Possibility to use a sensor as forecasted load

Use Case Not every 'Tuesday' has the same home load profile (shift work), depending on presence. But we have some continuity in the load. Proposal: make a home assistant sensor which defines the predicted load of the day.

Improvement

• Expert feature: Use a Home Assistant template sensor as a forecast load of the home. The user can make an automation depending on calendar, presence or else to define the template. For Example:

sensor has template: [350, 350, 350, 350, 350, 450, 450, 700, 700, 350, 350, 350, 350, 350, 350, 350, 350, 500, 1200, 1200, 1200, 550, 450, 350]

Each value is the projected power consumption for that hour of the day.

But can also be the remaining power consumption for that day

- name: "Load average" unique_id: load_average state: >- {% set current_hour = now().strftime('%H') | int %} {% set data = states('sensor.load_average_raw', 'data') | from_json %} {% set values = data.data %} {% set values_to_remove = current_hour - 1 %} {% if values_to_remove > 0 %} {% set values = values[values_to_remove:] %} {% endif %} {{ values }}

Interesting idea, but the load isn't just one figure, would scaling the entire day really represent the profile?
