Energy dashboard - show the average temperature

[gilder0]

It would be ideal to show the average temperature value in the energy consumption graphs, as the energy consumption (electricity, gas) for heating depends largely on it.

Moreover, if possible, it could be also useful to add weather data (raining, cloudy, etc...), as it's important when having solar panel that largely depends on it of course.
Showing this data down to the hourly bar could be useful.

I agree, it would be very useful. At least adding temperature - it would be enough to allow add temperature sensor on same place with other comsumption devices, and display it in the standard way.
If another sensor can be added, information about the percentage of precipitation or the percentage of cloud cover could be added in a similar way.

I don't think there's any interest in adding more sensors to Energy right now, but you can always make your own custom energy dashboard and add as much extra sensor information as you want to it.

@karwosts I can create my own dashboard, but I couldn't find how to create my own custom energy dashboard even in doc. Can you please advise me? It is not possible add an energy card to a normal dashboard (or I don't know how).

[karwosts]

Create a card, select "Manual" type, and enter the card types in yaml as listed in my link above.

e.g. type: energy-usage-graph

@karwosts Wow, thank you, that's what I'm looking for. I didn't know that.
👍👍👍
