Groups don't create daily/weekly/monthly energysensors with create_utility_meters: true

See original GitHub issue

Not sure if this is intended behavior or not (or if I’ve misconfigured something - I’m new to all of this), but I’ve noticed that powercalc groups don’t seem to get the daily/weekly/monthly energy sensors that individual devices get.

My config:

 powercalc:
   scan_interval: 00:01:00 #Each minute
   power_sensor_naming: "{} Powersensor"
   energy_sensor_naming: "{} Energysensor"
   create_utility_meters: true

  - platform: powercalc # Bedroom Lights Power Usage Estimation
    create_group: Bedroom Lights
    entities: 
      - entity_id: light.bedroom_ceiling_light_1
        linear:
          min_power: 0.5
          max_power: 9
        standby_usage: 0.3
      - entity_id: light.bedroom_ceiling_light_2
        linear:
          min_power: 0.5
          max_power: 9
        standby_usage: 0.3

This results in all of the expected powersensors, as well as the following expected energy sensors:

sensor.bedroom_ceiling_light_1_energysensor
sensor.bedroom_ceiling_light_1_energysensor_daily
sensor.bedroom_ceiling_light_1_energysensor_weekly
sensor.bedroom_ceiling_light_1_energysensor_monthly

sensor.bedroom_ceiling_light_2_energysensor
sensor.bedroom_ceiling_light_2_energysensor_daily
sensor.bedroom_ceiling_light_2_energysensor_weekly
sensor.bedroom_ceiling_light_2_energysensor_monthly

sensor.bedroom_lights_energysensor

But the following energysensors are not created:

sensor.bedroom_lights_energysensor_daily
sensor.bedroom_lights_energysensor_weekly
sensor.bedroom_lights_energysensor_monthly

This behavior is consistent across all of the groups I’ve set up, not just the Bedroom Lights group I used as an example here.

@NCC1941 Yes I see, it’s also broken for me it seems. I’m on it.

This was indeed a bug.

Will be fixed with #298. Doing some final testing now. Also allows you to disable utility meter creation per group. For example:

- platform: powercalc # Bedroom Lights Power Usage Estimation
    create_group: Bedroom Lights
    create_utility_meters: false
    entities: 
      - entity_id: light.bedroom_ceiling_light_1
        linear:
          min_power: 0.5
          max_power: 9
        standby_usage: 0.3
      - entity_id: light.bedroom_ceiling_light_2
        linear:
          min_power: 0.5
          max_power: 9
        standby_usage: 0.3
