## Energy management
|
||||
|
||||
IoTaWatt does not provide the exact data that is needed for energy management. We're working with the IotaWatt team on resolving this.
|
||||
|
||||
Until then, you can use these instructions to create the correct entities that work with energy management:
|
||||
|
||||
### Configure IoTaWatt
|
||||
|
||||
You will need to configure two new IoTaWatt output sensors:
|
||||
|
||||
| Name | Unit | Formula
|
||||
| - | - | -
|
||||
| MainsConsumption|Watts|`(Main_In_Red + Main_In_White + Main_In_Blue) max 0`
|
||||
| MainsExport|Watts|`((Main_In_Red + Main_In_White + Main_In_Blue) min 0) abs`
|
||||
|
||||
Replace `(Main_In_Red + Main_In_White + Main_In_Blue)` with the correct formula for your main feed.
|
||||
|
||||
### Configure Home Assistant
|
||||
|
||||
Add the following to your configuration.yaml file to convert the Watt measurements into kWh:
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
sensor iotawatt:
|
||||
- platform: integration
|
||||
source: sensor.mainsexport
|
||||
name: Total Grid Export
|
||||
unit_prefix: k
|
||||
- platform: integration
|
||||
source: sensor.mainsconsumption
|
||||
name: Total Grid Consumption
|
||||
unit_prefix: k
|
||||
```
