Goodwe Integration: Templates

[abasel (Andre)]

TimSoethout/goodwe-sems-home-assistant: Sensor for Home Assistant pulling data from the GoodWe SEMS API for solar panel production metrics. refers to adding the following optional template:

  - platform: template
    sensors:
      pv_temperature:
        value_template: '{{ states.sensor.inverter_$NAME.attributes.tempperature }}'
        unit_of_measurement: 'C'
        friendly_name: "PV Temperature"
      pv_eday:
        value_template: '{{ states.sensor.inverter_$NAME.attributes.eday }}'
        unit_of_measurement: 'kWh'
        friendly_name: "PV energy day"
      pv_etotal:
        value_template: '{{ states.sensor.inverter_$NAME.attributes.etotal }}'
        unit_of_measurement: 'kWh'
        friendly_name: "PV energy total"
      pv_iday:
        value_template: '{{ states.sensor.inverter_$NAME.attributes.iday }}'
        unit_of_measurement: '€'
        friendly_name: "PV income day"
      pv_itotal:
        value_template: '{{ states.sensor.inverter_$NAME.attributes.itotal }}'
        unit_of_measurement: '€'
        friendly_name: "PV income total"
      pv_excess:
        value_template: '{{ states.sensor.inverter_$NAME.attributes.pmeter }}'
        unit_of_measurement: 'W'
        friendly_name: "PV spare"
      # battery soc
      pv_soc:
        value_template: '{{ states.sensor.inverter_$NAME.attributes.soc }}'
        unit_of_measurement: '%'
        friendly_name: "Battery power"

Looking at the below, I cannot work out where this might be stored:

Hi Andre,

While it is possible to make that work, that is the legacy syntax for making those and you can’t find it easily in the Docs because that way was replaced years ago. You should complain to the source of that information that they need to fix this problem…

This should be put into your configuration,yaml file. If there is already a template: section in there, skip the template: key and put this under that key. Otherwise paste this into configuration.yaml as-is.

template:
  - sensor:
    - name: pv_temperature

NOTE:

You may also want ot need to add availability: and state_class: information to these to take care of what happens if the sensor goes offline and to put these numbers into Long Term Statistics.
I have added a unique_id so you can see these values in the UI.
