v1.1.0 — Customizable Sensor Selection
What's New
Customizable Sensor Selection (#219)
You can now choose which cost sensors to create during setup and reconfiguration. Previously, all 7–8 sensors were always created automatically. Now a second step lets you pick only the ones you need.
How it works
Setup (Config Flow):
- Configure your source sensors (power or energy + price) as before
- A new second step appears with a checklist of interval sensors:
- 15-Minute Cost, Hourly Cost, Daily Cost, Weekly Cost, Monthly Cost, Yearly Cost, Manual Cost
- All sensors are selected by default — uncheck any you don't need
- For power sensors, Real Time Cost (current cost per hour) is always created automatically
Reconfiguration (Options Flow):
- Go to Settings → Devices & Services → Dynamic Energy Cost → Configure
- Same two-step flow — change your source sensors and/or sensor selection
- Deselected sensors are removed from the entity registry on save
Key details
- Backward compatible: existing installations keep all sensors (no action needed)
- Real Time Cost is always included for power sensor configurations and cannot be deselected
- Empty selection is not allowed — at least one sensor must be selected
