It's a known issue and is fixes in #145 . Not released yet, but it's fixed in master. If you need this now, I recommend you to run the master version.

Just released https://github.com/custom-components/zaptec/releases/tag/v0.7.3 which includes the fix for this. Happy days.

If the latest version fixes, the issue, please confirm and I'll close this issue. Thanks.

Hi hallo Svein. Here is the results. First of all thanks for being engaged in Zaptec integration in HA. The results are not satisfactory . Send over Screenshots from HA energy page . The shots arr just projecting different windows open. An there is a big discrepancy of numbers. And unspecified consumption ( gray negative pillar ) occur when zaptec is installed in HA One shot from Zapotec energy page . true numbers shown there. I can not figure out what’s wrong. I am not familjär with yaml, phyton, or java. Thank again Erling Asker

@kolmyren your last post is missing the attachments.

Which entity are you using in the energy setup in HA? What entity is "Färdig Laddning"? You should be using the one named "... Energy Meter" or ""Förbrukad energi" på svenska.

Sorry Here coms attachments .. I will Rename the things you mentioned .
Not renaming the sensor .. just what's shown on energy page.
Beside you could name to anything .. is this not the case as long as not renaming the sensor ?

Yes, you can set a display name as you want. The important part is that it uses the right entity

I do not think the renaming changed outcome

I don't think you can have "Laddbox laddad denne sessionen", "Laddbox Förbrukad energi" and "Laddbox Energi denne laddingen" in the same energy setup. I'm no expert in how HA has made this, but think of it as the sum of each item in the "Enskilda enheter" adds up to the sum energy consumption. By having the same information from Laddbox three times in various forms won't have the outcome you expect I think. I think the only one present should be the "Laddbox Förbrukad energi".

Ok.. I'm with you.. i have tried all combinations .. singel and with two sensors . and three sensors ..
No setup is working for sensible readouts .. its not possible to make readouts like in zaptec App..

Ok i have erased all except the one you recommended

[kolmyren]

This is outcome for this

I'm not sure what kind of graphs you want. The energy view in HA is implemented the way HA-team wants it to be. This is not something this Zaptec integration is able to fix. The integration provides data points / entities from charging and makes them available for HA and the user. There are other ways to produce graphs in HA, e.g. via. apex charts. However, this is beyond the scope of this thread.

PS! If there are anyone that have any useful graphing setups that e.g. make a charge graph similar to the one in Zaptec portal, I'm happy to accept pull requests to update the documentation.
