N.B. Negative values will likely be truncated and not display gracefully. For this reason, when measuring energy you should use the same inputs as you use on the Home Assistant Energy Dashboard (i.e. separate grid import and grid export) and similarly when measuring power.
Some details about speed:
Speed expects an integer input between -100
and 100
.
It is possible to calculate the speed through a Home Assistant template, this allows to calculate the speed in relation to other data in Home Assistant.
This template will calculate a speed setting based on the amount of power drawn on a device as a fraction of the total power usage.

{% set total_power = states('sensor.ams_power_active') | float | round(3) %}
{% set entity_usage = (entity_power / total_power * 100) | float %}
{{ (entity_usage | round()) * -1 }}
