Energy Monitoring

This component allows you to get additional measurements features with you favorite energy meter. It calculates Apparent Power, Reactive Power and Power Factor.

You can take a look at sample of usage of Energy* components in configuration for ZMAi-90 energy meter based on TYWE3S: zmai90.yaml

The configuration is very simple. Look at a sample below:

# Example configuration entry
 ...
external_components:
  - source: github://dentra/esphome-components
 ...
sensor:
  - platform: energy_monitoring
    power: power_id
    voltage: voltage_id
    current: current_id
    apparent_power:
      name: Apparent Power
    reactive_power:
      name: Reactive Power
    power_factor:
      name: Power Factor
    wait_time: 500

Configuration variables:

• id (Optional, ID): Manually specify the ID used for code generation.
• power (Required, ID): The ID of the power sensor from your power meter.
• voltage (Required, ID): The ID of the voltage sensor from your power meter.
• current (Optional, ID): The ID of the current sensor from your power meter.
• apparent_power (Optional, Sensor): The sensor with calculated apparent power.
  • Any options from Sensor.
• reactive_power (Optional, Sensor): The sensor with calculated reactive power.
  • Any options from Sensor.
• power_factor (Optional, Sensor): The sensor with calculated power factor.
  • Any options from Sensor.
• wait_time (Optional, int): Time in milliseconds to wait before previous calculations. Defaults to 500ms. Set to 0 to disable it.

Bonus: Works even with pulse meters.

Just set power sensor, but voltage make as static or use it from your smart socket.

Example with static voltage:

# Example configuration entry
sensor:
  - platform: energy_monitoring
    power: power_id
    voltage: voltage_id
    apparent_power:
      name: Apparent Power
    reactive_power:
      name: Reactive Power
    power_factor:
      name: Power Factor
      # Supports None or "%" for unit_of_measurement, default: None
      # unit_of_measurement: "%"
  - platform: template
    id: voltage
    lambda: return 230.0;

Example with voltage from Home Assistant:
