wait, I missed that, do we need to set anything or is it truly automatic.
For mobile I am still using a view with a hacked Swiper card config,
- type: custom:state-switch
entity: mediaquery
states:
'(min-width: 800px)':
!include /config/dashboard/includes/include_sankey_energie.yaml
all:
type: custom:swipe-card
card_width: 200%
parameters:
grabCursor: false
allowTouchMove: true
slidesPerView: auto
freeMode: true
preventInteractionOnTransition: false
spaceBetween: 0
scrollbar:
hide: false
draggable: false
snapOnRelease: false
cards:
- !include /config/dashboard/includes/include_sankey_energie.yaml
and automatic vertical might just solve it for me too
Edit
Right: automatic
Though it’s a bit odd/off
And changing to landscape makes it even worse

Sounds good … tried to adapt this but there is a problem with the parent_state if I use battery power.
how can I add the battery power for a source next to solar and grid

Using the sankey chart component since a couple of days. Very powerfull tool!
Having issues with my ‘house’ sensor. It’s simply not showing, but the
sensor has a value. Therefore there are also no flows going to the appliances.
Both the PV and Grid output (shown) should go to ‘House’ (missing) and then to appliances on the right side (shown). The PV Export is shown and is also a similar sensor as sensor.daily_energy_usage_total .
What am I missing?

Sensors should have a proper state_class in order for statistics to work. Most commonly state_class: total. See Sensor Entity | Home Assistant Developer Docs
Don’t know what else it could be
I just realized now, I think after installing version 3.0 a few days ago, that the ‘remaining’ are no longer being shown to me.
Reading the documentation, I saw that ‘remaining’ should be replaced with ‘remaining_parent_state’ if I understood correctly. However, I can’t seem to find the correct syntax, and the code is throwing an error.
This is the code that previously worked correctly:

In version 3.0.0 it appears like this, the data is correct but there are many intersections on the lines:

At a glance, I think the sort order on each layer is different…
You used group by parent? Not sure how that’s supposed to work out but it sure looks like it’s doing either as or desc and ignoring that. try a different sort and see if that moves things around - if so clarify that group by parent is working as you expect/require Maybe it was working incorrectly and got ‘fixed’ or it broke in the 3.0 update (if it’s not working as desired open a bug - mindfreeze is incredibly responsive)
I’ve already tried to modify the group by part but I can’t achieve the correct result.
I am now trying to open an issue on GitHub, as you suggested.
@ma9mwah do you have a list of the entity names that you summed up to create your various summed entities?
I have a Hybrid Gen 3 5.0kW with 2 batteries, but I don’t see any entities that provide data such as Grid to Battery, Grid to House, Solar to Grid, etc
I have plenty of other entities from the integration, like Battery Discharge Today, PV Energy Today, and so on, but none that break down the various X to Y routes that you describe from yours.
If your inverter doesn’t keep track of these you may need to do it yourself using template sensors and integrations.
You would use the power measurements to add/minus grid/battery/solar/home to have single sensors for each of:
Solar to Home
Solar to Battery
solar to Grid
grid to battery,
grid to home
battery to grid
battery to home
Then you would use the integration sensor (use ‘left’) to measure the total energy in each.

@MindFreeze Many thanks for this incredible useful card. It’s an eye-opener for people in my household
@all
I would like to propose an improvement which would make it least my life a little easier when it comes to add entities to the sankey chart card.
Currently there are parent entities and their children defined, here an example for appliances and its children dryer and fridge:
- entities:
- type: entity
children:
- sensor.dryer_power
- sensor.fridge_power
entity_id: sensor.appliances_power
name: Appliances
color: purple
- entities:
- type: entity
entity_id: sensor.dryer_power
name: Dryer
color: purple
- type: entity
entity_id: sensor.fridge_power
name: Fridge
color: purple
If I want to add an entity, let’s say the dishwasher, I have to do it in two areas.
At the parent :
- entities:
- type: entity
children:
- sensor.dryer_power
- sensor.fridge_power
- sensor.dishwasher_power
entity_id: sensor.appliances_power
name: Appliances
color: purple
And add the child :
- type: entity
entity_id: sensor.dishwasher_power
name: Dishwasher
color: purple
Problem
It happens sometimes to me, that I forget to extend the list of children of the parent when I add a child.
Proposal
So, what about changing the definition of the relationship by adding the parent to the child entity:
- entities:
- type: entity
entity_id: sensor.appliances_power
name: Appliances
color: purple
- entities:
- type: entity
entity_id: sensor.dryer_power
name: Dryer
parent: sensor.appliances_power
color: purple
- type: entity
entity_id: sensor.fridge_power
name: Fridge
parent: sensor.appliances_power
color: purple
when I now add the dishwasher I need to do it only at one place:
- type: entity
entity_id: sensor.dishwasher_power
name: Dishwasher
parent: sensor.appliances_power
color: purple
What do you think?
If it makes sense I am happy to create a related issue on Github.

It makes sense, I guess. But I don’t want to maintain 2 ways to define this and the new way would be a breaking change. I will consider it next time I am introducing breaking changes but it won’t be soon.
