Hi there,
It looks like I have an incorrect Solar representation in my Energy dashboard 
it shows like 1.4kWh produced at current
where I am in fact producing at current like 189 Watts
Here are the entities I have for Solar :
… and the one I have selected in the Energy dashboard is the “Phase_b total active returned energy” :
What I am doing wrong here and where is this 1.4kWh for solar coming from ??
Many thanks !
Hi,
It looks like you use the wrong (“Active returned sensor”) for monitoring the total produced energy.
In the energy dashboard you have to set the “Total PV sensor” for monitoring the produced energy.
This is the sensor that shows the Year Total. Home Assistant is doing the math and calculate the production per day.
Thank you … I use the “Phase B total active returned Energy” … the other one is the active power and I know I need to use the Energy counter, not the power.
But something I am not getting … this schema seems to gibe LIVE values , as I see dots running on the lines between the items :
How can that be that it then uses a “total increasing” sensor being the “total active returned energy” ??
My point is this is not a LIVE counter right ??
If I look at the device, it shows the following measures, and the correct LIVE solar panels counter for production is the “Phase B active power”
How can the Energy tab supposed to give you the real time consumption / reinfection taking incremental kWh (energy) counter as live situation ???
The energie dashboard shows only the total of the day and no live results. It updates every hour I think.
To see realtime data you have to use the energy card in your normal dashboard.
See below link:
ok, it clarifies … but the link you are giving is a page for the Energy dashboard …
I have no such "energy card " in my standard cards ??
Yes you do but not as fancy as you wan’t 
Push the button “Add card” > Scroll all the way down to the buttom and select “Manual card” or how it’s called in English
Add the card manually and paste for example the below code in it
type: energy-date-selection
Super many thanks !!
I though all available HA cards were there present in the “Add card” when building the Dashboard, … I didn’t know I could add some myself just knowing the yaml code.
On top I found yesterday from HACS 2 energy cards called Power_Flow_card_Plus and Energy_Flow_card_plus … which I am using now.
The advantage of the Power flow card plus is that it gives real time data …
What I was missing when starting this thread and looks I understand now is that the Energy dashboard is NOT giving live instantaneous data, but averages (However it is calculated) on the day / week / …
