Total Daily Energy Sensor
=========================

    :description: Instructions for setting up sensors that track the total daily energy usage per day and accumulate the power usage.

The ``total_daily_energy`` sensor is a helper sensor that can use the power value of
other sensors like the :doc:`HLW8012 <hlw8012>`, :doc:`CSE7766 <cse7766>`, :doc:`ATM90E32 <atm90e32>`, etc and integrate
it over time.

So this component allows you to convert readings in ``W`` or ``kW`` to readings of the total
daily energy usage in ``Wh`` or ``kWh``.

.. code-block:: yaml

    # Example configuration entry
    sensor:
      - platform: total_daily_energy
        name: 'Total Daily Energy'
        power_id: my_power
        unit_of_measurement: 'kWh'
        state_class: total_increasing
        device_class: energy
        accuracy_decimals: 3
        filters:
          # Multiplication factor from W to kW is 0.001
          - multiply: 0.001

      # The power sensor to convert, can be any power sensor
      - platform: hlw8012
        # ...
        power:
          id: my_power

    # Enable time component to reset energy at midnight
    time:
      - platform: homeassistant
        id: homeassistant_time

Configuration variables:
------------------------

- **power_id** (**Required**, :ref:`config-id`): The ID of the power sensor
  to integrate over time.
- **restore** (*Optional*, boolean): Whether to store the intermediate result on the device so
  that the value can be restored upon power cycle or reboot.
  Defaults to ``true``.
- **method** (*Optional*, string): The method to use for calculating the total daily energy. One of
  ``trapezoid``, ``left`` or ``right``. Defaults to ``right``.
- All other options from :ref:`Sensor <config-sensor>`.

Converting from W to kW
-----------------------

Some sensors such as the :doc:`HLW8012 <hlw8012>` expose their power sensor with a unit of measurement of
``W``. To have your readings in ``kW``, use a filter:

.. code-block:: yaml

    sensor:
      # The power sensor to convert, can be any power sensor
      - platform: hlw8012
        # ...
        power:
          id: my_power
          filters:
            # Multiplication factor from W to kW is 0.001
            - multiply: 0.001
          unit_of_measurement: kW

Lifetime instead of Daily
-------------------------

For a more-generic version of this component which does not reset every midnight, see :doc:`integration`, which can provide device-lifetime values instead of daily values with the following example settings:

.. code-block:: yaml

    # Example configuration entry
    sensor:
      - platform: integration
        name: 'Total Energy'
        sensor: my_power
        time_unit: h
        restore: true
        state_class: total_increasing
        device_class: energy
