If you have a LaMetric device and a home energy meter of some kind, you can create a near-realtime display of your power and energy usage, a power graph, and the time-of-use (TOU) metering rate that is currently active.
It is also useful for net metering customers who may have rooftop photovoltaic arrays (solar panels) or other local generation capabilities and would like to know if they are consuming or generating power without having to open an app or a webpage.
This app is hardcoded for my specific configuration and electricity provider but if there is enough interest it can be made more configurable. As it stands now I will provide the code as-is and leave the configuration example here:
superior_lametric_hem:
module: LaMetric
class: EnergyApp
lametric_app_id: [redacted]
lametric_access_token: [redacted]
power_meter: sensor.whole_house_power
energy_meter: sensor.whole_house_energy
rate: sensor.electric_meter,rate
energy_offset: 1234.567
dependencies: tou_mode_manager
tou_mode: input_select.tou_modeenergy_offset will add that value to the meter's energy (kWh) reading. This is in case you reset the meter on the device, inadvertently or otherwise, and would like to restore your previous reading.
dependencies and tou_mode are optional and depend on the separate tou module.
rate is optional (use a comma if you want to specify an attribute) and will load if power_meter is specified.
- Same caveats as any service that is cloud-hosted: no internet = no work.
