Edit documentation on Energy Data and how it works to avoid "quota exceeded" errors

[dmnkmnr]

Before requesting a new feature / a new sensor

• The feature I'm requesting exists in the myVAILLANT app, and I attached a screenshot
• I tested the latest release, and it's missing there
• I've attached exported data of my system

Describe the feature you want

As probably many others I often do get "quota exceeded" errors. To avoid that, I wanted to change my settings.
I went to your documentation and I wondered: which entities go under "energy data" and which are updated on a more frequent basis. Can you list them in your documentation?

Use Cases

For reasons of monitoring I am interested in two information:

• current power of the heatpump (should be updated as frequent as possible)
• "electrical data" such as efficiency value etc. (I think to visualize the consumption in the energy dashboard it's enough to pull these data once in an hour to really see the consumption of the heat pump in the last hour)

Regarding the last point: I included 2 screenshots from the HA energy dashboard.
January 1: The data pulls worked really well. I didn't get any errors and I can see what the consumption of the heatpump was in every hour of the day.
January 6: Although I didn't change any settings, it seems that I got an error and the first successful update was at 12:00. Unfortunately home assistant put all the consumption of the last 12 hours in the time slot of 11:00-12:00.

How can I visualize this in the energy dashboard graph correctly and simultaneously avoid the quota exceeded errors while pulling the - I guess - "energy data"?

I think there is no way if you have quota exceeded error. Energy dashboard will concentrate energy consumption in an hour slot (if previous was missing) when vaillant integration is able to retrieve data. The only way to avoid quota errors is to disable energy data not strictly necessary (in my case i disabled efficiency and some other). I reduced data request at only 4 a day (1 every 6 hours) using an automation and i don't have quota errors anymore.
