Energy Monitoring Dashboards - Show us yours

With Energy costs being such a major topic currently, I've been spending a lot of effort trying to represent my energy usage in a clear dashboard.

I'm not a great fan of the presentation style of Hubitat dashboards and so have tried Home Assistant and Grafana.

I have tried using the Energy dashboard in HA, as well as custom dashboards but didn't find that they addressed all of my requirements:

My preferred option to date is to export data from HE to InfluxDB (using InfluxDB logger) and then used Grafana to display the information. I thought it would be helpful for others if we all share different formats so people can use them as inspiration and give feedback and advice:

Note:

I'm about to have a second Solar Array installed and so this is still 'work in progress' with more information to add. Also, please note that today isn't a great solar generation day!

Please share your own examples and we can all build and enhance our dashboards as a result. :slight_smile:

Hi @UKMedia,

I am also in preparation for a solar panel installation. Like you, I'm using InfluxDB + Grafana, and I'm using HA for a couple of its many integrations. I'm also sharing virtual switches between HE and HA.

Here are a few plots from my primary Grafana dashboard. Sorry for the use of the archaic Fahrenheit temperature scale. :wink:


I could explain what I'm trying to accomplish, but it's a WIP, and a bit off-topic for the thread.
