### Notable Devices

- **PowerMonitorMain** — Aeotec Home Energy Meter 8 (ZWA046), Z-Wave JS node 42, firmware 1.7.7. Entities `sensor.powermonitormain_*` (consumption/production W, kWh, V, A, PF, kVar per channel). Manuals in [manuals/](manuals/). 2-clamp version; endpoints: EP1/EP2 clamp 1 consumption/production, EP3/EP4 clamp 2, EP5/EP6 sum of clamps, EP7/EP8 net.

### Energy Dashboard

- **Grid** (configured 2026-10-01): two import entries, one per leg of PowerMonitorMain:
  - Leg 2: `sensor.powermonitormain_electric_consumption_kwh_3` / power `..._consumption_w_3` (EP3, clamp 2 consumption)
  - Leg 1: `sensor.powermonitormain_electric_production_kwh` / power `..._production_w` (EP2, clamp 1 "production") — **clamp 1 is installed reversed**, so leg 1 load reports as production (no solar; it reads all night). EP1 consumption has never registered. If clamp 1 is ever flipped, switch this entry to `sensor.powermonitormain_electric_consumption_kwh` (EP1), or replace both with EP5 (`..._consumption_kwh_5`, sum of clamps).
  - Don't use EP7 (net consumption) — with a reversed clamp it subtracts leg 1 instead of adding it.
  - Replaced `sensor.total_watts_wh` (old IoTaWatt at 10.100.0.62 — hardware removed; integration, device and 29 entities deleted from HA 2026-10-01). Meter statistics begin 2026-09-30.
- **Water** (configured 2026-10-01): consumption `sensor.water_total_usage` (Riemann integral helper of the flow rate, gal, lifetime total; registry device_class override → `water`), flow rate `sensor.droplet_prefilter_flow_rate` (gal/min, `stat_rate`)
- Droplet (utility room, pre-filter): `sensor.droplet_daily_water_usage` / `sensor.droplet_monthly_water_usage` are utility_meter helpers on `sensor.water_total_usage`. Don't use `sensor.droplet_prefilter_water` — it is a per-interval delta that goes negative, not a total.

## Notes

- Home Assistant OS manages its own Docker containers internally — the Docker bridge (172.30.32.1) shown in ESXi docs is internal to HAOS
- govc guest operations don't work (HAOS doesn't use standard Linux auth)
- Backed up by Veeam via "Backup VMs" job
