Energy dashboard is reporting consumption at 1000x #1032

My energy dashboard (which previously had an Efergy CT clamp as the grid source) is now using Grid usage is showing 1000x and I've checked the entity data and it looks perfect so I'm at a loss. FYI. I've also posted to the discord HA energy forum because it looks to me like nothing to do with this integration. Any ideas? |

Hello. You are potentially using the wrong sensor with the dashboard. As per the docs you are wanting the accumulative sensor not the non accumulative one. The non accumulative sensor is a bit of a legacy sensor and provides the delta consumption since the last update (so it goes up and down) which might be causing the issues with the energy dashboard. |

Your suggestion worked. I don't fully understand why because the one I was using only ever increases (and reflects the smart meter total) so I though the energy dashboard works out the intra-day numbers. Anyway it's working - thank you. Classic way of me thinking I knew what to use and neglecting to RTFM. |

Ah sorry I misread the sensor you were using, but glad the dashboard is now reporting what you expect |
