Power Flow Card Plus 🚀

Firstly i really like the card but i have a ct on my house with a forward and reverse binary sensor. is there anyway to split this into 2 sensors as the energy is always a positive value regardless of the direction

You’ll probably need to create a new template sensor which returns a positive value in one direction and a negative value for the reverse direction.

Something like the following in your yaml.config file but use the right sensors as input.

A big disclaimer - I am lousy at yaml, so there is every probability I have the syntax wrong. Hopefully others can correct it, this is more about indicating the sort of thing you can do.

template:
  - sensor:
      - name: "NewPowerSensor"
        unit_of_measurement: "W"
        state: >
          {% if states('sensor.mainsdirection')|= "FORWARD"}
            {{ states('sensor.mainspower') }}
          {% else %}
            {{ states('sensor.mainspower') * -1 }}
          {% endif %}

Of if you want two separate sensors, one for import, one for export then you can do something like in this post:

Split a sensor in two template sensors

I just realised the entity_id is in your original post ( sensor.batterij_input_output ). template: - sensor: - name: "Battery Input" unit_of_measurement: "A" state: > {% if states('sensor.batterij_input_output')|float >= 0 %} {{ states('sensor.batterij_input_output') }} {% else %} 0 {% endif %} - name: "Battery Output" unit_of_measurement: "A" state: > {% if states('sensor.batterij_inpu…
