Home Assistant - Monitor Energy Costs
Budget: $30 – $250 AUD
I'm looking for a freelancer with Home Assistant experience to help me track my monthly electricity costs using Templates and Helpers or yaml.
I want to display on my dashboard the current month total energy cost (grid import - grid export = total cost).
I currently measure my electricity usage using a Shelly EM using the following sensor entities to track grid import/export:
import:
sensor.shellyem_ec64c9c05c30_channel_1_energy
export:
sensor.shellyem_ec64c9c05c30_channel_1_energy_returned
My electric Tarif is simple.
- Grid export (from solar) - 9.33c per KWh
- Grid import - 26.55c per KWh
I have entered Tarif and import/export into Home Assistant energy configuration. The total daily/monthly costs are generating correctly.
I want to display the total energy cost for each month as a card on my dashboard. It would also be nice if the dashboard card title dynamically changed at the start of each month to: <month> Energy Cost
