SolarEdge Configuration

Configuration
1

Hi There,

I’m trying to fix my solaredge configuration. This has been working for several weeks but all of a suddon stopped.
First i had a configuration like this:

sensor:
  - platform: solaredge
    api_key: 1234567890
    site_id: 1234567890
    name: SolarEdge
    monitored_conditions:
      - current_power
      - energy_today
      - energy_this_month
      - energy_this_year
      - lifetime_energy
      - site_details
      - meters
      - sensors
      - gateways
      - batteries
      - inverters
      - power_consumption
      - solar_power
      - grid_power
      - storage_power

Now i’m trying to fix it, but can’t get it to work again.
Finally i have some stuff to turn things around:

  - platform: sensors
    sensors:
      solaredge_energy_this_year_template:
        value_template: "{{ (states('sensor.solaredge_energy_this_year') | float / 1000) | round(2) }}"
        unit_of_measurement: 'kWh'
      solaredge_current_power_template:
        value_template: "{{ (states('sensor.solaredge_current_power') | float / 1) | round(2) }}"   
        unit_of_measurement: 'W'
      solaredge_energy_today_template:
        value_template: "{{ (states('sensor.solaredge_energy_today') | float / 1000) | round(2) }}" 
        unit_of_measurement: 'kWh'
      solaredge_lifetime_energy_template:
        value_template: "{{ (states('sensor.solaredge_lifetime_energy') | float / 1000) | round(2) }}"     
        unit_of_measurement: 'kWh'

This leaves me with the following error: Platform error sensor.sensors - Integration ‘sensors’ not found.

Any ideeas on how to fix this?

EDIT: Changing - platform: sensors to - platform: template fixed my error obviously. But leaves me with empty data.

Alright. Been reading some more and found out there were some changes in the last update. For those who want it working again:

#Zonnepanelen
solaredge:
  api_key: YOUR_API_KEY
  site_id: YOUR_SITE_ID


#Zonnepanelen
sensor:
  - platform: template
    sensors:
      solaredge_energy_this_year_template:
        value_template: "{{ (states('sensor.solaredge_energy_this_year') | float / 1000) | round(2) }}"
        unit_of_measurement: 'kWh'
      solaredge_current_power_template:
        value_template: "{{ (states('sensor.solaredge_current_power') | float / 1) | round(2) }}"   
        unit_of_measurement: 'W'
      solaredge_energy_today_template:
        value_template: "{{ (states('sensor.solaredge_energy_today') | float / 1000) | round(2) }}" 
        unit_of_measurement: 'kWh'
      solaredge_lifetime_energy_template:
        value_template: "{{ (states('sensor.solaredge_lifetime_energy') | float / 1000) | round(2) }}"     
        unit_of_measurement: 'kWh'

This is great info and perfect timing. Thanks for sharing.

Do you know how to add more than one inverter?

Your welcome :slight_smile:
I only have one installation so i don’t have any experience with adding a second one… Sorry.

Hello Maurice, how do I get this template be showed in my Dashboard. It’s only shows in Wh, but I want it in kWh.

After placing the code below in your configuration.yaml and restarting Home Assistant it will create a new sensor with

In this example, you need to look for the entity with name “solaredge_energy_this_year_template”

#Zonnepanelen
sensor:
  - platform: template
    sensors:
      solaredge_energy_this_year_template:
        value_template: "{{ (states('sensor.solaredge_energy_this_year') | float / 1000) | round(2) }}"
        unit_of_measurement: 'kWh'

Many Thanks Maurice.
Everything works great.

Are you from Holland?

Good to hear :).

Yeah. i’m from holland. Looking at your name a assume you are to :wink:

Does anyone know how to remove the unused Solaredge sensors from the integration as its not possible to hide them in the ui

To my knowledge, there is no way currently. There use to be a way to specify “monitored_ conditions” but they removed that in 0.99.

Thnx!! Helpt a lot this topic.
I also created a sensor for a this month:

  solaredge_month_energy_template:
    value_template: "{{ (states('sensor.solaredge_energy_this_month') | float / 1000) | round(2) }}"     
    unit_of_measurement: 'kWh'

Now I would like to make 4 sensors what I earned with the solarpanels.
Today
Month
Year
Alltime

I pay/get for a kwh € 0,21327.
I understand that I have to multiply it with one of the other sensors, but how?

Edit solved it by some help on tweakers:

  • platform: template
    sensors:
    solaredge_energy_this_year_template:
    value_template: “{{ (states(‘sensor.solaredge_energy_this_year’) | float / 1000) | round(2) }}”
    unit_of_measurement: ‘kWh’
    solaredge_current_power_template:
    value_template: “{{ (states(‘sensor.solaredge_current_power’) | float / 1) | round(2) }}”
    unit_of_measurement: ‘W’

    value_template: “{{ (states(‘sensor.solaredge_energy_today’) | float / 1000) | round(2) }}”
    unit_of_measurement: ‘kWh’
    solaredge_lifetime_energy_template:
    value_template: “{{ (states(‘sensor.solaredge_lifetime_energy’) | float / 1000) | round(2) }}”

    value_template: “{{ (states(‘sensor.solaredge_energy_this_month’) | float / 1000) | round(2) }}”

I’m new to HA and I’ve been using Domoticz for the past few years. In Domoticz, I was able to see the AC voltage and frequency (usually around 235V and 50Hz in the NL). How can I add these? Especially whith these sunny days, I want to make sure that the voltage is not too high.
HA is installed in a docker on my Synology (so not the OS or Supervised).
