Money day/week/month cumulative total data via Local MQTT?
I notice that the Glow Display in "money" mode can show figures for "£ today", "£ this week" and "£ this month" (as well as "£ per hour") - can these be added to one of the Local MQTT sensor topics?
For example, taking the example from the announcement blog (https://medium.com/@joshua.cooper/glow-local-mqtt-f69b776b7af4), perhaps there could be a new sub-section for "money" under "import"?

},

}
It's more of a "nice-to-have" as the current data is sufficient to calculate these numbers downstream (as long as they have been recorded for the whole time period), but given that the Display/CAD is already calculating them it probably wouldn't take much to read them and add them to the Local MQTT message?

If you know the tariff then the amount can be calculated using simple maths.
Yes, as long as it was recorded for the whole period and/or we assume the costs haven't changed during the time period. Hence why this is more of a "nice-to-have".
