Does anybody else have issues with 'daily energy' never resetting at the end of the day?
I did need to set my own sntp server (network doesn't allow traffic to the outside) but that didn't help. Looking at the logs from the Emporia, every message has the correct time in front of it.
Let me clarify this a bit - if I look at the 'energy' dashboard, the daily energy is correct. I have an 'entities' card set up in one of my dashboard views and it shows individual circuits and individual daily power usage (and total daily power usage). It is those totals sensors that do not reset.
Platfom 'Total Daily Energy Sensor' states:

# Enable time component to reset energy at midnight
time:
  - platform: sntp
    id: my_time

From what I can tell, the time platform is working as every single status message from the Emporia has the correct time stamp .... but maybe that time component is different from the time that shows up in the logs - how do I check if id: my_time is correct? my_time is not an entity or a helper so how can I verify it?

My daily energy value also did not reset at first. I don't know exactly what I did to fix it. It may have started working on its own at some point after a few days or maybe a week. I do remember that I changed the time platform from sntp to:

time:
  - platform: homeassistant
    id: homeassistant_time

This is working fine for me and is syncing time via home assistant. I have my emporia vue 2 on an isolated VLAN which doesn't have internet access, so sntp probably wasn't working (my DHCP server hands out local ntp server info, but I think most devices ignore that).

Thanks for that mgulick. I tried that this morning but this gives me a compile error which is likely due to me having to compile the Emporia configuration on a computer other than the computer running HA.
It is good to know I am not the only person that has/had daily reset issues.

Is there another location, discord or an issue somewhere, that these things can be discussed. I'm honestly watching this gist in case there are changes or issues with the integration itself.

You could just watch the Integration source repository that is linked to in the example configuration. Not sure where else to discuss issues as there is no issue tracker?

changes or issues with the integration itself.

@Jens5395, I would frequently have compile errors when rebuilding after making changes to the configuration. Cleaning the build artifacts usually resolved the issue. It looks like this option is called "Clean Build Files" from the ESPHome dashboard (https://esphome.io/guides/getting_started_hassio.html) and esphome clean <config> from the ESPHome CLI (https://esphome.io/guides/cli.html#clean-command).

Ha!!!! That did the trick, it compiled! Now to see if it fixes things at midnight ....
Thanks!

@clowrey sure, my point is that these issues are not related to the Emporia Vue.

Please keep all discussion here

Hey y'all, I've had my own gripes with Gist as a discussion platform as well.

Any further comments here will be deleted and recreated in https://github.com/emporia-vue-local/esphome/discussions. This will be the last comment on this gist.
