Add heat pump energy consumption to HA Energy #40

Open alankfreeman opened 2 weeks ago

alankfreeman commented 2 weeks ago

My goal is to be able to track and graph total energy used by the furnace and heat pump, ideally in the HA Energy section. I have two HVAC systems, so I’d like to track the power usage of each heat pump and furnace separately. Perhaps this info is already available, but I just don’t know how to access it. I can view power usage in W for both the heat pump and furnace, but can’t seem to add it to the “Energy“ section of HA, because the data is in W (Watts), vs kWh (Watt Hours). If there’s a way to make this work, please let me know. If it doesn’t already exist, is there a way to get a power consumption field added that is measured in kWh or Wh? Thank you

You need to create an integral sensor in HA to sum up the energy usage over each day. Then you can add the integral sensor to end Energy dashboard. There are lots of existing threads on this type of topic in the HA forum.
