PV / Solar Excess Optimizer: Auto-control appliances (wallbox, dish washer, heatpump, ...) based on excess solar power

LeoW4 · December 31, 2023, 1:50pm

Hello, I’ve had the PV solar exess optimizer running for a few days now, but it doesn’t work as expected. For example, it switches on the wallbox when there is no PV surplus and then draws power from the battery or the grid. I’ve tried a lot now, energy consumption meter minus battery consumption and vice versa. It even increases the charging current of the wallbox even though the energy comes from the battery. I also tried the combined import/export power meter and nothing changes. Does anyone have a tip for me

@LeoW4 Please provide debug logs / an excerpt from your Home Assistant logfile

Not at the moment, but you can supply a dummy switch (which sends the REST command when triggered) as appliance switch entity.

@LeoW4 as you can see from the logs, PV Power minus Load Power is positive in your case.

PV Power is the currently generated solar power. So if you generate no solar power, the sensors value must be zero.

Load Power is the current Load Power of the complete house. So if you charge your car with 5000W, your Load Power has to be 5000W (+ Load of other electrical devices in the house).

One of the two entities - Load Power and PV Power - has wrong values. Probably the Load Power has negative values instead of positive ones.

LeoW4 · December 31, 2023, 3:07pm

Thanks, I’ll have to look at that again, the wallbox is only activated when, as in my case, 4000W min charging power is required or earlier?

roumen · January 5, 2024, 11:18pm

Amazing stuff!

Looks like this could help me keep the total house current consumption below my 3 x 25A main fuses!

With heating / AC / Wallbox / induction cooking / oven etc. Etc. And a 4kwh solar peak + 15kwh home battery hybrid converter.

Can I define appliances per phase in order to keep all three phases below 25A?

Need to read up a lot

BeastHouse · January 7, 2024, 10:39am

Does anyone have an idea how to get the Load and Export Power as individual entities from the SolarEdge Modbus integration?

Ok so I have set this automation up to turn a dehumidifier on and off. It will not turn it on even though the conditions are perfect for it today (was feeding 15kWh into the grid at the time). This is from my logs when I manually run the automation/blueprint. Any ideas where I have gone wrong?

@BeastHouse you need to paste an excerpt from your home assistant logfile after enabling debug logging according to the first post.

BeastHouse · January 10, 2024, 9:58pm

The first block in my post was from the log file - that’s all that pops up in there when I fire the automation, and that’s with DEBUG enabled as per the docs.

Am I missing something?

Hi all,

I have victron / modbus and am stragling what to use for
Export Power
or
Combined Import/Export Power

I have seen on some screenshot that someone used helper sensor.
Which of the modbus entities should I use ?
Anyone using victron - any tip or guidance ?

thanks a lot

Monster_D · January 19, 2024, 1:24pm

I created the sensors as template sensors to be shure they get not negative or unknown. the script does not like it …
As I use a hybrid inverter with battery - separate export / import sensors are needed.

as i do not have a victron I rahter cannot help you direct.

marchow · January 20, 2024, 10:14am

Thanks
I hope someone with victron will reply what they used.

Thanks anyway
