Add to Energy Dashboard

To monitor your energy usage, you can add the Home Assistant Glow to the Energy Dashboard. This dashboard provides an overview of your energy consumption, costs, and trends over time.

Which entities to add?​

You can choose between the following entities to add to the Energy Dashboard:

  • sensor.home_assistant_glow_daily_energy
  • sensor.home_assistant_glow_total_energy

It doesn't matter if the entity resets during the day for example due to an update/or hard reset after reboot. The long-term statistics in Home Assistant can handle that.

Step-by-step guide to add entities​

  1. Open your Home Assistant dashboard/interface.
  2. From the sidebar, click on Energy.
  3. Click on the 3 dots in the top right corner and select Energy Configuration.
  4. Click on Add Consumption and select the entity you want to add.
  5. Optionally, you can setup the cost of your energy provider to get an overview of your energy costs.
  6. Click Save to apply the changes.
note

If your Glow has just been added to Home Assistant, you may need to wait up to 2 hours before enough long-term statistics are stored to show in the Energy Dashboard.
