I’ve found a code snippet to setup a custom logging into the database.
I setup recorder:
# recorder
db_url: !secret recorder_maria_db
purge_keep_days: 7
include:
entity_globs:
- sensor.energy_*
- sensor.fritz_box_7690_*
- sensor.pv_*
- sensor.solakon_*
- sensor.user_log
I defined this template in template.yaml:
# TRIGGER-BASIERTER LOG-SENSOR
- trigger:
- platform: event
event_type: custom_log
sensor:
- name: "User Log"
unique_id: sensor.user_log
state: "{{ trigger.event.data.message }}"
attributes:
channel: "{{ trigger.event.data.channel }}"
level: "{{ trigger.event.data.level }}"
timestamp: "{{ now().isoformat() }}"
And basically it works:
Unfortunately, it doesn’t work reliably.
I’m working on automation for Solakon One.
Some logs are recorded correctly, others are not, even though the branches are processed correctly.
The project is not yet complete. So far, only the first two modes have been implemented.
The image shows that the switch to PV protect mode was logged, but the log from lines 237 onwards should also have appeared, as the switch from 600 W to 0 also took place.
