I’m struggling with configuration.yaml, I can’t add an entity that will be accepted by the battery storage in energy dashboard.
I have a small off grid setup. It’s a combo inverter+charger with AC fallback unit (so when batteries run out of juice it switches to AC), so there is only 1 battery connection, no in and out and the energy dashboard requires both; will it work?
I made myself a MQTT power/energy meters, the meter sends data from the sensor via JSON to NodeRed that then sends the data into InfluxDB.
JSON Structure:
{"B-V":25.76836,"B-I":-7.645916,"B-W":-196.6761,"B-E":-0.354719,"B-S":93,"S-V":28,"S-I":7.750885,"S-W":217.6576,"S-E":0.390405,"A1-V":0,"A1-I":0,"A1-W":0,"A1-E":0,"A1-F":0,"A1-P":0,"A2-V":225.7025,"A2-I":0,"A2-W":0,"A2-E":0.224,"A2-F":49.98183,"A2-P":0,"RSSI":-70.87584}
Where B- is battery, S- are solar panels, A1- is AC in and A2 is AC out. All energy statistics reset at 00:00.
My configuration.yaml, what should I change/add?
