Your sensor names are:
These sensors are the ones you use in your automations.
My sensor names are:
sensor.power_import
sensor.power_export
Just update the sensor names from mine to yours.
For your Energy Dashboard, you can use these
Import = Grid Consumption
Export = Return to Grid

Oh right so just the names are different
Grid Import Power to your sensor.power_import
Grid Export Power to sensor.power_export
So I just need to substitute with my sensor names, got it
The energy Dash you are referring to is the HA one right? Already have the Dash configured
thanks for the help
Once the new heat pump is in I will have it setup with automatons. Cant wait…

Hey guys! I found an issue with my data reporting here
When the day ticks over, the production doesn’t start at zero, instead it starts at 3.54kWh. Is there anything I can do to fix this? Here’s my energy dashboard
Any help would be appreciated to balance this out. Dunno why it’s doing this, it happened after my Envoy firmware got updated to the latest version.

Just checked mine, and the “Energy production today” value is reset to 0 at midnight.

not resetting to 0 can be worked around by setting up an integration sensor to record power over time into an energy figure.
hmmm, how would i do that? could you give any pointers? Thank you!

Sure, I just wrote about how this works in another topic.
An example of what Riemann sum integral is used for is for recording the instantanous power figures in W and converting them to energy figures in kW .
If I turn on an electrical device that steadily consumes 1030 W and leave that device on for an hour, then that device has consumed 1.03 kWh over the course of an hour.
Power in W - real world example
Riemann sum integral then incrementally records how much power the device consumed each time the power sensor updates and graphs those samples over time.
Energy in kWh - real world example generated by Riemann sum integral using only the power sensor above as the data input source.
Energy Dashboard basically samples the Lifetime Energy Value at both the start and end of each hour and records only the difference.

How Energy Dashboard presents this same data.

how would i do that
As for how you would do it, you would find the name of your solar power production sensor and use that in the “Input Sensor:” field.
My only warning would be to make sure your power sensor is in W (Watts) as Riemann sum integral seems to only work when I use a sensor expressed in W (Watts) in my experience.
Go to settings
Devices and services

Integration - Riemann sum integral sensor
Add Riemann sum integral sensor
Name: Energy Production
Input Sensor: Power Production
Integration Method: Right Riemann Sum
Precision: 3 is default
Metric Prefix: k (kilo)
Time Unit: Hours
Edit, I just tried it without specifying the metric prefix, and it will work with whatever source metric you are using.
The issue is, once you click on a metric prefix, you cannot seem to unclick it in the GUI.
If you mess this up, you can correct it in Developer tools
I was wondering if someone could help me. I believe I have everything right, but my import energy doesn’t seem to be working.
Here is code from my configuration.yaml
template:
- sensor:
name: Grid Import Power
state_class: measurement
icon: mdi:transmission-tower
unit_of_measurement: W
device_class: power
state: >
{{ [0, states('sensor.envoy_121804003802_current_power_consumption') | int(0) - states('sensor.envoy_121804003802_current_power_production') | int(0) ] | max }}
- sensor:
name: Grid Export Power
state_class: measurement
icon: mdi:transmission-tower
unit_of_measurement: W
device_class: power
state: >
{{ [0, states('sensor.envoy_121804003802_current_power_production') | int(0) - states('sensor.envoy_121804003802_current_power_consumption') | int(0) ] | max }}
sensor:
- platform: integration
name: Grid Import Energy
source: sensor.grid_import_power
unit_prefix: k
unit_time: h
method: left
- platform: integration
name: Grid Export Energy
source: sensor.grid_export_power
unit_prefix: k
unit_time: h
method: left
This is the entities added to the energy dashboard
Perhaps it’s just taking time? as I haven’t imported any energy yet
Don’t worry, human error, all working

so… I was playing with the way it shows me all this info. I wanted to incorporate the energy distribution for the day on the top right. At the moment its just a duplicated live usage powerflow card entity. Any thoughts?

Like this?
Here is my code
cards:
- type: custom:power-flow-card-plus
entities:
grid:
entity: sensor.power_net
solar:
entity: sensor.power_production
home:
entity: sensor.power_consumption
fossil_fuel_percentage:
entity: sensor.grid_fossil_fuel_percentage
- type: energy-distribution

Thanks much appreciated.
Hmm I added that to a card and I was getting errors.
I didnt have the sensor.power_consumption instead used sensor.envoy_XXXXXXXXXX_current_power_consumption
Also I had to move this to the left and remove the "- "
- type: energy-distribution
Need to wait until it loads info, but will post it after it does.

Hi,
Either create a new view or edit an existing view and press the pencil icon.
Then press the 3 dots in top right and press edit in yaml
Then paste in the code
The - type:
is used for each card in the page
The other method is to press add card, choose manual, paste in type: energy-distribution

Got it working. Top right
Any reason the Grid Export and solar info does not match? Seems off significantly

Energy Dashboard updates once every hour.
Enphase enlighten cloud updates every 15 mins.
Your sensors in home assistant update every minute if using the native enphase integration.
I use the sensors to create power and energy graphs like this

No, just history graph built into home assistant. I put them all into the same history graph and home assistant draws a different graph for each metric type (W, kW, kWh, $)

Oh right. I have only one rate, no peak or off peak. I just added this.
Any way to define what the start time?
Also would have loved to see ability to do on the fly change of view to see breakdown last 2 to 8 hours progressively.

Thanks. I am currently having issues with Apex chart and memory leak in firefox. Dam thing crashes, so using Edge which is also blowing up in memory usage.
