Nanoleaf Essentials / HomePod Stereo Pairs / Sonoff S31

[MrSaiclops]

I've got three questions here:

• 1. Is there a particular reason Nanoleaf Essentials bulbs have not been added yet? Would I be able to use the measurement tool with a Sonoff S31 to creat e a profile?
• 2. Would I need a special configuration for a set of HomePod Minis that are used as the stereo configuration for my TV? They're using eARC through the Apple TV to provide for all HDMI inputs
• 3. If I'm trying to create a "Total Energy" meter using PowerCalc to use in the energy dashboard, would I be fine to use the Energy metric provided by a Sonoff S31? I noticed it resets daily, and was wondering if that would be an issue.

FYI: the Sonoff is not Tasmota, haven't had issues with eWe Link yet so I didn't tear 'em open.

Thanks!

No, no particular reason. Just nobody did a measurement for that. You of course can do that.
All instructions are here: https://homeassistant-powercalc.readthedocs.io/en/latest/contributing/measure.html

You might set multiply_factor in the sensor configuration options to 2 I guess. Which will multiply the power by 2.

• 3. If I'm trying to create a "Total Energy" meter using PowerCalc to use in the energy dashboard, would I be fine to use the Energy metric provided by a Sonoff S31? I noticed it resets daily, and was wondering if that would be an issue.

I'm not sure of your exact question. Sonof S31 is for one particular device, so the energy metric provided by that would also be for one device. Or do you mean you want to include that metric in a powercalc group? Then you can not use an energy sensor which resets daily. It must be an energy sensor which always increases.
Very strange if the Sonoff S31 does not provide that out of the box. When it doesn't you can create a new energy sensor integration the power value of the Sonoff S31. You can do that with powercalc https://homeassistant-powercalc.readthedocs.io/en/latest/sensor-types/real-power-sensor.html.

Thanks!
