Open-Meteo Solar Forecast

@dm82m I actually noticed but hadn’t had the time to address it. The odd thing is that HACS still shows the correct version. I suppose it tracks the version # itself.

Edit: fixed.

HACS just uses the release found in github, home assistent itself - if you view the configured integration - uses the value of manifest.json

Apex Charts right? I had the same problem, from what I remember fully rebooting the computer that HA runs on solved my problem. Also, check if device_class and unit_of_measurement aligns with the requirements of your graph.

Did you add that dashed line to the graph on the energy dashboard? Is so, how did you edit that graph? Thanks!

Under the energy dashboard settings and the solar panels set up the right forecast.

I’l be…that was much easier than I thought :smiley:

Hallo

wie hast du Ost und west eingeben können . habe auch diese Konstellation

You need to post in English, please.

Hey @rany how often du you poll the data from open meteo? And what is the limit? I want to poll the data also from evcc.io but do not want to risk a block.

Just make to two entries. One for east one for west.

Is there any way to replace the red boxy style line with a more smooth curve?

I have replaces “area” with “line” and then added “curve: smooth” but that did not really work out as I had hoped.
I asked chatgpt which offered filters as solution which did not really work cause then the red dotted line increased over time and did not go down to 0 again.

thanks

Every 30 minutes as that’s how frequently Open Meteo updates their data as well.

New release 0.1.21!

This release fixes a bug with the calculation of the panel temperature which caused it to be off by a factor of 800. As the power output decreases the hotter they get, this caused the estimates to be too optimistic. Thanks to @thecem for finding and fixing this issue.

Hi @elRadix

I really like you APEX card, thanks for sharing.
I copied the YAML in a custom APEX card.

I get 2 errors:

  • Entity not available: sensor.pv_power → I replaced this with my Solaredge current power (W) entity

  • Entity not available: sensor.solar_goodwe → this is PV Today? Where can I find this entity or how to create it?

Appreciate your help. Best regards

see reply above, the data should come from your inverter
both power and pv generated energy

@elRadix , thanks!

I got it working. There were several entities on my solar edge integration disabled by default. Also the sensor.solaredge_energy_today entity. I enabled it and used it. Now it works, but I’m missing the vertical Now line form your example. What code should I add?

Is there also a way to change the current Wh to kWh in the Apex chart?

Current view:

Your example:

Thanks for helping out, really cool! Now I can tweak the settings oof solar Forecast to get the best forecasting results.

@DragonQ , great graph!

Would you mind sharing the APEX card code for this one?

So the green line is the actual and the yellow is the prediction today and the grey is the prediction tomorrow.

  • Why do I see a Monday with 22 kWh, this one is not showing in the graph right?

Currently I have the version of @rany working without the Now line nut everything is showing in Wh instead of kWh, do I need to change something for your APEX card to get it working in kWh?

best regards and thanks!
