Possible to add a 3rd "individual" entity?

[timstephenson20]

Massive thanks for creating this version - does pretty much everything that could be needed from a power flow card and solves most of the issues affecting others.
One question I did have though is whether it might be possible to add a 3rd "individual" entity to the card alongside the two existing options? We have two EV chargers and would love to show them separately alongside our ASHP.
Thanks!

Thank you very much for the compliment!
This is a feature that has been requested multiple times:
Unfortunately, with the current layout and space available, this is impossible to achieve. The only thing I could try to implement (this would still be very difficult) is have the user create a list of individual devices and the two devices that are consuming the most, get to show up in the card

[timstephenson20]

Fair enough! Did think adding it might be a bit of a challenge given the layout.
Showing the most active two devices is an interesting idea; sounds like a fair amount of work for not necessarily a huge amount of gain though. I'll just present both charger usages as a single value for now so consider my problem solved.
Looking forward to seeing how it all evolves though :)

Thanks for the reply.

Would be nice to see a list of individual devices as different colors in 1 circle:

Then I could create 1 individual device for multiple high usage devices.
In my case electric car charging and hybrid car charging.

individual1:
  entity:
    - sensor.car2_energy
    - sensor.car_energy
  name: cars
  icon: mdi:car

Thanks for your feedback, understood it's difficult to implement in practice (though your power flow meter seems to be able to?).

I second the suggestion of @thomas-svrts as it would resolve many use-cases, e.g. multiple car chargers or my heat pump floor/water heating counters. 2 values could be shown in the circle similar to the 'grid' is now showing.

Have you tried to combine the two sensors in a template sensor? I did this for my 5 aircon units (each has cooling and heating sensors!), to get a single sensor for the whole heat pump:

template:
  - sensor:
      - name: "Climate Total Daily Electrical Consumption"
        unit_of_measurement: "kWh"
        state: >
          {% set a = states('sensor.downstairs_open_plan_climatecontrol_heating_daily_electrical_consumption') | float %}
          {% set b = states('sensor.downstairs_open_plan_climatecontrol_cooling_daily_electrical_consumption') | float %}
          {% set c = states('sensor.study_b_climatecontrol_heating_daily_electrical_consumption') | float %}
          {% set d = states('sensor.study_b_climatecontrol_cooling_daily_electrical_consumption') | float %}
          {% set e = states('sensor.master_bedroom_a_climatecontrol_heating_daily_electrical_consumption') | float %}
          {% set f = states('sensor.master_bedroom_a_climatecontrol_cooling_daily_electrical_consumption') | float %}
          {% set g = states('sensor.bedroom_2_c_climatecontrol_heating_daily_electrical_consumption') | float %}
          {% set h = states('sensor.bedroom_2_c_climatecontrol_cooling_daily_electrical_consumption') | float %}
          {% set i = states('sensor.bedroom_3_d_climatecontrol_heating_daily_electrical_consumption') | float %}
          {% set j = states('sensor.bedroom_3_d_climatecontrol_cooling_daily_electrical_consumption') | float %}
          {{a+b+c+d+e+f+g+h+i+j}}
        device_class: energy

Note, this is the syntax for including in configuration.yaml. I've never managed to get the syntax for including in sensor.yaml or template.yaml (which I believe are different) working.

Is there any chance your answer has changed in light of your recent update to power-flow-plus that now allows up to four individual entities? I very much like both cards--thank you for your hard work on them!
