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.
plus the tod platform in configuration.yaml to get the day/night effect

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.

Thanks mate. They all look great except for the sensor.energy_consumption which is constantly showing 0.0
Thank you so much for this, my pvoutput push is identical to yours but I can’t make sense of my pvoutput data. Does this look similar to yours?
This is todays data, I haven’t been home so my power usage certainly shouldn’t be 17kw
Solarweb:
PvOutput:
I really want to get that 13kWH export and 2.14 kWh import into HA so I can calculate power cost for the day. Does your solarweb data match pvoutput or am I reading this wrong? Thank you.
@dave122 Those figures look reasonable to me. Note that Solarweb Energy Balance chart only reports to the last hour so it’s often behind PVOutput. In summer my house uses 6-12 kWH from midnight to dawn depending on how much the AC has been running - so what you have makes sense. If you are importing your consumption into PVOutput you can easily calculate and see the daily costs.
Here’s mine from https://pvoutput.org/intraday.jsp?id=28907&sid=45948
$10.66 net cost for yesterday.
To see a daily report you select the “Show Generation/Export view” (The second square just above the word minimise in this screenshot).
Hi @safepay I have been using your Fronius custom_component since you released it, and its great, however I’m fairly sure the totals are incorrect. As you can see below, the values are huge given that they are set as MWh. I have had the system approximately one year
I’m thinking those values are actually supposed to be Wh, because dividing the total by 1M would give approximately 7.9MWh which works out to an average of 21kWh / day, which is what I see in the states:
Have you noticed this on your system?, or anyone else?
@sparkydave I just looked at this today as well and tried all kind of units and also believed that the integrations shows wrong. However if you look directly to your inverters api. In my case: http://192.168.0.3/solar_api/v1/GetInverterRealtimeData.cgi?Scope=Device&DeviceId=1&DataCollection=CommonInverterData
You will see that it reports in Wh- So the integration shows correct. It just changes the unit. I suppose you and me want it to recalculate the totals if you switch to MVh. I does not do this now.
@planet4 @sparkydave
I have my setup set to convert to kWh and my sensor in HA shows correct values in kWh, not just that the unit is in kWh.
That said, i’m running my own fork that has some more changes in it. But I don’t think I have touched anything in this part.
Oh, you are running the latest released version using HACS right? If so then I think this conversion is actually broken for you. I submitted some fixes that are in master. But since there has not been any new release you will not get those fixes, unless you manually download the integration from github.
I just saw that @safepay has updated the repo so I have updated (via HACS) and will restart HA to see how it goes.
EDIT: looking good so far
EDIT 2: the daily energy production value is now also in MWh which I think for most of us is too large. My daily is normally about 30kWh on a sunny day. It would be best to have the daily in kWh rather than MWh.
