I just installed HA some weeks ago and am trying to incorporate Shelly 3EM as well as my Solaredge Inverter to display power usage correctly.
I think all the values are set up in the right place in Energy Dashboard but strange things happen:
The more solar power i produce, the higher my consumption seems to be? That’s strange as i am not nearly in a place to optimize self-use
Hence it should stay more or less the same over the day if i am not actively using stuff like the oven or stove.
Below how it looks like in the front end and how i configured it. Am I missing something here?
active energy should be “total received from grid”
active returned energy should be “total delivered to grid”
And Solaredge gives me “total produced”
so if i am not misstaken, these are all values that only increase and HA sould do the math and segment the delta out for each day?
Perhaps your Solaredge inverter is returning a higher value for energy production than is actually the case? As a result, the measured values for the energy return to the grid do not match what the Shelly3 measures and the values are added to the energy consumption?
As an example, I have a small balcony power plant with an APSystems inverter. For this I use both the native APSystems integration of Home Assistant and the values of a SmartPlug with energy measurement, which I have plugged in between. Interestingly, the SmartPlug returns 10-30% lower values for the energy measurement than the inverter itself.
but then again the math would indeed make sense.
