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’ve got the same issue you mentioned.

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.

Yes you can. I have only one string, so i tested it with the attribute “powerdc1” there are also powerd2/3/4 values, check which one is filled for you.
You need to add “powerdc1” and “powerdc2” to the JSON json_attributes and add add a template sensor for it:
solax_x1_now_string1:
friendly_name: "Solax X1 now String1"
value_template: "{{ state_attr('sensor.solax_x1', 'powerdc1') }}"
unit_of_measurement: "W"
Keep in mind that is is the “Raw” pv watt and nog excactly what is feeding in to you house. But at least now you can see the data.
Hi
OK, got the test link working no problem, had the coffee… than totally lost you.
“Build the Sensors in HA”
ummmm, what? where? how?
I am totally new to this… did you guess. pretend I am really thick… how do I get to “sensors”?
I found it on Sensor - Home Assistant but no idea how I get this on HA? View source on GitHub? that dosent seem to help me either…
dosent seem to be an add on or integration from within the HA GUI?
Sorry for what is probably a very basic and simple question. I am sure when I know I will roll my eyes at myself as I am sure your doing to me now!
Thanks for any help

Hi
Ok, Got somewhere.
Great guide, and I wouldn’t have got anywhere without it. I am totally new to to this, but here is some stuff thats not obvious to a totally new person like me.
" Build the sensors in HA"
Translation:-
Add this to the configuration.yaml file on your HA.
To do this add the addon “file Editor”, start it, then click open Web UI. click the folder icon and paste the sensors stuff above.
with one exception…
in the configuration stuff above it says sensors: this should be Sensor:
“just add the new sensors:”
Translation
in HA, click overview in side bar, bottom right click add card, click by entity, search for solax and click the items you have just added.
Thanks again for the guide and sorry if my new-ness is just obvious stuff. but if i got stuck there, maybe others did too.
Thanks

I changed the state_class: total_increasing but for some reason it now shows a negative value.
template:
- sensor:

Hi,
First of all, great topic and info. It works for me, but the energy dashboard show different values than the entity. I think this has something to do with the energy production dips. Does anyone know how to get the entity and the energy dashboard in-sync?
Energy dashboard:

Hi community!!
I have a X1 Boost 3.0T inverter. I’d like to share my configuration. It’s based on @schnetf config, so, Thank you!!!
I’ve added more parameters, including the consumption in Watts.
As you know, this is to retrieve parameters from cloud. Can you recommend me a good guide to rertrieve data directly from inverter, in local network?

Hi, I have the following script (below) running for my Solax installation. It works fine but when I add new scripts or sensors to my configuration.ymal it doesn’t work anymore. I’m assuming I did something wrong but I’m not able to find what it is.
Do you guys have any suggestions?

I am new on home assistant and i am trying to integrate my SOLAX system.
I can’t figure out where i have to install these files.
solax.yaml
pv_sensors.yaml
should both files be placed in the directory config ? Or in a subdirectory?
Hi and thanks!!! after do it… how I can create a dashboard with all information? or where I have the information? I dont have anything in Energy area… thanks!
I have in config
Hi Miguel!! Or hola. After do it, where I can see the information? I need to create dashboard or aim going to have in energy section? Im lost in this point
Hi all, many thanks to those who posted their configs - I have this mostly working apart from some weird issues in the energy tab where it appears total yield values drop to 0 occasionally, leading to massive spikes on the next reading on the energy tab. E.g.
Anyone know the cause of these or how to prevent them?
