I finally have my inverter getting data into Home Assistant so I wanted to set up my Energy Dashboard. But even on the first screen I got lost.
I have my totals Today Energy (import/export) set up but that is as far as I got. If they are even the right ones.
With the sensors on that page and the solar/battery pages, I have no idea which entities to pick.
I read on one GitHub page about adding custom sensors that convert W and kWh and I could possible fumble my way through that, but I don’t know how it applies to my set up.
Has anyone recent gone through setting up this type of inverter before and know when entities apply to which entries?
I would also be interested in this. I’ve made some w → kwh sensors and so on, but they seem to be reporting the wrong data. My grid usage appears to be higher than my total usage!
Here is what I got from another forum and it looks good:
Grid connections
Energy imported from grid: Meter Total Energy (import)
Energy exported to grid: Meter Total Energy (export)
Power measurement: Active Power
Solar Panels
Solar production energy: Total PV Generation
Solar production power: PV Power
Home Battery Storage
Energy charged into the battery: Total Battery Charge
Energy discharged from battery: Total Battery Discharge
Type of power measurement: Standard
Battery Power: Battery Power
Would love to get people’s feedback if it works for them.
