I don’t understand - the Fronius data will reflect this.
I just put the total energy measurements in to the dashboard instead, it seems to be able to work out the daily figures without using the utility_meter anyway.
For grid consumption use sensor.energy_real_consumed_fronius_meter_0_http_solar
For grid return use sensor.energy_real_produced_fronius_meter_0_http_solar
For solar generation use sensor.energy_total_fronius_inverter_1_http_solar
Hi, looking at the electricityMap and our coal loving government around here (NSW Australia) we will never show up as green energy on that map. But individually people can opt to consume green energy. Is there a way to force the nice green leaf to show up in the dashboard?
Yes, I have this working fine with Fronius inverter (for solar generation) + Smart Meter (for grid consumption and feed in).
From the Energy Configuration page I set the required inputs to the following sensors:
Thanks, yes, several of the Fronius sensors give very similar, but subtly-different, values. ‘real_ac_minus’ gave me the closest to what the Fronius’ own app was giving in initial testing, so I’m going with that for now. (I’ll continue tracking against what the values are in my actual electricity bills over the longer term and pick which ever gives the best long-term match).
I have a sensor sensor.energy_reactive_ac_produced_fronius_meter_0_http_solar which is reporting a massive value that appears to be complete nonsense. It’s value is 48MWh, even though I have only generated 14MWh total.
For everyone that gets 0 kWh at the sources page sensors (while the sensor itself does have the correct value in Dev Tools states) and thinks they have the right sensors (with attributes) selected:
Check if you didn’t excluded this sensors from your recorder! (turned out to be my problem )
The green leaf is probably more aimed at people who don’t care/know where their electricity is coming from, and are now getting a bit of a reality check. If you - like me - have opted for carbon neutral energy, then the green leaf is just decoration.
Does the platform: integration automatically convert W to kWh? Because I have a lot of measurement devices (smart sockets, but also all my light modules measure power) so I could use this to integrate everything in the energy dashboard.
How did you integrate your Fronius inverter? I only get “no matching statistics found”. My fronius sensors work perfectly but they don’t show up in the new energy configuration
