Get Group Entities

Open your Home Assistant instance and show your service developer tools with a specific action selected.

Use this action to retrieve all the member entity IDs of a group entity.

Example

action: powercalc.get_group_entities
target:
  entity_id: sensor.my_group_power
data: {}

Example response:

sensor.tracked_power:
  entities:
    - sensor.kitchen_light_power
    - sensor.furnace_power
    - sensor.magic_power

Energy calculated from a power group

When an energy group integrates a power group over time, the action returns the source group's power sensor members. The source_entity field identifies that power group:

sensor.my_group_energy:
  entities:
    - sensor.kitchen_light_power
    - sensor.furnace_power
  source_entity: sensor.my_group_power

Groups that sum existing energy meters return their energy sensor members as usual.

For the standby group, the response lists the sensors currently contributing standby power. Individual sensors and energy sensors without a loaded source power group cannot be used with this action.
