I’m fine my answer helped you.
Thinking about the topic how intelligent battery usage can help the grid. Maybe there should be other options available…

Hello together,
i recognized that my Go E Charger don’t start loading when 1400w (1phase 6A) solar Power is available but only when 4200w (3phase 6A) is available. Does the automation not change to 1 phase automatically If there is not enough power for 3 phases? Must i change some settings in the automation that this works or do i need an automation for 1, 2 and 3 phases?
Thank you for your help in advance.
I have the same problem with my easee charger. Changing the current works fine with Actions , but I do not see how to integrate this in the automation.
I am still searching for a solution, but as we currently don’t have a car to use for testing, its very difficult
Hi, I was wondering if any one could help me with this
Im trying to install the Solar Excess Optimizer but every time i go to run the automation i get the error " The automation “cloths dryer test” (automation.cloths_dryer_test ) has an unknown action: pyscript.pv_excess_control .
I have installed Pyscript Python scripting and set it up
I have made sure the files are in the correct location
I have added the test to the configuration file (see below)
I have restarted HA
I have removed all files and started again
But i still get this error , im so sorry if im being silly here but im really really struggling
Please Please help…???
so that’s telling you the Automation cannot find the Action you want to run (pyscript.pv_excess_control)
As a first step check in Developer Tools in HA and see if you can see the action as per screenshot below…this will tell you whether the Pyscript side of things is there and at least narrow your troubleshooting.
Is it possible to adjust the blueprint so that it accepts specific percentage for charge current?
I have a KIA EV5 that only accepts 60%, 90% and 100% charge rate and keen to find a suitable option to dynamically charge
Can you add button press to start appliances? Both my washing machine and dishwasher expect button press instead of off/on.
Can I use this blueprint to control my boiler as well? I have an 1800W boiler, but I want it to be controlled even when, for example, only 500 watts are being produced by my solar panels. I want to achieve this using a dimmer with a 0–10 Volt output, which then controls an SSR installed in the power supply of my boiler. Can this blueprint control the dimmer?
I think your logic is the wrong way round for eliminating grid imports.
- name: "Export Power"
unique_id: export_power
state: >
{% set power = states('sensor.active_power') | float(0) %}
{{ power if power > 0 else 0 }}
unit_of_measurement: "W"
I don’t quite understand you.
What I would like is the following: I have solar panels, and I want that when the panels produce more electricity than I use, this surplus is delivered to the heating element. I have a heating element with a maximum of 1800 watts. But if, for example, 900 watts is being fed back into the grid, I want those 900 watts to go to my heating element. For this, I have installed a dimmer that controls the heating element. So the dimmer must then be set to 50% (= 900 watts). Technically this is all possible, but my question is whether the blueprint can also variably control the dimmer according to how much surplus production is available.
Hi everybody, after a really long time I decided to pick up development work again. As a result this blueprint is deprecated, and you can find the new version as proper HACS integration here: PV Excess Control HACS Integration
@mogatuk1 have you managed to solve this? I have the same issue after every HA restart.
@Gav_in the "pyscript.pv_excess_control" action is available.
The issue have gone when opening and manually started the automation.
Unfortunately, after next restart, the same issue happens.
Thanks for any hint.
Hi,
have the same issue since updateing HA to 2026.5.4.
The point to restart "run" the automation did not help on my system. I was wonderung what the error message is as I can not find an error entry in the log. debug looks normal...
Any help is welcome
it looks like that this helped for me... as now I do not get the error any more.
Open config/blueprints/automation/pv_excess_control.yaml and change this one line at the bottom:
# before
- service: pyscript.pv_excess_control
# after
- action: pyscript.pv_excess_control
Then reload automations via Developer Tools → YAML → Reload Automations and restart HA.
Since HA 2024.8 the keyword service: was replaced by action:. The blueprint hasn't been updated yet.
