added charge to be showed in the HA Energy tab

Open dum-skywalker opened this issue 3 years ago • 3 comments

In the Energy tab I don't find the wallbox charge as a data source. I'd like to add my: sensor.wallbox_portal_added_energy And it states the following. Is there something I'm doing wrong? Thanks image

Hi, the answer to this question differs whether you are using the custom component (for which this is the github repo) or the out-of-the-box one. Basically, I included it in the ootb version (since the end of last year somewhere) but it doesn't work for the custom version.

what do you mean with "out-of-the-box"? the official integration? I have both installed, the wallbox integration and the custom component, as long as I wanted to be able to lock and unlock with home assistant. I built an automatization to start pumping energy as soon as connect to the car. Does it make sense?

You can use only one of them. If you install the HACS version, you render the official built in integration defunct and then the statistics wont work.

What you can do is to customize the Wallbox entities (add device_class: energy and state_class: total_increasing).
