I have a light intensity sensor for estimating PV power capacity for better power management.
how can I enter a light sensor and receive a useful value for my maximum consuming capacity easier and faster by HA GUI?! and after that use it in automation to switch on and off consumers based on light intensity light vs pv watt|690x320
Sorry if it is a silly question, I am a noob at this …
“What light intensity sensor is it?”
Xiaomi Light Sensor EU Illuminance
Brand | Xiaomi MIjia
Model| GZCGQ01LM
Examination Range 0-83000lux
“Do you already have it integrated into HA and returning values?”
Yes It is integrated and it gives me Lx values that correspond to the maximum power available from the inverter exactly Valuelx divided by 24 gives me the instant power kw available.
It is useful because I am not a prosumer and I can use the entire amount of energy available to heat a boiler and make some hot air with A/C.
The link from the previous post shows the graphics with the values from the previous day.
Now I need to figure out a way of turning on/off depending on the difference between what energy I am consuming and what I am able to consume.
