Four Problems with the Energy Dashboard

Configuration Frontend
1

Hello,
I’m having several issues with the Energy Dashboard that I can’t seem to resolve, and I’m hoping to get some help here. I realize that my problems are related to my complex setup, so I’ll describe that first.

• I live in a house with three separate living units.
• From the utility grid, I have a main meter from the utility provider that logs data in Home Assistant via EDL21.
• Connected in parallel downstream are two Sungrow inverters (an SH10RT with an SBR096 battery and an SH15T with an SHB100 battery) and a sub-meter (Wallbox). The "Wallbox" sub-meter is currently only pre-wired, so no consumption is taking place at this time.
• The metering point for the inverters (Sungrow iHomeManager) is located directly behind the main meter (i.e., before the inverters and the single sub-meter).
• All loads are connected to the backup port of the SH15T (inv2) inverter.
• From there, the signal is routed to four additional sub-meters for the individual load circuits (General, Ground Floor, 1st Floor, and 2nd Floor).
The inverters are integrated into Home Assistant via Modbus using the MKaiser framework (GitHub - mkaiser/Sungrow-SHx-Inverter-Modbus-Home-Assistant: Home Assistant integration for Sungrow inverters: SH*RT series (SH10RT), SHx.RS series (SH3.RS), SH*K series (SH4K6), SxT-series (S20T) · GitHub).
• The sub-meters are connected to Home Assistant via their S0 interface, connected to Home Assistant using special hardware for MQTT integration.

All devices are recognized properly, and there are no error messages in the log. All devices also appear in the Energy Dashboard. Unfortunately, I’m having four issues.

Since, as a newcomer, I can only attach one image at a time, I’ll post my issues one by one below this explanation.

As you can see in the screenshots, I'm using the German language environment. I hope my English-speaking colleagues can understand my issues and help me out. I can handle replies in German or English, but unfortunately not in other languages. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask; I'll be happy to answer them.

First Problem

Since updating to version 2026.5.0, I no longer see any feed-in. It is displayed as "unrecorded consumption".

The update to 2026.5.1 hasn't solve the problem. Now, i even don't see the "unrecorded consumption" at every hour, sometimes the whole feed in consumption is shown at one hour a day, at different times.

Did i have a corrupt database?

Second Problem

Before the update, I could see the feed-in data, but there was also "unrecorded consumption" listed there, sometimes even with negative values. If the consumption were only positive, I would assume it was consumption by the inverters. But when the values are negative, I have no idea what it could be, other than measurement errors. Does anyone have a better explanation?

Third Problem

I'm still having trouble getting the current consumption displayed correctly. It's shown "on top" of my PV generation:

As long as there is no PV generation, the values are correct based on consumption. I used the consumption value from the backup port (sensor.total_backup_power_inv2) as the sensor. The Sensor Data ar correct (proofed).

Fourth Problem

When configuring the Energy Dashboard, I can't select the "upstream device". Neither the main meter nor my inverters appear there. To create a proper configuration, I would have to specify the main meter in the "upstream device" field for the Wallbox sub-meter and the inverters, and the corresponding inverter for the other four sub-meters. Why is it that the devices through which the electricity is supplied are missing from the selection? I think that's wrong.

Am I right? Can I change that?
