Hey guys
I’m totally new to HA and I’m trying out my instance. I have a question a about the Energy distribution card. I configured everything and it work great with my SolarEdge inverter, it runs locally and pulls the data via ModBusTCP, now the question is can this card that show a lovely animation of the system show current power? I see the the energy and it matches up nicely with the SolarEdge app. I do have a sepperate tab called “Now” but I see a graph off power throughout the day.
Thank you
So you have the correct data and your question is how to create a pretty dashboard to display it?
as far as I know, the default energy distribution card is only able to show energy (kWh, cumulative watts), rather than power (kW, instantaneous watts).
In general the energy values are preferred because that is what you actually pay for at the end of the day, but there are third party cards that look the same but show power in watts, and some others that combine them in different ways.
Personally, I just have a custom dashboard with the stock energy card then some gauges and graphs for Power and other stats.
If you want to play with something much more powerful, have a look at what is possible with https://github.com/slipx06/Sunsynk-Power-Flow-Card
