Sensor does not appear in new (2021.8) Energy dashboard?

[fredrikbaberg]

I'm unable to find the sensor in the Energy tab.

I'm referred to: https://www.home-assistant.io/more-info/statistics/.

Another implementation is referenced in the release notes, https://github.com/zuidwijk/dsmr, but I have not tried that as I haven't verified if the pin mapping is the same.

I've done some experimentation based on ESPHome documentation and the dsmr repository. I'm still waiting for data to be visible in the Energy panel (can take up to 2 hours), but adding the following to Cumulative Active Import at least allows it to be added:

state_class: "measurement"
device_class: "energy"
last_reset_type: "never"

I have the same issue. Was told to add, in addition to device class and state, this : last_reset; "1970-01-01T00:00:00+00:00"

Same state, can add the cumulative active import but no data is showing.

I read that last_reset_type: "never" should set last_reset to epoch, so it should lead to the same result. There is now a pull request that allows the sensor to be added.

I must be doing something wrong. Keep getting this error regardless of how I format the yaml

  [state_class] is an invalid option for [0]. Did you mean [state_topic], [device_class]?
  state_class: measurement [source p1reader.yaml:74]
  device_class: energy

  [last_reset_type] is an invalid option for [0]. Please check the indentation.
  last_reset_type: never [source p1reader.yaml:76]

[fredrikbaberg]

@grobius have you formatted the lines in the same way as the pull request I've linked to this issue? It seems to complain about indentation.

[grobius]

Yes, I did copy it from the pullrequest. I can't see that there is something wrong with it (but it's probably me):

  sensors:
  - name: "Cumulative Active Import"
    unit_of_measurement: kWh
    accuracy_decimals: 3
    state_class: "measurement"
    device_class: "energy"
    last_reset_type: "never"

Solved it. Update of esphome was required (I was running v1.18, upgrade to v1.20.4 solved it)

Same error message here when pasting in ESPhome.

Dooh, same issue here ;)

Thanks mates!
