EDIT: this thread is obsolete. Three new configuration can be found here:
I have been working on setting up the SolarEdge Modbus integration and creating the right sensors etc for this platform to be able to get almost live updates in my Lovelace Dashboard and also use this data to feed the new Energy Page in the latest Homeassistant updates. I took me a while to get everything working properly, so I thought I could share my setup here. I am really happy with this integration since now I have one less dependency on cloud data. All the required information gets read directly inside my own home network and on top of that the information is almost live.
Hopefully someone else can use this information tooâŚ
This is what I wanted to have live updates on:
So in the confguration.yaml I defined the modbus integration and create utility meters for my different sensors.
In the sensors.yaml I used the integration platform to calculate Wh based on the live updates from the modbus sensors in W. Also here are the seperate modbus integration sensors. Still working on the âBattery Stateâ sensor to figure out what the numbers mean (I know that battery_state 3 is charging)
And then in the template.yaml I did some if then else statements to create a sensor for imported energy and exported energy. The modbus gives me only one sensor for the power grid which has values which are positive or negative. I wanted to seperate these in a dedicated import and export sensor.
So all that led to the following configs:

When that all worked, I was now able to use the import and export sensors in my Energy Dashboard configuration:
The only value I still need the SolarEdge Cloud integration for is the lifetime energy. Somehow the value coming from the Modbus integration is weird and not correct. Still need to dig in to this.
Next up is making some sensors which calculate my power usage from my battery on a daily basis and some more statistics which I just like to see.
