[BUG] line incorrect when charging battery from grid, no solar.

[soniiic]

Describe the bug Charging the battery from the grid shows energy going from grid to load instead of grid to battery.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Force charge battery

Expected behavior Line should go from grid to load AND grid to battery

Hi,

I am also facing the same bug:

https://github.com/flixlix/power-flow-card-plus/assets/113230724/68a98536-fe00-402d-964a-53e64799855e

For me it never activates the line going to the battery when charging from solar. I'm not using the "Display zero tolerance"

[deqw]

I think that first you should have the sensor that represents the correct value of power coming from the grid going into the battery and vv. But how to distinguish which part of the total grid power that is? And at daytime when there is solar power going into the battery as well? Using solaredge-modbus-multi myself I don't see the sensors needed to make a correct calculation. Maybe someone else is able to shine a light on this subject?

I have a Tesla Powerwall and just noticed this exact scenario happening when using the default Tesla Powerwall sensors for this card. When the batteries charge from the grid, it's showing a line from the grid to the house, but not to the batteries. However, the bottom number indicates that the batteries are charging despite the missing line.

Here's a visual right now where the two entities are not connected.

Here's my configuration (UPDATE _ for some reason entering this as code is not maintaining the spacing...):

Update 2 - however, it appears if there is solar generation at the same time, the line between the grid and battery appears when actively charging.

And if you let it go for a while?

[deqw]

The difference in the pictures above is the solar input. To test I set the inverter Power Limit to 0% to disable solar input and after a few seconds the flow line from grid to the battery disappears.

[ziptbm]

Anyone find a workaround?

I've started messing with creating new sensors to separate out the battery sensor from Powerwall into two, but I've only so far been able to show it sending power the wrong direction from the battery to the house, when in fact it's charging from the grid. I'm missing something here.

Odd,

I have a great line going from grid to battery when charging.

Could it be that my sensors are coming from a Tesla Powerwall and that's why I'm only seeing Grid to Battery WHEN there's solar production?
