Feature request: Differentiate between power consumed/produced variables about ha-energy-overview-card

[wminno]

Actually, I worked around this by creating a combined power sensor in the configuration.yaml that takes the net power usage from both sensors on the phases and combines them into a single one:

template:

• sensor:

  • name: "Stroomverbruik netto L1"
    unique_id: "stroom_netto_l1"
    unit_of_measurement: "W"
    state: >
    {{ states ('sensor.phases_power_consumed_phase_l1') | float(0) | round(0)
    - states ('sensor.phases_power_produced_phase_l1') | float(0) | round(0) }}

• sensor:

  • name: "Stroomverbruik netto L2"
    unique_id: "stroom_netto_l2"
    unit_of_measurement: "W"
    state: >
    {{ states ('sensor.phases_power_consumed_phase_l2') | float(0) | round(0)
    - states ('sensor.phases_power_produced_phase_l2') | float(0) | round(0) }}

• sensor:

  • name: "Stroomverbruik netto L3"
    unique_id: "stroom_netto_l3"
    unit_of_measurement: "W"
    state: >
    {{ states ('sensor.phases_power_consumed_phase_l3') | float(0) | round(0)
    - states ('sensor.phases_power_produced_phase_l3') | float(0) | round(0) }}

I'm not sure if I should change the implementation of my card here.
I'd rather have Template Support, so you don't have to create template sensors, but do it inline.

What do you think about that?

Having that in the card would be definitely nice. But if it's a major development hurdle like you mentioned, is it -really- worth it. Given you can quite easily do it with template sensors (took me 30 mins of fiddling to get it working). And if you need to do some corner cases, like me adding in-house real time usage based on PV delivery and power meter values, I may fall back to template sensors in the end after all..

Do love this card, thanks for it :)
