I managed to get the Energy setup working with my inverter data.
I have been running this for 2 hrs and can see the data in the Energy section (Screnshot below)
My inverter data is Watts with “voltronic_pv_in_watts” will max to 2400 W as i have <3KW system and my consumption “voltronic_load_watt” has averaged to <300W for the 2 hrs it have the Energy setup.
My inverter sensors are showing correct Watts, i have been running this for 2 years now.
However if you look at the Energy screenshot its showing consumption 26.68kW and pv output as 107.52kw in less then 2 hrs which is ridiculous.
I am assuming its the Reimann Integration, maybe the parameter " unit_time: min" , should this be sec? or is the issue something else.
below are the values from my inverter, i get them updated in HA from inverter every 5-8 sec . The value is in Watts
- platform: mqtt
name: "voltronic_pv_in_watts"
state_topic: "homeassistant/sensor/voltronic_pv_in_watts"
unit_of_measurement: "W"
icon: "mdi:solar-panel-large"
- platform: mqtt
name: "voltronic_load_watt"
state_topic: "homeassistant/sensor/voltronic_load_watt"
unit_of_measurement: "W"
icon: "mdi:chart-bell-curve"
below is my Reimann Sum integral integration to supposedly convert the Watts to KWh
- platform: integration
source: sensor.voltronic_pv_in_watts
name: pv_in_battery
unit_prefix: k
unit_time: min
round: 2
- platform: integration
source: sensor.voltronic_load_watt
name: battery_consumed
unit_prefix: k
unit_time: min
round: 2
Below is the display in my energy screen
