Hi
I am new here since a couple of weeks … and I hope someone can help me out understanding on how home assistant operates.
I want to create a simple automation for my solar panels (controlled by a SMA inverter).
The system and its ‘device’ was easily recognized by the ‘SMA solar’ Integration script.
I would like now to get a warning (for example my ikea tradfri bulb turns red) if the inverter is in fault / error / defective … in other words, if its status is no longer ‘OK’
The device has about 38 entities … but I noticed that only a limit number of them are available as trigger in the automations section. But the ‘status’ of my inverter is a not available there.
I already noticed here … that the ‘status’ entity is not ‘disabled’ by the integration:
Indeed, the status of the system in the garden shows well in the dashboard …
Why is then not available as condition or trigger ?
Will I have to dive into YAML code to make this automation ?
Thanks in advance for your help.
