Hi, I solved this in my installation by using the group integration and a template sensor. I am using 20 lights.
Unfortunately you still have to setup 100 lights in the powercalc integration and define them in the group. But you only need to do this one time.

Step1 - Setup powercalc:

sensor:
  - platform: powercalc
    entity_id: light.livingroom
  - platform: powercalc
    entity_id: light.bedroom

Step2 - Create a group of the power sensors created by powercalc

group:
  all_light_power:
    name: All lights power
    entities:
      - sensor.livingroom_power
      - sensor.bedroom_power

Step3 - Define a template sensor summing all the power values

sensor:
  - platform: template
    sensors:
      all_light_power:
        friendly_name: All light power
        unit_of_measurement: W
        icon_template: mdi:transmission-tower
        value_template: >
          {{ expand('group.all_light_power') 
          | rejectattr('state', 'in', ['unavailable', 'unknown'])
          | map(attribute='state') | map('float') | sum | round(2) }}

When you add a new light you only need to add this to the powercalc integration and the group.

Thank you very much! That was I what looking for.

I have succesfully setup this sensor for all my lights. I included the Energy sensors instead of the Power sensors as I would like to see the total kWh. I can see the total kWh under entities.
However I am unable to add this sensor in de Energy dashboard at Individual Devices.
What do I need to change so I can add it to the Energy dashboard?
