Hi everyone, I’ve recently encountered a situation where managing energy data in Home Assistant has become a bit of a puzzle. After installing an IoTaWatt device, I noticed some unexpected negative values in my energy consumption data, which threw off my entire dataset. I’ve read through several posts suggesting ways to delete old energy data, but many of the methods mentioned involve stopping Home Assistant and manually editing SQL tables—something that seems a bit daunting, especially when using Home Assistant OS on a Raspberry Pi.
The inconsistency in the advice I’ve found online has left me a bit confused. Some users mention specific SQL tables to target, while others suggest different approaches. My goal is to delete all the old energy data at once to avoid having to correct each entity individually, but I’m not quite sure how to go about it without risking data loss or system instability.
I’d love to hear from anyone who has successfully managed their energy data in Home Assistant. Are there any best practices or tools that make this process smoother? Maybe there’s a more streamlined method that I’m not aware of. I’m also curious if others have encountered similar issues with data anomalies and how they resolved them. Sharing experiences and solutions would be incredibly helpful for someone like me who’s still getting the hang of managing energy data in a smart home setup.
Thanks in advance for any insights or advice you can offer!
