Fronius power meter (and inverter) - help with configuration

Hey All,

Any chance someone can tell me how to get the new sensor.power_sold and sensor.power_bought sensors to show in the Energy Dashboard? - I’ve setup the same as posts here (I think) and while I can see them under Entities, they aren’t available as a drop-down when editing the Energy Dashboard and it’s doing my head in.

I’ve tried adding in this to the configuration.yaml, but I’m not too sure what it’s done as nothing has changed.

sensor:

  • platform: integration
    source: sensor.power_sold
    name: energy_sold
    round: 2
  • platform: integration
    source: sensor.power_bought
    name: energy_bought
    round: 2

Thanks in advance for any help!

Pretty ugly integration I just realised.
I had a modification on my photovoltaics system.
The smart meter got replaced.

Issue1:
The new smart meter appears right beside the old one which isn’t mounted at all.

issue2:
The old smart meter, better said the integration was loaded while having HA set up in englisch language. Recently I switched to german. Problem now HA acts as did older Microsoft Windows versions, they take the language setting into account, means all the entities created from the integration aren’t unified but now differ.

Dammit. This is dead stupid since it’s takes lots of effort to get things going again.
Not to mention that I didn’t find a way yes to get rid of the old smart meter, since both share the very same way. I at least expected a “_1” or “_2” at the end of all entities in case the device name taken for the second one is the same as the old one.

Any idea on how to solved that with ease? If I only could get the new smart meter deleted I would revert the lang settings and restart ha so that it adopts the new smart meter using the very same entity names I use all over various YAML configurations. Or is there an easier way to get this solved?

you can delete it next release. Allow Fronius devices to be deleted by farmio · Pull Request #106141 · home-assistant/core · GitHub

cool … I simply removed if from the config/.storage/*core file by now which also worked ok, but this is surely not the most appreciated way to do since you could either blow ha if doing somethings wrong or end up with orphaned leftover items in some of the core files.
