💡 Having a little hiccup with the Sunsynk Home Assistant dashboard since we added the Octopus EV charger! The house load breakdown isn't quite right. I've written up what happened and what I tried to fix it. Take a look here!

I would LOVE to have something like this. The individual plug reports showing usage and cost per day and per month along with the current-moment power consumption (allowing for realtime tweaking) is amazing and very eye opening. A consolidated view would be perfect. I have four plugs still to deploy around the house.

Level up : #esphome + #lvgl

Je commence un peu à faire ce que je veux, à adapter pas trop difficilement les exemples à mon cas de figure.

Prochaine étape : rendre ça un peu plus stylé et passer en mode sombre...

I've slowly been adding energy consumption monitoring to my Home Assistant setup and while I have a couple of things to go (kitchen fridge, dryer with very inaccessible power point, dishwasher) I think I’m getting a handle on where most of our energy is consumed.

Home networking infrastructure - Starlink power brick, router, DNS server, Fingbox, HA Green, Tapo hub - and my personal computing - MacBook Pro, Thunderbolt Display (still going 13+ years later), and printer - are the biggest grouped consumers. Everything else uses small amounts across each day. When heating and cooling are on, they make a clear difference.

I'm mostly using Tapo P110M plugs as monitors as I don't have the time or space in the wall to put something like Shelly kit - the wiring in this place is best described as “interesting”. Where things like the AC units have their own measurements, I'm using those.

The untracked consumption is interesting. I *think* it's mostly our heat pump hot water kicking off in the morning each day. I'm going to have to dig out the manual and see if I can understand what it’s doing.
