Power Flow Card Plus 🚀

Does anyone know what this means?


I’ve had this error for a while when i try to set up a new tile.

That would be great to be able to see all the components

Unfortunately it is not in my hands to fix this bug, since it is caused by a conflict with Card Mod (This error should only occur when you have Card Mod or a Card dependant of Card Mod installed).
I’ve debugged why the bug occurred with Card Mod in the first place and found a solution. I’ve created a PR bug: additional checks for card editor entities array by flixlix · Pull Request #277 · thomasloven/lovelace-card-mod · GitHub a few weeks ago, but the Card Mod Repository seems to not have much activity currently so I don’t know when this conflict will be fixed

If you want to replicate the behavior of the Power Flow Card, you can check the minimal configuration section in the Power Flow Card Plus.

type: custom:power-flow-card-plus
entities:
  grid:
    entity: sensor.power_out_power
  solar:
    entity: sensor.solar_in_power
watt_threshold: 999
w_decimals: 0

If you have one entity for grid consumption and one for grid production, use this config:

type: custom:power-flow-card-plus
entities:
  grid:
    entity: 
      consumption: sensor.power_in_power
      production: sensor.power_out_power
  solar:
    entity: sensor.solar_in_power
watt_threshold: 999
w_decimals: 0

I changed the structure somewhat to a more logical layout. This also enables easier customization, in case you want to have more control over your card’s behavior

I have lost all but one of them too. The remaining one is the one between fossil_fuel_percentage and Grid.

Please try use_new_flow_rate_model: true

@flixlixlix any chance you could answer my question above? :pray:

Hi @flixlixlix ,
i own a solax power inverter x3 hybrid g4 which is connected through the solax modbus integration into homeassistant. i only have one entity for battery power charge which holds positive and negative values, positive for battery charging and negative for discharging.
but the card doesnt display them in the correct way.
for example, my battery gets currently loaded:

and the card is displaying it like this:

can you please have a look at this?

thanks!

good day and first of all thank you for your great work with the card.

I have the problem that my inverter provides only total values for grid input and export.

in the energy dashboard with the same sensor but daily values are displayed.

how do I get daily values with your card?

Thank you for the kind words!

This card is a power card, so it is meant to show instantaneous power not energy over a certain period of time.

I released this new Energy Flow Card Plus which has most of the same features and allows you to sync with your period selector :slight_smile:

Hello,

this option is not available in the UI Editor. In the yaml Editor, you can use:

inverted_entities: battery

In this situation I would recommend using the HA Template functionality and round to the number of decimal places you desire

The sensor itself is a template feeding a utility meter and rounding to round(1) but the power flow card seems to be taking the number say 3.6 and rounding to 4. :woman_shrugging:

The decimals should change when you change the w_decimals, regardless of the unit you set them to. Can you send the state of the entity shown in the developer tools?

Sure.



I think w_decimal doesn’t do anything as the unit of measurement is gal

It should still override, but anyways I think it would be more useful to decide for each individual device. I’ve created this functionality feat: add option for decimals in `individual` by flixlix · Pull Request #184 · flixlix/power-flow-card-plus · GitHub

Will be available in the next version of the card

No worries. Thank you for your reply, it didn’t seem to override for me. Only the W and KW measrements change when I did the global. But, I also think it would be useful to set on the individual level.

Thanks! Great card.

Thank you, just to confirm: What happens if you change the unit back to the original W? Do the decimals override then?

hi, classic case of “RTFM” :thinking:
battery charge is displaying now in the correct way. thanks for fast response and support! :wink: :+1:

Thank you for your quick reply

Have it so far understood that your card is not intended for kwh data. could also switch all sensors to the W or kw data.

my inverter makes for grid import and export only total kwh data.
so unfortunately I come again no further.

There is probably the possibility to solve this via templates, but I have absolutely no idea how I could rewrite a sonsor so.

Would you manyicht ready to explain this to me?

The sensors would be

for import total kwh
sensor.power_meter_consumption

and
export total kwh
sensor.power_meter_exported

thank you for your time and help
