Describe the issue

Suddenly all energy sensors in powercal became unavailable. I updated to the newest version 1.6.3, which seems to address something similar.

I’ve had the same issue over the last week with powercalc energy sensors going unavailable. I’m using the latest version and have the energy sensors setup in my sensors.yaml file. If I turn the device on, the sensors come back online again.

I’ll try and get some debug info for you tomorrow when I get home.

@viking2010 Which sensors are getting unavailable exactly? You are sure you are on the latest version of HA now? And recent version of Powercalc.

The energy sensors and utility meters, which I guess you have problems with, are actually provided by HA core integration. Powercalc only has some magic to create them automatically. So the bug would be also there and probably be better to report at HA core issue tracker.

To rule out that powercalc is the problem you can also just create the energy sensor and utility meter using the HA helpers section (Devices&Services > Helpers). create a Riemann integral sensor (energy sensor) and a Utility meter. When these also have the same problem it’s 100% certain it’s not a powercalc issue.

You could enable debug logging for those components, maybe that gives more insights.

logger:
  default: warning
  logs:
    custom_components.powercalc: debug
    homeassistant.components.utility_meter: debug
    homeassistant.components.integration: debug

Did you upgrade already to latest HA version, as a fix should already be available.

@bramstroker I did the update for the version 2023.6.3 last weekend and it didn’t happen again. Also, sometimes some sensors started to have a crazy comsumption (suddenly very high) and it seems that is also fixed. Thank you.

@Joao-Sousa-71 Thanks for the information. Please have a look into https://github.com/home-assistant/core/issues/92912 as this seems the same issue as you have and a lot of people reported this issue. Did you upgrade already to latest HA version, as a fix should already be available.
