Power Flow Card Plus šŸš€

I figured out some of the issues, resulting in

Still need help on the fossil fuel and water :slight_smile:

After the last update of the card (yesterday) my Shelly EM used to control the EV charge canā€™t be recognized.

I can set up an individual for other shelly or other entities, but not for the Shelly. It worked until yesterday.

I tried to set directly or in the yaml editor, no difference.

So i managed to solve almost all the issues:

But the display error at Water still eludes me. Same sensor set as secondary info displays the value correctly.

    - entity: sensor.waterdaily
      name: Water
      icon: mdi:water-pump
      color: '#71bec4'
      color_icon: false
      display_zero: true
      display_zero_state: true
      accept_negative: false
      inverted_animation: true
      unit_of_measurement: mĀ³
      decimals: 1
      secondary_info:
        entity: sensor.waterdaily
        name: Water
        icon: mdi:water-pump
        color: '#71bec4'
        display_zero: true
        display_zero_state: true
        accept_negative: false
        inverted_animation: true
        unit_of_measurement: mĀ³
        decimals: 1

@flixlixlix any idea why this is happening please ?

Cheers

Hello everyone!

First of all thank you so much for this amazing Card! Very good work!

Just to let you know, since the last major update I realized two issues:

  1. The circles and the lines do not fit perfectly anymore (see red markings)
  2. The line of the first individual entity is not colored correctly (see blue marking)

EDIT: As soon as you color the icon of the first individual entity the line gets colored too ?!

EDIT 2: Zero lines of individual entities are not greyed out correctly.

Hi All

Iā€™ve just come across a strange happening that I canā€™t seem to figure out - itā€™s probably some simple that Iā€™ve inadvertently done/not done (Iā€™m still new on HA!).

The latest update to the PFC+ (v 0.2.1) allowed up to 4 ā€˜individualā€™ entities. I added my 4 entities and it works just fine via the Chrome browser and the HA application on my macMini. However when I view the card on my mobile devices (iphone and ipad) via the HA Companion App the card doesnā€™t show the ā€˜individualā€™ entities. It does if I run HA via Chrome on these devices.

Iā€™m running HA Core version 2024.4.0, Front End 20240403.1.

Not sure whatā€™s going on as I was able to successfully view 2 ā€˜individualā€™ entities in the previous version of PFC+.

Hereā€™s the screen shot from the Chrome browserā€¦
Chrome - screenshot

ā€¦and from the iphoneā€¦

I tried removing two of the individuals from the code and it still didnā€™t show any of the ā€˜individual entitiesā€™. I have refreshed the browser cache and restarted HA during testing of this all to no avail.

Any help really appreciated. Great work on the card BTW!

How did you make the circles bigger anyways? For me the second info gets stuck in the circles, they are too small.

Ok seems to be fixed now, not a PFC+ problem at all. I moved some of my sensors into the template file format and now all four individual entities are shown. I think if thereā€™s a problem with the individual entity sensor(s) then the card just shows the grid, Solar and house circles.

sensor:
  - name: "mains_reverse"
    unit_of_measurement: "W"
    state: >
        {% if is_state('binary_sensor.mains_direction', 'off') %}
          {{ states('sensor.mains_power') * 1 }}
        {% else %}
          0
        {% endif %}
  - name: "mains_forward"
    unit_of_measurement: "W"
    state: >
        {% if is_state('binary_sensor.mains_direction', 'on') %}
          {{ states('sensor.mains_power') * 1 }}
        {% else %}
          0
        {% endif %}

If anyone else ends up with the same issue using a forward reverse ct this is what will get you out of trouble.
thanks @wattmatters for starting me off and sorry for the very slow replyā€¦ working away will do that

Hey, recently the Power Flow Card has only been working on my PC.

I get the error message on my iPhone:

ā€œYou are using an outdated configuration. Please update your configuration to the latest version.ā€

Somehow strange that it only doesnā€™t work on the mobile phone, has anyone already had this problem and knows a solution?

Thansk in advance

Clear the Cache on the Mobile App or Browser you use on your phone and thatā€™ll most likely solve itā€¦

Ahh now I have the error on my PC too. :smiley:

Does anyone know what the problem could be? Possibly the sensors used, because I donā€™t think some of them are template sensors?

EDIT: Fund the solution. After the cache clear I was able to reconfigure the Card.

Hello Together :slight_smile:
I`ve updated to v 0.2.2 but i still only see 2 individuals? Does I have to do anything else?

Good morning

has this configuration and it works on the computer. Unfortunately, the phone says you are using outdated configuration.
I did everything and I donā€™t know whatā€™s wrong anymore
Iā€™ll ask for help

same problem mentioned, as well as solution, about three or four posts before yoursā€¦

for me the solution was to delete the individuals part of your card and re-create them afterwards using the UI editor of this card.

Hello,

i update to v0.2.2.
My current power flow card and a new one also show me the old UI editor.
How i can switch to the new one with the vour individuals?

Did update to 0.2.2 with the solution mentioned. Thanks a lot

I still have the same problem?

here the same

Browser EDGE and Firefox show and also IPad APP

IPad AIR App show (all OK)

And Test a new Card in EDGE
shows:

and in App it shows the same Card IPad AIR:


and the edit Page shows no visuel Page

you need to read the release notes Release v0.2.2 - lots of bugfixes šŸ› Ā· flixlix/power-flow-card-plus Ā· GitHub > see the section about moving from 0.1.8 to 02.0

your config for individual is wrongā€¦itā€™s no longer individual1, individual2 and is now a list (I think itā€™s a list anyway) under a singular individual

(at a guess the devices where the cards are ā€œworkingā€ havenā€™t cleared their cache and are using an old version of the card)
