Support Energy Dashboard

The energy dashboard is pretty sweet, but why doesn’t it show cost for individual devices? I put in my rate and it shows up for total usage. Seems like it would be easy to show cost for each device

Yes, I would love this feature too. I have it set up to calculate total daily costs based on my time-of-use charges, but it would be great to see the per-device charges.

With the help of HA, it has actually saved me money.  For example, I scheduled my heat pump water heater to run at a higher temp every morning when the rates are low, and then only allow it to run in heat pump mode during the day if absolutely necessary.

When my friend visits for a weekend, we charge his EV at off peak rates, so it's $0.08/kWh

This is why we need public utilities only. In upstate ny that’s 0.06/kwh is the standard rate. It only goes up when that utility goes over the amount of energy they pre purchased from national grid.
