The “resource” is wrong. It should be like this (the documentation is confusing on this part):
resource: http://192.168.0.196
And the core integration does work…I tried it a few days ago just to see how it compares to the other integration by @safepay, which I am running 24/7 without major issues. And they have also changed the core integration so that it now publishes all readings as individual sensors and not as attributes.
@nilrog Thanks for clearing that up. If that’s the case though then the documentation needs to be updated as it is definitely unclear the way it is now. Fronius - Home Assistant
resource
(string)(Required)
The IP address of the Fronius device
OR
sensor:
- platform: fronius
resource: FRONIUS_IP_ADDRESS
OR
sensor:
- platform: fronius
resource: FRONIUS_URL
Well I guess the core integration would work given the correct configuration information.
For the effort to switch to the core integration now I really can’t see the point atm.
If it ever breaks maybe I will.
@nilrog. Thanks for the advice on prefixing http:// It was about the only thing I didn’t try!
I have it working now - however all of the measurements are in Watts. Do you know how I can display results in kW and kWh? The following commands don’t pass the config test.
power_units: W
units: kWh
Also some of the results have 10+ decimal points. How do you round them off?
@Delbz The core fronius integration is not as customisable as @safepay custom component at the moment. You could modify the sensors using template sensors
OK - Cheers! I will swap back.
not meant to be as publicity, however I see some analogies between your GUI and what I have set up here: Photovoltaics (PV) + battery + hass = maximize auto-consumption
Maybe you find some configs that you’d like to integrate?
I’ve been working on enhancing the GUI.
Here’s my current energy screen.
Does anyone know how I can display the ‘rel_Autonomy’ field from the fronius API?
This looks awesome, well done.
Would you mind sharing all your fronius related setup? Particularly the pvoutput config in the inverter. Thank you!
Hi, looks really nice, would you share that screen with me?
I am interested in the card for Grid Usage, don’t know how to do that and which kind of card you are using.
Thanks
Sure.
Here’s the PVOutput configuration.yaml section
sensor:
- platform: pvoutput
system_id: xxx
api_key: xxx
scan_interval: 150
- platform: template
sensors:
power_consumption:
value_template: >
{% set pc = state_attr('sensor.pvoutput', 'power_consumption') %}
{{ '0' if pc == 'NaN' else pc }}
friendly_name: 'Using'
unit_of_measurement: 'Watt'
energy_consumption:
value_template: "{{ '{:.1f}'.format(state_attr('sensor.pvoutput', 'energy_consumption')|float/1000) }}"
friendly_name: 'Used'
unit_of_measurement: 'kWh'
power_generation:
value_template: >
{% set pg = state_attr('sensor.pvoutput', 'power_generation') %}
{{ '0' if pg == 'NaN' else pg }}
friendly_name: 'Generating'
unit_of_measurement: 'Watt'
energy_generation:
value_template: >
{% set eg = state_attr('sensor.pvoutput', 'energy_generation') %}
{{ '0' if eg == 'NaN' else '{:.2f}'.format(eg|float/1000) }}
friendly_name: 'Generated'
unit_of_measurement: 'kWh'
and the dual gauge card that uses sensor.energy_consumption from PVOutput.

Sure. It’s the mini-graph card.

Hi Marcus, thanks for your quick response.
I have added the tod platform in configuration.yaml, so that part is ok, but for the manual card I have issues when I try to add it, I get just errors, I am quite new to home assistant, I guess I am doing something wrong. Tried to copy and past the color_tresholds: part to the manual card config but that doesn’t really work…
Maybe you can give me a hint.
thanks
You’ve probably already done it, but mini-graph-card is a custom component that needs to be installed:
Otherwise I am going to try this later today, I’ll see how I go too…
Awesome, thank you! Can you post the push service to pvoutput config on the inverter? I never could work that out properly.
yes I haev installed the mini-graph-card but had to restart the server, now it looks good. Do you know if I can set the timeinterval to update the figures so it will be shorter?
Sure.
And for house energy consumption (I think you need to be a paid donator to PVOutput for this to display)
Hi Delbz,
That’s a great view you have there.
I managed to setup the Energy and Grid Usage based on the codes you provided…
Are you able to provide the ‘Solar & Consumption’ and ‘Power’ cards as well?
Thank you in advance.
@Delbz, thanks for posting those inspirational views 
I started reworking my setup and used your views as base and so far ended up with this…still tweaking the setup.
Sure.
Solar and Consumption - Note I had to create a new sensor in configuration.yaml called ‘sensor.fronius_house_load_pos’ to display the ‘house load’ number as a positive - it’s negative by default.
