I had the same problems since a couple of day’s. Adding the line
scan_interval: 60
directly after each
- platform: rest
did the trick for me.

I have three inverters and the code works fine up to summing all three values. However, the last energy distribution code is not working. My whole code is in sensors.yaml file.

Same problem here. Tried your solution but it does not work. Anyone with a possible solution?
This also worked for for me, although I used an interval of 120
I think it depends how many times HA makes contact with the website, there is a maximum of 10.000 connections per Day.
In my configuration.yaml are 5 calls each time, wich make 5x60x24 = 7.200 connections per Day.
So if you have 2 inverters 60 seconds is not enough.
I was getting more concerned about the upload of my data to a third party in the cloud. I have moved on to a complete offline solution whereby I can extract the data from the inverter direct. For this I needed an extra raspberry Pi. Here is how I did it: SolaX inverter Wifi Reverse Proxy setup

Do you have a idea what we do wrong?
Can you please repost the code in a proper format? (between …)
type or paste code here
I’ve got the API code and tried the URL (at night) but the only thing i’m getting is This sn did not access! is this due to the fact that it´s currently not on or am I doing something wrong?
{
success: false,
exception: "Query success!",
result: "this sn did not access!"
}
In the night my inverter goes in a kind of sleep mode and no data is available or transmitted. So nothing is wrong, just an efficient design.

Thanks for the quick response, I’ll just add it to my configuration than, and see what happens during the day!
Hi I’m new to Home Assistant so it might be that I am doing something wrong. I got the script working and the sensors are showing up on my dashboard. But when I try to add them to my engery page it does not display the sensors in the list.
No problemo, have a look at this solution: PV SolaX inverter cloud sensors via API - #45 by mpietersen

Did the 2022.2 update break anybody else’s Energy dashboard? I still get the correct values in my lovelace card and even the template sensor is showing the correct value. But for some reason the energy dashboard doesn’t pick up on the sensor anymore although it’s still configured as a solar input in the energy dashboard settings.

I can’t imagine we are the only two people facing this issue. Anybody else got some tips maybe on how we could get this working again?
Is it also possible to display the output of the individual strings? It is available in Solax Cloud, but I could find it in the documentation.
I get an error trying to add solax to the energy solar configuration:
statistics_not_defined
* sensor.test_energy`
No clue what it means.
I followed the instructions with minor modifications. This works for X1-booster and I have the PV yield showing up on the energy dashboard. As I am new to HA it took a bit of digging through posts. My setup described below. Hope this is of help to anyone struggling with the dashboard integration. Thanks to @Doublet and @heldopsokken.
The configuration is split in 3 parts:
- configuration.yaml
sensor: !include_dir_merge_list sensor/
template: !include_dir_merge_list template/
- solax.yaml
Grab data via api, “PV now”, “PV today”, “PV total” are in preparation of a second system I am planning to get this year so I can sum up easily.
