New Energy tab show other energy source not just solar

Hi
I have the new energy tab working but don’t have solar panels but a wind turbine.

Is there a way to change the display to say Wind turbine ?

it works good and shows the turbine production as solar

People also generate their own hydro power. Same problem. Let alone hamsters on turbines!

Hi All,

Bumping this thread as Wind power integration has become a priority for me.

Planned setup is: 15KW Solar, 4KW Wind and a battery.

Is anyone working on a wind turbine implementation, or at least multiple power input fields that can be named individually, /ex. Wind, Solar, Diesel generator, etc)

I have a gas turbine producing hot water and electricity. We are also trying to add solar power to the system, because the electricity production of the turbine is quite low. Is there a way to implement both so one also has a comparison?

I also need this.

I am using the Energy dashboard and graphs and currently have a home battery and solar PV installed. I can also see my grid import and export via current transformers connected to my EV charger or home battery.

However, I am waiting for my remote wind generation to go online via Ripple Energy. Things are looking good for developing a HA integration to the Ripple Energy API, which would allow be to better analyse my electricity production and use over time and to better synchronise my electricity of consumption in ‘real-time’.

What I would like to do is add the (remote) wind generation reading to my Energy dashboard, but currently the only form of home generation that appears to be supported is ‘Solar Panels’. At the moment the only way I can do this is to pretend that my remote wind generation (when it comes online) is solar production.

There may be other users our there who have other forms of on-site generation e.g. micro-hydro, micro-wind, or who will be buying into remote generation schemes such as Ripple Energy (for those who don’t know, Ripple Energy build wind farms and solar parks here in the UK, which are owned by a cooperative of consumers i.e. I own part of a commercial size wind farm and benefit from a proportion of the power generated.

There may be other users our there who have other forms of on-site generation e.g. micro-hydro or micro-wind, or who will be buying into remote generation schemes such as Ripple Energy.

I think that we need the ability to add other types of generation to the Energy dashboard i.e. to replace the ‘Solar Panels’ area with a more generic ‘Electricity Production’ area, and to have the ability to add electricity production entities of type ‘solar’, ‘wind’ and ‘hydro’.

I’d also love to see this as I am considering a wind turbine at home.
