I am using the Releases · davidrapan/ha-solarman · GitHub Solarman release and I can’t make the connection between entities, the yaml script is made with default entities using ‘‘deye’’ word instead of ‘‘solarman’’. I tried to change some entities but I can;t find them all.
Thanks
The card’s performance has been optimized to feel more fluid, responsive, and efficient.
Smoother Visuals: The user interface now groups updates together, resulting in smoother animations and a less “jerky” experience.
Smarter Updates: The card now actively monitors only the devices and information visible on screen, significantly reducing unnecessary processing.
Optimized Rendering: Significant changes have been made to how visuals are rendered. This includes a much faster method for displaying icons and “guarding” complex interface parts so they are not re-drawn unless something changes.
Faster Initial Load: By pre-computing settings and caching visual templates, the card now loads much faster after the first time.
Conserved Resources: The card now pauses animations and data updates for off-screen elements or powered-off devices to save processing power.
Editor Experience Improvements
The editor has been updated to be more intuitive, helpful, and clean.
More Guidance & Clarity: Helper text has been expanded throughout the editor to better explain what each option does.
Fewer Errors: The editor now sets limits on number fields, helping prevent invalid or out-of-range values.
A Smarter, Dynamic Interface: The editor is now more intelligent, hiding or showing certain options based on other selections. This keeps the interface clean and focused on what’s important.
Improved Color Selection: The color pickers are now more reliable and show a live preview of your chosen colors, taking the guesswork out of customization.
Given this wouldn’t be a ‘load’ but generation, you should be able to use the AUX function/section of the card. Originally this was made for showing an auxiliary power source like a generator, so it should be fine for micro inverters.
Do you have another Solar / BESS system also installed and if so, how is the power from the microinverters connected into the setup?
i.e. If your a Sigenergy user with it AC connected to the gateway, then you’d have to work out the sensors and card, that would be displaying the total / plant output from solar by default.
If you had the micro inverters connected in front of the other solar / BESS system, so its attached between it and the grid, then depending upon if the new system had a consumption meter in front of all that, you’d also have to work around the sensors used / whats shown on the card.
Hi! I am trying to connect a second battery. I understand that it can not be displayed on the small map, but the question is, can the map summarize the sensors of the two batteries, such as current, power, charge level, etc? I want to see the total parameters of both batteries. or do I need to create these sensors myself?
@slipx06 How much effort would it be to have a layout geared to showing more than 6 essential loads for off-grid applications? Currently I’m putting the extra loads on the grid side, but the picture is not quite accurate
No if your BESS doesn’t provide you ‘plant’ sensors that show the totals for both batteries, like the Sigenergy does, then you need to create sensors that provide the sum totals (or averages etc) of the individual sensors yourself.
That’s about how I understood it. I have one more question. The lower threshold for shutting down the battery shutdown_soc expects a numeric value, and that’s understandable. But my threshold for shutting down the battery changes depending on the forecast for tomorrow’s output. It would be really cool to be able to substitute a non-numeric value, for example, as input_number or a sensor with a numeric value, and be able to see how long it will take for the battery to run out
Hi,
I already setting my micro inverter to the aux section but it doesn’t work like i want.
I have a Deye inverter with all my house on the backup line of the inverter and my micro inverters are directly connected to my electrical panel. In the card, the load (essential) include the micro inverter power so there are counted in the ‘essential’ section but also in the aux section, so the numbers are not consistent
Hi all,
I am using this card since 2 months and it’s amazing.
A really enormous thanks to all dev !!!
I had issue to find how to show more than 2 essentials loads, it’s fine.
My point is that with more than 2 essentials loads and an aux load setup, all essentials loads are masked. Do you know if it is possible to show aux load + 6details of essentials loads ?
Recently added a 2nd battery to my system and in order to show it in the card, i had to enable the wide view option. But this somehow ruined the size of the text and it is barely visible now. I’ve played with the card size options but no effect. I am showing this card on a 12 inch tablet.
Any advice how to make it more visible?
Picture 1 is wide enabled while picture 2 is disabled and hence more visible.
@slipx06 - any kind of ideas to try or this is by design?
Hi @slipx06 i have two installs at our farms that use deye inverters in string one with 2 inverters and one with 3 inverters, would it be possible to add multiple inverters to this in the code so each inverter also has its own battery bank and also stats per inverter with combined energy data? i know this is a bigger task but would be great for those of us that run multiple inverters in string and would be able to get alot more data at a glance rather than making combiner entities as still misses alot of data.
Greetings and congratulations for the work done. Can you help me, please, with two pieces of information?
The connection diagram between the ESP32 and the RS485 adapter and also the flash loaded on an ESP32
In my case, the BMS485/CAN socket (Deye 6Kw inverter) is occupied by the battery connection cable, where should the RS485 adapter be connected?
Thanks in advance.
