Hi there, Thank you for your work on this! I was happy to come across this for my energy dashboard. I installed the latest beta version of the PFCP and it is a really straightforward setup. I am having trouble with the card dealing with the negative value from the sensor.battery_power. It shows that as power going into the battery instead of out of it.
Am I misunderstanding how this is supposed to be setup?
Seeing some odd behaviour where entities show as bubbles but the data is inconsistent. Here is my YAML
Screenshot shows the in built energy card alongside the power flow plus card. Running 0.1b but behaviour same in 0.0.9.6. Also do not get the visual editor with the beta.

thanks for the update fixed a few issues i was having
how are you displaying both current usage and daily within the bubbles?
That would be good!
I’m trying to misuse your exellent card …

As marked in yellow the only thing which is not working out of the box is the unit of measurement.
Is it possible to have configuration options to define the unit, so that the change from W/kW to Wh/kWh can be configured individually?
Any reason you are not using the core energy flow card?

Actually I’m improving
by the usage of
custom:power-flow-card-plus
custom:system-energy-flow-card
and I’m quite happy with the result to setup an Energy Management System (EMS) platform …
Cheers

I’ve made my PF+ card similar to the energy distribution card.
Using individual1 and 2 I’ve added water and gas, and inverted flow and such.
But I’d like to know how to display the value unrounded. Gallons says 8 as it’s rounded. The value is actually 7.6
unit_of_measurement for this device is set to ‘gal’
Is there a way to not display this as a rounded value? As w_decimal and kw_decimal have no effect.
Try using
secondary_info:
template: >-
{{ states('sensor.your_energy_sensor') | round(1) }} kWh
Then you can keep power on the bottom and energy on the top, like the screenshot in my post above?
Hi all need a bit of help
i use a shelly em2 lead 1 messures solar
lead 2 measures power with a + figure pulling from grid and - export to grid.
i use the power flow card.
with
name: Power Usage
type: custom:power-flow-card
entities:
grid: sensor.power_out_power
solar: sensor.solar_in_power
watt_threshold: 999
w_decimals: 0
the home is calculated by the card.
How do i get this card to do the same
is there a option
thanks
Newbie here.

You need to create a card in lovelace.
It doesn’t belong in configuration.yaml
Ahh!!, Thankyou.
As I said Newbie, took me a while to figure out quite what that meant, but its all good now.
Hi all,
Since the update today - (v0.1.1) i lost the moving points between the bubbles.
Does anyone else has this problem?
I am using version 0.1.1 and it works as expected.
Thank you for checking.
Do you have an idea what is wrong with my code or better is there something which might cause this problem?
Up to now, everything worked.
edit: activated the new flow model and the moving points are back again.
