I love the plugin and its visual approach to show where the energy comes from used in the house. What I like especially is that the ring around the house shows the share of the energy sources (solar/grid/battery).
Only pitty is, that this is only a snapshot of exactly “NOW”.What I am looking for is the data shown in the colored ring, but spread over time. I created a mockup to try out in excel.
I dont have yet my solar running … so I cant experiement in HA. Had to do it in Excel.
Have you guys came across a similar approach in HA here somwhere where I could dive into teh YAML and how its done?
If not … any Idea how this could be approached using lovelace cards?
I made soma assumptions on consumption and solar production.
This is how it could look like in Summer:
Clear. I want this graph promiently in my standard dashboard bc this is what displayed on a big screen in the living room. I dont want this on the extra energy panel. Can we easily recreate this graph in a dahsboard?
Guys, I have installed Power Flow Chard Plus and it works like a charm on my Browser on the PC. I have a Picture Frame which runs a Kiosk Browser. There the card will not show. What am I missing here?
Daily solar is provided by the solcast integration (sensor.solcast_forecast_remaining_today).
Some of the calculated values may not be exactly correct, as I tried to calculate them from provided values from my inverter like ampere, voltage or watt.
Hope it will help you.
Maybe you should check, what values are provided by your photovoltaic system and reading the manual for sunsynk-power-flow-card
I pretty well know that, however, I was asked and politeness and respect for others made me publish my config here. Pls. feel free to move it to the correct section.
How can I get the state of my car (Tesla) in Power Flow? Percentage or kWh? I’ve already a tab on HA where I can see it, but would be nice to see it in Power Flow too
Then, I noticed that power-flow-card-plus card appears to have more features than the tesla card I’m currently using. However, I don’t know how to use it with my Telsa Powerwall source sensors (like I do with the Tesla-Style-Solar-Power-card) this card’s documentation doesn’t provide the needed template sensors for it all to work.
Can someone please provide the necessary template code to fully support this card’s capabilities presuming I have available the default Tesla Powerwall source sensor names: sensor.powerwall_site_power sensor.powerwall_load_power sensor.powerwall_solar_power sensor.powerwall_battery_power
I’m not sure why my current Tesla-style-flow card has so many template sensor code and the Power Flow Card Plus card doesn’t seem to require any? I think I’m missing something fundamental. Below are all the template sensors I use currently for Telsa-style-flow card:

Does anyone use this card with a single EV charge point but mutliple EVs? Not sure what the best way to do it is, other than having a “dummy” entity so that it always looks like EV1 is charging even if EV2 is charging:
Hi Luca
Parabéns!!!
This is absolutely fantastic work!!! Wow!
Please keep on! And thanks!
I only have a quick question on a matter that is puzzling me…
The energy in the home bubble is in my case not adding the energy going out fro there to the additional devices attached to it… just adds grid
I have also installed it and am loving it.
But I see you have the same situation as in my case (or at least as I interpreted):
I thought that by adding the individual items the consumption of the house would be automatically adjusted … (but it isn’t …)
I have a heat pump for heating and the electricity counter is separate
So I guess I have to add the two sensors and define this sum as the one for the grid?
I have no entity defined in the set up for “Home”.
It uses the net of power flow data from the entities defined for solar, grid and battery to determine the home’s power consumption value and automatically adjusts.
The individual sensors do not affect the home’s consumption value, they are for display of extra data and use their own sensors.
I would very much like to have a few more of those individual display circles as I have several individually monitored buildings I can display.
Thanks for responding
I also habe no entity for home… but so you say that if teh power of one of the bubbles ( let’s say the car above) was 5kW the number shown in the home circle would not change… I…e the power of the Individual bubbles are not counted… just the grid, solar and battery…
Did I understand correctly? Because that is what I have too but I thought the home circle would count it since it is energy being consumed
