My house runs on a E3DC S10 Mini. It provides values for power consumption, grind consumption, solar production and battery consumption.
It is integrated in Home Assistant via Modbus

These sensors provide a power read out in Watt [W], whereas both, sensor.e3dc_battery_power
and sensor.e3dc_grid_power
can be positive, or negative, depending on the flow of the power (i.e. charging or discharging the battery / consuming power from the grid or returing power produced by my photovoltaic system into the grid).
The energy management introduced to Home Assistant with version 2021.8 requires energy sensors rather than power sensors. As this is not provided by the inverter, I would need to use the Riemann-Integration.
However, if I understand correctly the energy management setup dashboard is asking for the grid consumption only (i.e. integration of the postive values of sensor.e3dc_grid_power
), and the return to grid (i.e. the integration of the negative values of sensor.e3dc_grid_power
). There I have the question: How do I achieve this?
Additionally I do not see the possibility to track the energy consumption of the house, nor how what the batteries role in the whole energy management is, or do I misinterpret something?
