Energy dashboard - howto show new cards like "self-sufficiency"?

Configuration Frontend

Hello,
I am now using HA since a longer time and have the energy dashboard setup. Now in 2023.07 the self-sufficiency gauge card came up. I can add this to any self-configured dashboard…
But I dont see it in the standard energy dashboard… How can I make the card appear on that dashboard?

Thanks, regards,
André

Ok, probably I need to be more specific… The self-sufficiency gauge works fine if I setup the dashboard manually… But I cannot make it appear in the energy dashboard (standard).

For now I have:

  • sensor to measure consumption from grid (pos and negative can be measured)
  • sensor to measure solar production

self-sufficiency should be basically considering the ratio between solar production and overall energy. THis is already shown inthe energy dashboard via energy flow.

I can now add:
type: energy-self-sufficiency-gauge
to a manual created dashboard → it works fine.

If I go to the “energy” item on the menu on the left - it doesnt show up. See pictures below - the “self-sufficiency” gauge is the one showing “30%”.

No. Self sufficiency is the ratio of grid import to export. You have no grid export sensor, thus it can not be calculated.

Got it - thanks.
I was just wondering that the card produces an output if you place it in another dashboard…

Thanks!!!

I can’t read the untranslated gauge titles. Are you perhaps confusing the self consumed solar gauge with the self sufficiency gauge?

Actually i dont think so. I want to use the self-sufficiency gauge - at least i used that type:
Type: energy-self-sufficiency-gauge

In the manually created dashboard it is active and shows a value. And in the standard energy dashboard it is not visible - how can i make it appear in that dashboard was the question.

You need a return to grid sensor. The calculation is based on export vs import. You have no export sensor.

I can’t explain why it shows anything when you add it to your dashboard manually.

Ok, my grid sensor already sums up import and export. I need to split it up then… will try to do so by summing up only positive and negative values :-).

Thanks. I guess this is closed then

Thanks for your help, I added the according energy sensor (Actually it was already provided by my Shelly EM3) - and now the dashboard shows all gauges :-). Perfect!
