Need help with creating custom sensors.

[wwwescape]

I have a couple of these Wi-Fi Fan Touch Switches: https://okos.in/products/okos-fan-switch

I wanted to log the power of these switches in Home Assistant using PowerCalc but haven't been able to do so successfully.

I have confirmed from Okos that the idle power consumed, when state is off, is 0.2w. When the state is on, the power consumed supposed to the be the power of the connected applicance, in my case a 60w ceiling fan. The fan has 5 steps so I'm assuming each step will be a 12w increase.

This is an example entity:

percentage will have the following values: 20, 40, 60, 80 and 100.

How would I go about setting up the sensors using PowerCalc?

You need to use the linear strategy. Have a look at: https://homeassistant-powercalc.readthedocs.io/en/latest/strategies/linear.html

Set standby_power to 0.2 and use min_power, max_power or calibration to set the linear scale for when the Okos is on.

Thanks. Let me give this a try.

This worked. I went through the documentation but was still confused.

ok nice. What made you confused? Improvements are welcome.

There was nothing wrong with the documentation. It was me just having an idea set in my mind that I should be using 'Fixed' instead of 'Linear'.

By the way the Okos Wi-Fi touch switches are just repackaged Tuya devices.
