emonTX power data into the Energy Dashboard

[brucemiranda]

I have an OpenEnergyMonitor emonTX which gives me power value in Watts for Solar Power, Consumption Power (and Diverted Power but that is not important for the moment).
OpenEnergyMonitor have made a decision that +ve values of Consumption Power mean that I am importing from the Grid. -ve values of Consumption Power mean that I am exporting to the Grid.
When I am importing power, the amount of power imported from the Grid is the difference between my Solar Power and the Consumption Power values.
When I am exporting power, the amount of power exported is the negative number detected as Consumption Power.

In HA I am already using the Reimann Sum integration to get from the W values sent by emonTX to the kWh values.

So I have a Solar kWh and a Consumption kWh sensors.

I have no idea how things will work with -ve Consumption power values.

And how do I use these sensors in the Energy Dashboard.

I found this and am going to try this out.

Allow negative power & energy in energy dashboard

Hey have you had anymore luck? I’ve recently went on a journey as my situation is somewhat similar to yours. My CT Clamps read positive when energy is flowing from the grid, and they go negative when feeding the grid. So I did this: - platform: template sensors: # Negative values only - if not negative return 0, otherwise provide "Return to Grid" Value house_energy_negative: unique_id: house_energy_negative unit_of_measurement: 'W' value_template: > {% if sta…
