<p>🎉 New Feature: Energy Cards Builder for Home Assistant & BTicino MyHome SCS</p><p>Hello everyone!</p><p>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vyWfomZCjeQ</p><p>We’re thrilled to announce a brand new feature in Sdomotica Gateway that makes it incredibly easy to visualize energy consumption data from your BTicino MyHome SCS system directly in Home Assistant Lovelace!</p><h2>⚡ Energy Cards Builder</h2><p>Energy Cards Builder allows you to automatically generate beautiful, interactive energy consumption cards for Home Assistant with just a few clicks. No more manual YAML configuration – just select your energy devices and download ready-to-use card configurations!</p><h3>📋 Requirements</h3><p>To use this feature, you need to have installed the following Home Assistant Community Store (HACS) cards:</p>

• stack-in-card – Layout and styling management
• config-template-card – Dynamic variable handling
• apexcharts-card – Interactive charts and visualizations

<hr /><h2>🔋 Supported BTicino Components</h2><h3>F520 – Single Phase Energy Meter</h3><p>Single-phase energy meter for monitoring electrical consumption in residential installations. Perfect for tracking individual circuits or appliances.</p><h3>F521 – Triple Single-Phase Energy Meter</h3><p>Energy meter with three independent single-phase channels. Perfect for monitoring multiple circuits or separate loads across different phases in your electrical system. Each channel measures independently.</p><h3>3522N – Load Control Module (NodyBox)</h3><p>Advanced load control module that not only measures energy consumption but also provides automatic load management capabilities. Enables smart load shedding and priority-based consumption control.</p><hr /><h2>📊 Data Storage Strategy</h2><p>BTicino’s load control system implements an intelligent data retention strategy:</p><p>Hourly Data: Last 12 months</p>

• Detailed hourly consumption records are preserved for the past year
• Ideal for analyzing daily patterns, peak hours, and seasonal trends

<p>Monthly Data: Last 5 years</p>

• Aggregated monthly consumption data spanning five years
• Perfect for long-term trend analysis and year-over-year comparisons
• Helps identify efficiency improvements and usage patterns

<hr /><h2>💾 CSV Export & Data Analysis</h2><p>Thanks to Sdomotica Gateway, you’re no longer limited to the built-in visualizations. You can:</p><p>✅ Download hourly and monthly consumption data in CSV format ✅ Perform detailed custom analysis in Excel, Python, or any data analysis tool ✅ Create your own reports and visualizations ✅ Identify consumption anomalies and optimization opportunities ✅ Share data with energy auditors or consultants</p><hr /><h2>🚀 How It Works</h2>

1. Select your energy devices from the Energy Cards Builder interface
2. Choose the time period (Daily, Monthly, or Yearly)
3. Download the YAML card configuration with a single click
4. Copy into Home Assistant Lovelace and enjoy instant energy insights!

<p>The cards automatically fetch data from your BTicino system and display:</p>

• Real-time consumption graphs
• Total consumption summaries
• Interactive charts with zoom and download capabilities
• Month/Year selectors for historical data

<hr /><h2>🎯 Use Cases</h2>

• Home Energy Audit: Track which devices consume the most energy
• Cost Optimization: Identify peak usage hours and shift consumption
• Renewable Energy Integration: Monitor solar production vs. consumption
• Tenant Billing: Detailed consumption reports for energy allocation
• Historical Analysis: Long-term trends across multiple years
