How do I add this to dashboard? about ontario_energy_board HOT 8 CLOSED

It's a 2-step install...

1. Install via HACS. Seems like you have done this already.
2. Go to Settings -> Device and Services -> Add Integration...you should now see this
3. Install

Yep, super noob couldn't find it.

Thanks very much for taking the time to answer. Working great!

What about mapping the attributes so I can have each of them on their own entity card? Is this possible?

For instance, I have "sensor.alectra_utilities_corporation_brampton_rate_zone_residential_rate" currently set as a gauge card showing off_peak as 'green' zone, mid_peak as 'yellow' zone, and on_peak as 'red' zone. Is there a way for me to show the attribute 'active_peak' as its own entity so I can have it on its own entity card?

Been trying something like this is configuration.yaml but I can't seem to get it to map:

sensor:

• platform: alectra_utilities

• platform: template1
  sensors:
  alectra_utilities_active_peak:
  value_template: "{{states.sensor.alectra_utilities_corporation_brampton_rate_zone_residential_rate.attributes.active_peak}}"

from ontario_energy_board.

for your example try this.... be careful around spacing / indentation

• platform: template
  sensors:
  alectra_utilities_active_peak:
  value_template: "{{ state_attr('sensor.alectra_utilities_corporation_brampton_rate_zone_residential_rate','active_peak') }}"
  friendly_name: "Brampton Hydro Rate"

1st line: start with dash platform: template (you had template1)
2nd line...align sensors under platform
3rd line...indent 2 spaces for sensor name
4th line...align value_template under alectra..... (double quotes with inner single quotes)
5th line...align friendly_name under alectra....

once your sensor is setup...you reference it as sensor.alectra_utilities_active peak in your Entities card.

drop the platform: alectra_utilities tag...

from ontario_energy_board.

should be like this...seems the editor in this tool drops the spaces...

I feel like I need a line above - platform: template

Does the first line need to be the hacs install name? I tried sensor below but I'm getting an error for duplicate key.

#OntarioPowerAttributes
sensor:

• platform: template
  sensors:
  alectra_utilities_active_peak:
  value_template: "{{ state_attr('sensor.alectra_utilities_corporation_brampton_rate_zone_residential_rate','active_peak') }}"
  friendly_name: "Brampton Hydro Rate"

from ontario_energy_board.

This should work:

sensor: 
  - platform: template
    sensors:
      alectra_utilities_active_peak:
        value_template: "{{ state_attr('sensor.alectra_utilities_corporation_brampton_rate_zone_residential_rate', 'active_peak') }}"
        friendly_name: Alectra Active Peak

Line 1 is if you're adding this to your configuration.yaml file directly, as opposed to using a separate YAML file for sensors. If that's the case, skip line 1.
Line 4 is the ID of your new sensor. Make sure it's unique.
Line 5 gets the active peak from the attribute of the OEB sensor. Make sure the sensor ID matches what you have.
Line 6 is just the friendly name for the sensor, it can be anything.
