Greatly appreciate that and the fact that this won't make the next release is surely understandable. Just the fact you have it on the list is awesome and something i believe many users would use if available. Christian |

@bramstroker I was diggin the repo commentaries because I struggle to find elegant solution for sub-meters that are part of a circuit that is already metered (by some 'bigger' meter'). Of course it's perfectly doable with simple sensor template BUT trouble is when submeter gets sometimes disconnected. The powercalc can deal with that, no problem. But this is leaving one with kinda complicated setup template sensor -> powercalc device/group (negative) -> part of another group with 'big meters'. And this could be done with simple radio button "treat input as negative" or kind of. So my vote for such an enhancement: make possible to input some entities as negative (power-directly, energy- negative diferrence) |

Would it be possible to add the ability to create a fictitious energy entity from other entities?
One of my biggest issues I have with the Energy dashboard in Home Assistant is that it shows the total consumption and individual devices, but not the rest amount as a fictitious entity - that would give the ability to show the Energy tab as a Pie chart.
For example, below it would take the total consumption and subtract the summarized energy for all the devices and show a new device called "Other".
Not sure if it would be possible to create a new entity by defining either plus and minus posts or use logic.
Calculate:
Subtract:
Or,
{total_energy} - ({device_energy} + {device_energy} + {device_energy})
With that data the Energy dashboard could generate a Pie chart as below,
