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/. 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
