Ultimate Home Energy Dashboard: Track Electricity, Water, Gas & Solar

Are you tired of juggling between different utility apps and vendor portals just to check your electricity, water, and natural gas consumption? Imagine having all that critical consumption data consolidated into one clean, real-time dashboard.

In this video guide, we build the ultimate home energy tracking system using Home Assistant's Energy Dashboard and custom template sensors.

What You'll Learn:

• Whole-Home Electricity Monitoring: Setting up main breaker clamp CT sensors (like Emporia Vue or Shelly EM) to track grid import, export, and solar generation.
• Gas & Water Meter Reading: Integrating local smart meter readers or pulse counters to track cubic feet / gallons without recurring fees.
• Cost & Tariff Tracking: Configuring peak and off-peak rate structures so you know exactly what your monthly utility bill will be before it arrives.
• Solar & Battery Analytics: Visualizing daily solar yield and battery state of charge (SoC) in real-time.
