Energy Overview Card by @Sese-Schneider

A simple card which displays energy usage details of one or multiple entities.

Features:

• Variable amount of monitoring entities
• Voltage, Current, Power, Frequency and Power Factor display
• Automatic unit of measurement detection and ordering
• Adjustable names, colors, labels and icons
• Configurable dynamic animations adapting to power usage

Three-phase power monitoring example:

Configuration

A graphical user interface (GUI) to configure the card is available.

After installation, simply press "Add Card", search for "Energy Overview", and add the card. Now you can start the configuration via the GUI.

Direct configuration via YAML is also available. For details see below.
