Hi
I am sure this has been discussed many times but when setting up the energy dashboard it has various entities for total usage for historical data but it does not show my current useage i.e. solar or battery.
I guess I am doing something wrong !
Well the Energy dashboard does not plot live views. It plots the values just every full hour.
For live views use Power Flow Card Plus for example.
Thank you for that info, very useful.
Something else you maybe able to help with… on the power flow card plus, I have two sources of solar, I have put the first one on solar and used the second entity for the other, however it only shows the solar being used, the second entity is there but it is not used in my consumption… any ideas?
I am not sure what you mean with the second entity how it is not used.
In my case I used some helpers for that.
In the Developertools (Entwicklerwerkzeuge) under Template you can test formulas. There you can program your two entities so that it calculates the sum of these two. And that formula needs copied into a new helper, template, sensor. Then give it a name and next line is then where you copy the formula into. And then in the flow card you select this one helper as the solar source.
One example for the template:
{{(float(states("sensor.your-entity1"))
+ (float(states("sensor.your-entity2")))) | round(1) }}
That adds your two entities into one. After you type sensor. it suggests the available entities. and if you type further it shrinks the available entities.
Hope that helps.
I think he means secondary info.
You need to create a template sensor to sum both. The cards doesnt do that automatically.
For the sum use the code chopper wrote
