10% threshold on total_increasing reset detection causing unexpected values #133588
Open
Description
The problem
I am combining two total_increasing class energy sensors into one with the following configuration in my templates - sensors config:
- unique_id: total_daily_energy
name: Total Daily Energy
unit_of_measurement: "Wh"
device_class: energy
state_class: total_increasing
state: "{{ states('sensor.energy_monitor_a_total_daily_energy') | float(0) + states('sensor.energy_monitor_b_total_daily_energy') | float(0) }}"
availability: "{{ states('sensor.energy_monitor_a_total_daily_energy') | float(none) != none and states('sensor.energy_monitor_b_total_daily_energy') | float(none) != none }}"The problem is that energy monitor a uses less than 10% of the energy as b, so when a resets, the total drops by less than 10%, and the 10% threshold here:
causes it to log a negative value. If both reset simultaneously, this isn't an issue, and if only b resets, it also isn't an issue as that is a large enough decrease to trigger a reset.What version of Home Assistant Core has the issue?
