Why aren't my sensors showing up in the Home Assistant Energy dashboard?

Most often, sensors are missing the correct state_class (like total_increasing) or device_class: energy. This skill ensures your YAML configuration includes these mandatory attributes.

How does this skill help save tokens?

By providing precise implementation patterns and preventing circular troubleshooting for common Home Assistant errors, the skill reduces the number of prompts needed to reach a working configuration.

Can this skill help with solar and battery setups?

Yes, it includes specific patterns for tracking solar production, grid return, and battery charge/discharge cycles, including how to handle self-consumption calculations.

What is the difference between power and energy in Home Assistant?

Power (W) is instantaneous, while Energy (kWh) is consumption over time. This skill helps you use Riemann sum integration to convert power readings into energy data compatible with the Energy dashboard.
