Thank you. Clearing the browser caches didn’t work. I still don’t see the new gauges on the energy panel. Maybe there is another reason.
Did you actually upgrade?
It may have failed. Check Settings → About.
I am also missing the new gauges despite having cleared the cache several times and can confirm version 2023.7.1 is installed.
I did upgrade. I have a docker setup on Raspberry Pi where I have to manually change the tag. “About” also shows that I’m on 2023.7.1.
I’m guessing that somehow the power sensor is not recognized by HA. I was only able to add the total energy in kWh produced sensor when setting up the solar inverter.
I’m using OpenDTU btw as the source of the data.
The energy dashboard does not use power sensors. Only energy sensors. Two different things.
I used the total energy produced sensor (in kWh) as a source for the energy dashboard. I thought that a power sensor is needed for the new gauges. Apparently that is not correct.
In that case I should see the new gauges then?
Do you have solar panels? Do you know your grid consumption? Do you know how much you return to the grid?
You don’t have a return to grid sensor.
Therefore it is impossible to calculate the self sufficiency value (grid import vs export).
You need return to grid
Edit: Tom beat me
Ohhh. That makes sense, I think. Mystery solved then .
I’ve just switched my HA Container install to the recommended ghcr.io image as noted in the release notes.
Given the release notes
As of this release, we no longer publish our intermediate platform images to DockerHub. This means that if you are using these images, you will no longer receive updates. Please use the above-listed images instead.
it would be useful if the version integration checked ghcr.io rather than DockerHub.
Happy to raise an issue if that’s the appropriate thing to do?
I figured that out on accident and now I’m wondering if I could remove the Energy Section from the sidebar. Permanently, not just from one browser using the “Change the order and hide items from the sidebar” option in the menu of the logged in user.
Any ideas?
thanks
Hello, yes you are right, if you use the switch for the LEDs it works, but if you turn it off it then turns on in home assistant again but the hyperion instance does not. The communication is not yet as it was. I restore back to the previous version and I will try after further updates.
I am not happy with the performance yet…
Remove the default configuration integration from your configuration.yaml file and add ALL the ones from this list you do want to keep:
Then restart home assistant.
You will also have to manually add any new default integrations included in future releases that you want to use.
That’s something I won’t keep up with. I’m usually two months behind at least already! Hehehe.
Seems a bit strange to force it in the sidebar since having a solar array is still pretty low adoption for the majority of the populous. I do remove it the way I said above, but each time I clear the cache or similar there it is again. Annoying is all.
Would be nice to have a system wide toggle for things such as this showing in the sidebar.
thanks for the info
I guess it depends where you live. It is extremely prevalent here (Australia).
I live on the other side of the world with all the clouds.
If you actually do the math from the door to door solar salesmen you will lost money going with them. Some of them don’t even sell you the system…you rent it from them, but it is still their property and in some places you can’t sell any energy back to the grid or if you can it is at such a reduced rate (like you pay $0.15/kwh, but they pay you $0.02/kwh) it cost you money to have the panels on your house. Some people don’t realize that and end up going that route, but solar isn’t common at all around me.
With a smart meter and a (cheap) dongle for the meter you can feed electricity conumption data into Home Assisstant with very little effort. The panel is therefore not only useful for users who produce electricity with pv. I have been using the energy panel for many months like that before I got my small solar installation.
SInce upgrade to 2023.7 my Hyperion integration stopped working. I mean, it works but my led strip does not respond to it. I have to turn them on and off via te Hyperion dasboard.
