Make the charged energy (`wh`) sensor energy dashboard compatible about homeassistant-goecharger-mqtt HOT 10 CLOSED

Home Assistant 2022.7.5
Frontend 20220707.1 - latest

Thank you very much for your efforts :)

Please take another look after a few hours at your energy dashboard. The propagation of the data just takes some time.

Awesome, it works! Thank you so much! :)

I just found that in the energy dashboard setting there is a warning/error hidden:

No idea if this has something to do with my issue mentioned above

Which Home Assistant version do you use? I will try to reproduce the issue with a fresh Home Assistant instance (2022.8.0) tomorrow.

Which version of this custom component do you use?

from homeassistant-goecharger-mqtt.

I made some progress: It looks like you are the first one using the key wh at the energy dashboard. More common is using eto (total energy). Could you do me a favor? Please check the history of your wh sensor. Does the value reset once a day or does it increase without resets? Could you try to explain the difference between eto (total energy) and wh (energy charged)?

Is this assumption correct: If you charge your car 3 times a day the wh sensor increases 3 times from 0 to charged energy?

I've pushed a fix which should fix the issue (hopefully): 9274c85

Home Assistant is able to convert between Wh and kWh. There is no need to help here / changed units. Changing units is a breaking change which I'm trying to avoid.

I've published some fake traffic using

I=0
while true;
do
  I=$(($I+1000))
  mosquitto_pub -r -t /go-eCharger/111111/wh -m $I
  sleep 60
  echo $I
done

and checked the energy dashboard 1-2 hours later:

On my side it looks fine now. I will prepare a release now. Please update your custom component to the new version and close the issue if it's solved.

Hi! Thank you for your incredible support! :) And sorry for my late response :(

I just updated the custom component to 1.12.1 and home assistant to 2022.8.1 (which was requested due to compatibility issues).

Unfortunately the energy dashboard still does not show the charged energy amount (it seems to still get it in wh instead of kwh), although the weird warning/error message I mentioned earlier did disappear now.

Regarding eto (total energy) vs. charged energy: I can not choose any sensor named eto in the energy dashboard configuration. I also cannot tell the difference beteeen eto and charged energy, but imo only charged energy makes sense in the case of the energy dashboard (since it is only necessary to include the actually consumed power).

Loading multiple times should work, but unfortunately it seems I have lost the old charging data when I readded the charged energy sensor to the energy board.
