Solar production doesn't appear

Open johanvh83 opened this issue 4 years ago • 4 comments

Installed the integration. Got all attributes but I'm wondering where to find the actual solar production in kW from the Solar panels. Also other actual data like batterij charge/discharge in kW, load and grid in kW. This data is available in FusionSolar from Huawei but in HA and the energy platform all data is in kWh.

The actual production in kW is the state of the sensor. There are also sensors for the battery power (kW) and accumulated energy for the batteries and panels (kWh).

I think HA energy dashboard uses kWh because using power does only work correctly if you can sample all (power in, power out, production power and storage in/out power) at the exactly the same time. If you have different devices for this, this isn't really feasible. This isn't really an issue if you use the energy sensors.

Ok. thanks for your answer

Home assistant energy panel is meant to work with energy (KWh). If you want to have power flows in W (for kW you should create templates dividing by 1000) you should manually configure some specific card in a dashboard like: tesla-style-solar-power-card power distribution card power wheel card or some other out there in HACS

@JacoboSanchez thanks for your answer and the links to the specific cards.
