Subject: Assistance with Energy Tab Setup in Home Assistant
Hi,
I want to start by saying that I’m new to Home Assistant and home automation in general. I’ve been trying to set up the energy tab, but I’m struggling to get it working properly. For some reason, the Enphase system is reporting electricity production values that are consistently between 0 and 0.2.
I’ve searched the forums for solutions, but I’m still unable to resolve this issue. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you!
Enphase Software Version: D8.2.4264 (882efd)
Entities
Grid consumption: Envoy serialnumber Lifetime net energy consumption
Return to grid: Envoy serialnumber Lifetime net energy production
Solar production: Envoy serialnumber Energy production today
I use sensor.envoy_SERIAL#_lifetime_energy_production for the solar production; I’ve been told that the ‘today’ values are a hit & miss sometimes.
Not sure about the lifetime_net_production and lifetime_net_consumption values either - I have a non-Enphase battery and between charging the battery and feeding back to the grid, those values don’t make any sense for my setup.
Hi @oramospt, for the energy dashboard solar production entity for envoy best use the Envoy serialnumber Lifetime Energy production entity. We’ve seen multiple reports that the day value behaves unexpected, including not resetting to zero, late reset to zero and unexpected values. These are the miss & hit @chairstacker is referring to.
The energy dashboard will work fine with the lifetime value. Simply change it in the energy dashboard setup and you should be ok.
Clarification:
It’s not just the net part of the sensors that causes issues in my situation, the _lifetime_energy_consumption sensor shows this behaviour since mid-December last year:
