I don’t actually understand what is wrong? What is not working?
what is not working is :
- I have a negative value
- it doesnt show the house consumption
- no production on solar pannel when they are producing
- no info about energy exported
- no ingo about energy imported
I really want to say you thank you for your time
I think this is because of my sensor code… it looks like text in green :
I changed for power card, much easier to parameter… thanks again!
I’m not sure your sensors.yaml is configured correctly.
How is it included in configuration.yaml? as a package or like sensor: !include sensors.yaml
Hola, yes it does, but finally change for other intégration 
Hi all.
Is there a way to resize this card? I have tried using CardMod to size the card, but that doesn’t make the text/graphics scale, and so they just run off the sides of the card.
Thanks for any suggestions!

Who can help me out ?
I have a huawei inverter and battery.
For this card all values need to be positve. But my battery uses the same sensor ( [sensor.battery_charge_discharge_power] ) for battery discharging and charging. The valua gets positive when charging and negative when discharging.
Use some templates with min, max and abs functions to make two new sensors, one for charging one for charging.
i’m not so good in this. This is what i made so far. Don’t know if it’s correct like this.

Not quite sure which parts exactly are working or not working for you now. However, from reading your previous post you say that all values need to be positive, so I guess that at least your “from battery to house” sensor is not giving you the expected value?
Adding an abs filters makes the negative sensor value a positive number:
Thanks for your answer.
All my readings are wrong now. 
Can you see what’s wrong in my configuration?

Sorry, that configuration is really hard to read when not formatted correctly.
Previously you have only explained what sensor sensor.battery_charge_discharge_power does (positive when charging and negative when discharging), but I have no idea what any of these other sensors do that you are using in your template expressions.
I am assuming that you are deriving those sensor values from things like the battery, solar inverter, etc. So, do you know the behaviour of each of those devices and what they report in each situation? That’s how I would approach this to then determine how my template sensors should process that data to use it in this card.
I’ve send you a pm.
I’ve exactly the same issue. Did you solve it already?
How can this be? I’ve deleted the line house_consumption_entity: sensor.house_consumption.
And still the value is there in the balloon of the house.
Hi there, I remember there was a discussion going on about units being off by a factor of 10. I got the same problem and I cannot figure it out. Rest is working.
Is there any theory floating around?
Hi,
is it possible to have more than two additional consumption values (e.g. Car1, Car2, Car3, Car4, …) in this card ?
You can set up the two additional appliances one above (notionally the car) the house icon and one below.
Do you could do car 1 & car 2 this fashion, there are two text boxes in each circle.
Or you could use some templates and group a number of entities or maybe have car1, car2 values in the top appliance numbers and car3, car4 in the bottom appliance numbers.
Hey, the question has already been asked above but not yet answered: is there a way to modify the size of the card ? I have included this card on the dashboard I display on a small Android tablet and this card is taking up too much screen estate. I’d love to be able to give a scaling factor as parameter.
