Question: Sensor for Energy Dashboard

[NickyM]

Hi

I might just be blind or something, but which sensor should I use to add eforsyning to the Home Assistant energy dashboard?

I would probably use the "eforsyning.energy_total_used" sensor for this purpose. It contains the total consumption since the start of the payment year. The sensor "eforsyning.energy_used" coudl be another candidate as it contains the current day (well yesterday) consumption.
I am not using the energy dashboard myself because I put everything in InfluxDB and graph it with Grafana

Thanks for the answer.

My energy_total_used is always 0.

The energy_used which has a daily energy usage is missing a "last_reset" attribute to be usable for the energy dashboard.

Oh well... energy dashboard doesnt support historical values atm anyways.
