Energy panel HA no powerstream

[hardyn66a]

Why can't you insert the Powerstream yield into the HA energy panel?

What exactly do you mean by yield?
Please provide more details.

I think he means the "energy" dashboard in this panel:

After reading this documentation: https://www.home-assistant.io/docs/energy/faq/#troubleshooting-missing-entities, it seems that HA requires a sensor of type "total" or "total_increasing". The total production value is something that the official ecoflow app supports and displays, but it doesn't seem to be part of the device data that Ecoflow provides through the /devices/quota API (and probably similarly with MQTT). If i'm reading the API docs correctly, this information is simply not offered for now.

The HA energy docs state:

If you have a sensor that returns instantaneous power readings (W or kW), then to add a sensor that returns energy usage or generation (kWh), refer to the Riemann sum integral integration.

This is probably a bit imprecise, as it assumes the momentanous power production was there all the time since the last update. I did not yet test this properly, but using this Helper (Settings -> Devices -> Helpers -> Create Helper (Integral)) I was able to add it to the dashboard.

the @nemhods solution is correct, this issue can be closed
