Feature: Usage with new Energy Dashboard

[henrikbjorn]

The new Energy Dashboard can't find the total value. I think this is because the sensor is missing a last_reset property.

Not sure how it works, but it seems that last_reset could just be the meeting date.

For now it is not a feature that I will add as only sensors with present data should support long statistics (see https://developers.home-assistant.io/docs/core/entity/sensor/#long-term-statistics). Eloverblik sensors will always be at least one or two days old. This is not something that can be changed as this is what eloverblik.dk delivers.

If you insist on using the data you can add a template sensor like below. Just note that data will be shown on the wrong date in statistics card etc.

template: 
  - sensor: 
    - name: "Eloverblik Long Term Statistics"
      unit_of_measurement: kWh
      state: "{{ states('sensor.eloverblik_energy_total') }}"
      attributes: 
        device_class: energy
        state_class: measurement
        last_reset: "{{ state_attr('sensor.eloverblik_energy_total', 'metering_date') }}"
