Support weekly and monthly cost sensor breakdowns

[BottlecapDave]

Describe the feature

The cost sensor should be expanded to support weekly and monthly breakdowns in addition to the current daily breakdowns.

These weekly and monthly breakdowns should have peak/off peak variations

Expected behaviour

The following sensors should be available

• sensor.octopus_energy_cost_tracker_{{COST_TRACKER_NAME}}_week
• sensor.octopus_energy_cost_tracker_{{COST_TRACKER_NAME}}_week_peak
• sensor.octopus_energy_cost_tracker_{{COST_TRACKER_NAME}}_week_off_peak
• sensor.octopus_energy_cost_tracker_{{COST_TRACKER_NAME}}_month
• sensor.octopus_energy_cost_tracker_{{COST_TRACKER_NAME}}_month_peak
• sensor.octopus_energy_cost_tracker_{{COST_TRACKER_NAME}}_month_off_peak

The day that represents the start of the week should be configurable.

The start day for the month (1-28) should be configurable and effect the month based sensors.

Use Case

I want to be able to see what my sensors cost me on a daily or monthly basis.

Would/should this also include export meters?

[BottlecapDave]

Export meters should already be supported (if they're coming through your account), as these are sensors for tracking costs of other entities within HA (e.g. television if you have a sensor reporting it's kwh usage).

[RexNoctis]

Just a small suggestion/request, would it also be possible to also make the start date of the month configurable? It would be nice to see costs based on the billing period?

You can already do the same thing with Energy Meter (HACS integration) https://github.com/zeronounours/HA-custom-component-energy-meter

[BottlecapDave]

Thank you for raising this as a potential solution. The cost trackers were introduced as I wanted a solution that would adapt automatically when a persons tariff changed and would cope with tariffs with varying rates (like agile). My main issue with the integration you linked is that It's not configurable via the UI - More users who are using HA and this integration are more comfortable with a UI and don't want to be diving into yaml to configure entities. It's crazy a simple accumulation sensor that resets on a schedule isn't available natively in HA.

I just feed my cost tracker into utility meter helpers with a monthly schedule and that seems to do this unless I'm missing something.

This is now available as part of v10.2.0
