## Introduction to Xiaomi Home Assistant
The Xiaomi Home Assistant is a smart home system that integrates various devices, including smart plugs, to provide a seamless and automated living experience. One of the key features of this system is its ability to monitor and report energy consumption. However, some users have encountered issues with the system not syncing daily and monthly energy consumption information from their smart plugs.
## Understanding the Issue
The problem arises when the Xiaomi Home Assistant fails to create and update the energy consumption data (in kWh) for smart plugs within the Home Assistant (HA) system. Although the smart plugs successfully report their current switch status and power consumption (in watts), the energy consumption data remains unavailable in HA. This data is, however, accessible through the Mi Home app.
## Reproducing the Issue
To reproduce this issue, follow these steps:
1. Ensure your smart plug is connected and reporting its status and power consumption correctly.
2. Verify that the energy consumption data is visible in the Mi Home app.
3. Check the Home Assistant for the energy consumption data; it should be missing or not updating.
## Expected Behavior
The expected behavior is for the Home Assistant to sync and display the daily and monthly energy consumption information for each smart plug. This data is crucial for monitoring energy usage and optimizing smart home automation.
## Logs and System Information
- **Home Assistant Logs:** No response or relevant logs indicating the issue.

2. **Check Configuration:** Verify that the smart plug and the Xiaomi Home Assistant are properly configured and connected.
3. **Restart Home Assistant:** Sometimes, simply restarting the Home Assistant system can resolve connectivity and syncing issues.
4. **Manual Sync:** If available, manually trigger a sync between the Xiaomi Home Assistant and the smart plug to update the energy consumption data.
5. **Support:** If the issue persists, contact Xiaomi support or the Home Assistant community for further assistance. They can provide more specific troubleshooting steps or fixes based on the latest developments and user experiences.
## Conclusion
The Xiaomi Home Assistant offers a powerful platform for managing and automating smart home devices.
