Home Assistant – Power Information Chart

I wanted to display my Electricity Price, Power Usage Hourly, Power Usage Daily and Power Usage Now in a column chart. 

All this because of new payment model i Norway where you pay according to Hourly Power Usage.

I decided to use custom:bar-card: https://github.com/custom-cards/bar-card

I downloaded some code from Home Assistant forum and Facebook group and added some tweaks of my own.

The code can be downloaded here:

  bar-card-value, bar-card-name {

    transform: rotate(270deg);
    white-space: nowrap;
  }
  bar-card-value {
    margin-right: auto;
    margin-left: 3px;
    margin-bottom: 0px;
    margin-top: auto;
    font-size: 12px;
  }
  bar-card-name {
    margin-right: auto;
    margin-left: 0px;
    margin-bottom: -130px;
    margin-top: 130px;

    font-size: 15px;
  }
  bar-card-currentbar, bar-card-backgroundbar {
    border-radius: 12px;
    border: 1px solid #DDD9;
  }

Below is a Light Mode screenshot from my phone.

 

I added also a simple automation that warns me when Power Usage Hourly passes 8.5kWh

All this to achieve maximum hourly consumption below 10kWh, due to new payment model to Norwegian grid companies.

I will also add some automations that temporary turn off devices and slows down my EV’s charging speed.

More  about that is coming soo.

    Have you had to make any changes over the years? Some of the config options don’t work any more, so I’m guessing they need card-mod now.
