Thanks Greg!
Hi,
I’m trying to convert my power-wheel-card into this testla-style-solar-power-card. As it’s far more beautiful and matching the HA Energy dashboard.
I just have the actual solar production, the actual grid power consumption en the actual grid power production entities available.
Any idea how to convert them into the tesla-style-solar-power-card as I don’t succeed. Based on the 3 entities he should be able to calculate the house consumption I suppose (as the power-wheel-card does).
This is my config in power-wheel-card:
type: custom:power-wheel-card
title: Energievebruik
solar_power_entity: sensor.actuele_opbrengst_zonnepanelen_kw
grid_power_consumption_entity: sensor.power_consumption
grid_power_production_entity: sensor.power_production
power_decimals: 3
I am testing the following config:
type: custom:tesla-style-solar-power-card
name: Actueel energieverbruik
grid_to_house_entity: sensor.power_consumption
generation_entity: sensor.actuele_opbrengst_zonnepanelen_kw
generation_to_grid_entity: sensor.power_production
Many thanks
Edit:
Got it working. I added a new sensor generation_to_house which I calculate using a template: total generation sunpanels - grid power production
All working fine now! Great card! Thanks for all hard work!
I would be interested to see some more of what you did Greg, I’ve just moved from a 2021 version of core and hass to the latest (2022.3) and the my results are more like random numbers. I think I must have something seriously wrong…

These are working correctly
My Sensors, which were working OK until this update. I’ve moved the max(0) min(0) as shown in Greg’s post resulting in numbers rather than 0s but the numbers are wrong. For example discharge from battery to house was just showing as 8kWh when the Powerwall can only run at 5kWh and at the time the house was using less than 1kWh.

Sensor templates, please excuse the typo in the word consumption on one sensor. I have a complex setup here with separate solar systems ontop of what the powerwall is connected to, as I have 3 phase. Hopefully it can help

Thanks Gregory, Started comparing and already made a few improvements in my definitions which looks like I’ve fixed grid and house. More to do.
Can I ask, what is powerwall_battery_reverse?
Many thanks
Sure, it just swaps above zero for below,
Eg -5440w becomes 5440w or vice versa
Depending on the integration or calculation required, the opposite of the Tesla battery sensor reading sensor might be useful.
Thanks for that. This change certainly has messed up my maths. Video is interesting.
Looking in Developer Tools the base numbers look OK and match what the Powerwall app says. The Energy stats graphs are all good as well. It’s just down to sorting the Tesla Style Power Card problems.
Currently, getting darkish, wife is cooking and most coming from solar and rest from grid. Nothing from battery according to my card, whereas in truth it’s all from battery. An interesting evening is in the offing!
Thanks again for the comments.
I have used the old card as well as the new one. I have recetnly switched from the HACS @safepay to the official HA version of Fronius. Maybe this was a bad idéa? So first of all, For thoose of you that have Fronius what integration are you using? And secondly can anyone with the official Fronius integration share a Tesla Solar card code? I just can not get this working and my numbers are mixed up. Looks like this now:

The main issue is that the house consumptions shows wrong value. I have added extra templates.
Does anyone with a Tesla Powerwall that’s using this card know how to accurately configure a daily consumption sensor for house power consumption in kWh?
Specifically for house_extra_entity I would like the top number to show me how much energy my home has consumed today and then reset to zero at midnight. I have corresponding sensors over the solar (how much produced) and grid (how much pulled from grid).
I originally setup a Utility Meter sensor to look at the sensor.powerwall_load_import from the Tesla Powerwall integration, which appears to regularly match what’s reported in the Tesla app for total daily home consumption. However, I have noticed that the number appears to be inflated when my Powerwall charges from solar. It doesn’t exactly add up, but it’s within a few tenths of a kWh, so I’m thinking I need to somehow create a sensor that excludes battery charging as home energy consumption. It’s too bad the Tesla Integration just don’t provide a sensor that shows the same daily numbers reported in the app.
Any pointers for configuing a sensor to show me this value above the home icon in this card? Thanks!
I pretty much do what you have suggested. I have a utility meter on load_import.
The numbers seem to be out by a small margin as well. 12.6 kWh vs 12.8 kWh.
Thanks. I really don’t get why mine is so off.
I’m wondering if there’s a problem with the Tesla PowerWall integration or something. Here are the types of differences I’m seeing day to day. Sharing in case anyone is seeing differences.
Apr 28 (as of right now)
- Tesla - 56.5 kWh
- HA Consumption Sensor from Tesla Integration - 61.6 kWh
- Energy Dashboard - 57.7 kWh
Apr 27
- Tesla - 36.2 kWh
- HA - 42.3 kWh
- Energy Dashboard - 36.2 kWh
Apr 26
- Tesla - 33.1 kWh
- HA - 36.3 kWh
- Energy Dashboard - 32.9 kWh
Apr 25
- Tesla - 36.2 kWh
- HA - 37.1 kWh
- Energy Dashboard - 36.4 kWh
Apr 24
- Tesla - 71.8 kWh
- HA - 78.2 kWh
- Energy Dashboard - 71.7 kWh
Apr 23
- Tesla - 69.1 kWh
- HA - 78.9 kWh
- Energy Dashboard - 69 kWh
Can you check back against the HA energy dashboard.
I get really close results there. Thus I suspect the error maybe the utility meter calculations.
good call. I just updated my previous post with those values too.
The Energy Dashboard is definitely closer to the Tesla app than my HA utility sensor. So you think it’s a utility meter calculation error?
Are there any plans to adapt this awesome card to match the style of the standard energy dashboard of Home Assistant? The two cards are similar in setup but not in style.

If you are just looking for the gaps in the connecting lines, use this config
show_gap: true
That’s a nice one, thanks. But I also ment the color and thicker circles.
For those with Tesla Wall Connectors and using this awesome integration, what’s the preferred method to insert consumption data for the Tesla Wall Connector on one of the appliances?
I just replaced my JuiceBox with a Tesla Wall Connector and was surprised to see it measure three separate phases for Current and Voltage, but not the aggregate watts actively being used.
This person has created a config Value Template or this calculation, but is there a more preferred way to bring this information into the Tesla Style Solar Power Card?
@reptilex / Hi Guys,
Awesome UI Card, Thank you I have been using it since 2021.
Since the latest HA update to 2024.06.1 I note that the bubbles and the numbers have all become very small and unreadable on my Android phone. I refer to this one card almost every time that I open HA as it gives me a perfect overview of everything that I want to see. Is there anyway to increase the bubble size and the text font sizes to make them proportional and how they used to be?
Thank you for any feedbacks.
Thank you for the update, Now it is perfect again!
