Random Configuration - fossil_fuel_percentage state type

[Triggs88]

I seen on the random configuration that the fossil fuel percentage state type shows both percentage and watts. Can anyone please explain how this is added as the documentation just shows one or the other?

Thanks

You just add something like this as a secondary info above the icon:

secondary_info:
  entity: sensor.electricity_maps_anteil_fossiler_brennstoffe_im_netz
  unit_of_measurement: "%"
  decimals: 0

I'd like to add, that as far as i understand this, the label should not be "low-carbon" but "something else" as
the sensors used for this are giving the percentage of fossil fuel in the mix and the Watt are calculated the other way around.

Edit: I created a sensor from the difference (100% minus sensor.fossil%) to circumvent htis problem and used this for secondary display. So both values (below and above the icon state "green energy")

- name: "energymix_non_fossil"
  unique_id: "energymix_non_fossil"
  state: "{{ 100 - (states ('sensor.electricity_maps_anteil_fossiler_brennstoffe_im_netz') | float(0) | round(1)) }}"

Thanks for your comment. I am sorry but I don't understand what you mean. I have tried adding what you mentioned having a secondary_info but that didn't work:
secondary_info:
entity: sensor.electricity_maps_anteil_fossiler_brennstoffe_im_netz
unit_of_measurement: "%"
decimals: 0

Can you help with some steps please?

e.g. add the following under this:
fossil_fuel_percentage:
entity: sensor.co2_signal_grid_fossil_fuel_percentage
color_icon: true
display_zero: true
name: Low-carbon
state_type: power

No problem, in your case it should look like this:

fossil_fuel_percentage:
  entity: sensor.co2_signal_grid_fossil_fuel_percentage
  color_icon: true
  display_zero: true
  name: Low-carbon
  state_type: power
  secondary_info:
    entity: sensor.co2_signal_grid_fossil_fuel_percentage
    unit_of_measurement: "%"
    decimals: 0

This would give you the percentage of fossil fuel above the icon.
As is said above, this somewhat collides with the ""low-carbon" label, as this is the carbon-percentage (not low-carbon-percentage) and you would mix carbon % above the icon and low-carbon Watt below the icon in this ring.

To correct this, you can create a template sensor: (names are up to you)

name: "non_fossil_fuel_percentage"
unique_id: "non_fossil_fuel_percentage"
state: "{{ 100 - (states ('sensor.co2_signal_grid_fossil_fuel_percentage') | float(0) | round(1)) }}"

and use this as the sensor for the secondary_info:

  secondary_info:
    entity: sensor.non_fossil_fuel_percentage
    unit_of_measurement: "%"
    decimals: 0

Then you would display percentage and Watt of "low-carbon" energy.
