2021.8.0: Feel the energy ⚡️

Blog
337

I’ve been pulling my hair out trying to get my Fronius data to make sense - can anyone shed some light?

I seem to only be able to get 2 energy readings from the Fronius integration - one is PV generation, and the other is home consumption (ie regardless of whether it is from the grid or self-generation).

Obviously, it’s possible to calculate energy to/from grid if you know those two things, but that doesn’t seem to be happening with my setup.
Do some of you have separate CT clamps measuring each instead of total consumption?

I’ve tried messing about with scope / device numbers but it doesn’t seem to change anything.

  - platform: fronius
    resource: http://10.1.1.175
    monitored_conditions:
    - sensor_type: inverter
      device: 1
    - sensor_type: meter
      scope: device
    - sensor_type: power_flow

Any ideas?

I’ve got the same problem this morning after upgrading to 2021.8.6. Your workaround did help, thanks!

My Fronius meter is at the feed-in point (i.e. in the switchboard directly after my utility meter). Is yours? And in the Inverter is it configured as such? There should be a value for all those sensors, to me it seems like yours is configured as a consumption meter?

Thanks for checking in - mine is configured with location as “Consumption Path” - so sounds like you’re on the right track.

I’ve just changed it to “Feed-in point” and will see if that makes any sense.

As long as that is actually where your meter is installed, otherwise the numbers aren’t going to be accurate :slight_smile:

I have the same Fronius options and have everything working fine with the set up posted here:

From the Energy Configuration page I set the required inputs to the following sensors:

[Electricity grid] (requires Smart Meter):
Grid consumption: sensor.energy_real_consumed_fronius_meter_...
Return to grid: sensor.energy_real_ac_minus_fronius_meter_... (or use ..real-produced.. instead)

[Solar panels] (from inverter)
Solar production: sensor.energy_total_fronius_inverter_...

These sensors all provide cumulative totals of energy flows (as required, which the new UI cards process to generate their required output values).

I’m using the ‘standard’ Fronius platform sensor.

It’s a very welcome addition for tracking energy use:
HA_Energy_small

Thanks - Looking forward to mine working like that…

I’ll find out tomorrow when the sun comes up, but I suspect I might need to move the CT clamp, and change the datamanager config to match.

If my clamp is on the house side of the inverter rather than the meter side - that would explain why I have 0s in one direction…

Had the same problem upgrading to 2021.8.6. Your solution helped. Thanks a lot!.
Probably it is good to mention that cached .pyc file needs to be erased.

345

Thanks for posting! To be sure: this is with core Z-waveJs add-on and integration ?

346

Are all 30 tones available ? Have you just disabled them ?

347

After a factory reset a renewed include now shows me more than before, but not all sounds yet;

And a few hidden by default:

Ditto, saw this on first update to 2021.8.6 but another restart of HA fixed it.

Today i open the app an there is a firmware update

did you find a solution. I installed the 2021.8 version 7 hours ago and still no cost showing. (0€ everywhere)

351

Just the 8 as displayed, there are no disabled tones I can find.

352

What’s the domain, light?

353

Have you added the {device}_cost to the Recorder?

354

Z-Wave JS Integration and Z-Wave JS to MQTT add-on.

355

what always helps, is plugging it correctly… :roll_eyes:

356

yeelight:

the last version 2021.6.6 work. “support features: 47” vs 44 is the only diff i can see
