Hourly consumption is registered 1 hour late in Home Assistant

[mloraas]

Due to the fact that current hours consumption is sent 10 seconds past the next hour, when this is registered in Home Assistant, it gets registered as consumption in the same hour as the value is received. This leads to a one hour delay of the consumption values.

This is problematic when calculating hourly tariffs, and makes the energy dashboard fail when comparing consumption with "individual devices".

It would be very nice if it is possible to modify the timestamps of the values that is registered with Home Assistant, so that the value is interpreted as belonging to the previous hour.

I have done some googleing, and came accross this thread:

I don't know if it relevant or possible for this problem, though.

This seems to be an issue for a lot of people:

A solution that is mentioned, is using an integral sensor with the power report from the meter. This surely works, but is not as accurate and more susceptible to downtime/disruptions.

The accumulated energy reading from the meter itself is considered the correct value, and it would be nice to have this value correctly interpreted.
