Not getting output to grid data on growatt installation

Hi,
I installed the growatt integration, and I was recently able to export some energy to the grid. I have three possible entities related in the Growatt integration: sensor.NWXXX_export_to_grid; sensor.NWXXX_export_to_grid_today and sensor.NWXXX_lifetime_export_to_grid. While the first two get data, the sensor.NWXXX_lifetime_export_to_grid is always zero, and this is the only entity that shows up in the HA energy configuration. I’d appreciate suggestions on how to deal with this, since as a consequence my exported energy is always zero in the graphs and stats.

Any info on this? I’m having the same issue and can’t figure out a solution

Hi did you figure it out? I have the same. Everything works sort of except *_export_to_grid. Its a fresh install.
Also mine shows only week solar generation in the distribution graphics with daily consumption from grid. Did yours too? I suspect database corruption on the SD card of the Py

Hi Everybody,

Firstly, let me say “hi”, I’m Chris aka ‘muppet3000’ who maintains the Growatt Integration for Home Assistant.

Secondly, sorry for the massive cross-post on all the forum topics with ‘Growatt’ in the title, it was just easier to copy/paste this everywhere.

Thirdly, I didn’t realise how many forum posts there were for Growatt and the Integration!!! I must admit I find the forums very difficult to follow and navigate so I don’t spend much time here.

I mainly wanted to post to draw everyone’s attention to the following info:
1 - I’ve started maintaining the Integration primarily as a ‘custom integration’ which you can find here
2 - There’s a handy Info page for the custom integration here
3 - I will periodically roll up changes from the custom integration into the Core one in Home Assistant but this will not be very regularly
4 - There’s a prioritised list of bugs/feature requests that I’m working on here
5 - There’s a more thorough reasoning for my decision to move this into a custom integration here
6 - One thing that’s missing from the Feature Requests etc. is the addition to configure systems - I’m working on it, but it’s a background task until I have added support for all the different types of systems - Add ideas here if you have thoughts on what you’d like to be able to do.
7 - If you want to log issues or feature requests please do it here - Only there and in the Home Assistant Core repo will I actually see them, like I said I don’t actively monitor the forums, so the official repos are the best places!
8 - Please don’t assume that I’ve read this thread in a huge amount of detail, if feature requests etc. that have been requested in this thread are still relevant, please log them over on the new git repo here and I’ll get them prioritised - PLEASE read through the issues already logged first to check you’re not duplicating requests.

I hope all that makes sense, I’ve marked this thread as ‘watching’ so I’ll get notifications if people respond etc. but getting hold of me via the git repo issues section is the best way.

C
