device_class=SensorDeviceClass.GAS

So the Navien App has a lifetime count of therms. This integration reports in cubic feet. My natural gas provider National Grid calculates the bill using ccf which is a hundred cubic feet. I am now using a template to do the approximate conversion to ccf.

sensor:

• platform: template sensors: gas_usage_ccf: friendly_name: "Gas Usage in CCF" unit_of_measurement: 'CCF' device_class: 'gas' value_template: "{{ (states('sensor.ch1_unit1_cumulative_gas_use') | float) / 100 }}" attribute_templates: state_class: "total"
