Add costs & savings to power flow card

[swingstate]

Hi there,

I was wondering if the costs & savings (and maybe also the "costs" for wasted energy) in local currency could be added to the card.

At the moment I am doing this with several helpers, which obviously doesn't look that cool.

I think there a few areas in the card where these details could be added. Please see the mockup:

Thank you for your suggestion.
I personally think the card would get really crowded if we added text above and below each line.
Having said that, you can add the costs in the secondary_info since the last version in any of the circles you want 😊

This isn't actually bad :)

How can I add a secondary info for another saving sensor I am counting (daily)?

I was imagining something more like this, but that works too 👍

  home:
    entity: sensor.home_power
    color_value: true
    color_icon: true
    subtract_individual: true

I fell in love with your Power Flow Card Plus, thank you for the great work!

Similar to your last example I want to show the cost/benefit of the current power production and consumption as additional information in the Home circle.

The number can be positive when I'm earning money (in Euro-Cent per hour), and it can turn negative when I have to pay more than I'm earning.

Problem: I tried a lot with the different options, but negative numbers just don't show up

Is there any way to achieve it to display negative numbers?

positive number:

negative number doesn't show up:

Thank you very much for your kind words, means alot! 😊
Regarding the negative values secondary_info, this will be possible in the next version of the card, but is unfortunately not yet possible in the current version.
I don't know when I'll release the next version, because the UI-Editor is taking up a lot of time...

Thank you for your swift reply, I will wait for the next version then 👍
