Hi there, I am thinking of starting my first HA project
I would like to monitor my electricity consumption/production (I have a 3.3 KW PV unit). And based on this information I would like to automate some home appliances, so solar energy is consumed on site and not injected in the grid, which is more efficient and eco-friendly. A specific usecase would be to run an AC unit with the exact power of the otherwise injected solar power. I would like to use a plugwise smile P1 to monitor electricity consumption/production and home assistant integration to get things going.
Any tips for a beginner?
Are there similar projects which I can investigate?
