I think I misread your question. If you have a battery attached to your SolarEdge inverter (maybe only SolarEdge batteries), then you have a battery tab in your SolarEdge Monitoring app. There you can set the battery to different behaviours.
Yes. I know I can set the batteriebehavior to “time of use” or “maximise self consumption” aso. In the app. What I thought you had managed to do was to adjust this behaviour based on the changing dynamic Tariffs from Nordpool. Or maybe this functionality has been added in the app? When I got the system now >1 year ago that was not possible. So I spent a lot of time to set up an automation to “charge on cheapest hours” and “discharge on most expensive hours”, using the modbus integration. Now trying to set up EMHASS to add some more intelligence into that behavior.
I can set different options in the SolarEdge app. With ‘Time of use’ I can use dynamic tariffs. You don’t have this?
I see that to, when now opening the app! That was new to me 
How is the optimization working you think? Does it export when high prices and import on low for batter?
Yes, if you set the correct costs and your location for you. You can enter additional costs if that implies for you. Then check the ‘Preview’ if the numbers are correct.
The system will account for the weather and your usage and behave accordingly. It’s an AI of some sort, so give it some time to learn (like 1 month or 2)
Ah! Very interesting. Thankyou! Have started to set up EMHASS, and will give it a good go. Otherwise this seems like an easier way
Hi, can someone explain to me how to get the power panel to work with the SolarEdge battery? The measurements are off, and I’m definitely using the wrong sensor. However, as for the batteries, they’re the only two I can configure. What’s wrong?
i use:
Battery Energy Export
Battery Energy Import
In the top of this message I explain which sensors I use: SolarEdge Modbus Multi config for Single Inverter, Battery and Backup Module/Meter - #2 by jrebergen
Nice one. I have a similar setup and still tweak here and there, in particular to get SolCast (solar production estimation) working with Auto dampening.
What I can recommend for further use is to add unique_id to each created sensor to get it in the registry - in addition you can then add / edit the sensor via UI.

Hi,
I am a newby, and am very impressed by your work. I like it very much. Copied all your code (followed your instructions above).
BUT the output apex chart keeps displaying … loading …
What am I doing wrong?
That’s hard to tell what is going wrong. N/A means not available I think? Follow the sensor: sensor.solar_panel_to_house_w. This is the Solar > Huis sensor. Is it named the same in your configuration? If not, then probably the other ones are also named different. Do al the sensors work if you recreate this dashboard: SolarEdge Modbus Multi config for Single Inverter, Battery and Backup Module/Meter - #4 by jrebergen
Hi,
Thank you. You gave me a hint: the sensors were not in my configuration.yaml under recorder. I put them in and … it works like a charm. Thank you so much.
Another question: the code in this feed of jul 28, 11 h (starting with this:
type: sections
max_columns: 3
title: Solar
path: solar
sections:
etc.
Does not work when I copy and past it. Any suggestion for that?
Thanks in advance
And this is how we slowly become experts, seek and learn! 
Great job finding the issue.
About the code, that’s the code of a tab in Home Assistant. Click on the ‘pencel’ to edit your dashboard. Then with the + create a new tab. Click on the 3 vertical dots in the upper right corner and choose ‘Edit in YAML’. Here you can paste that code. And just like that you’ve created a new tab.
Hey Guys,
I’m trying to get it running since months now and just found this thread. May I ask you to place me the entire code for the configuration.yaml here? I have tried too use the code from the first page here, but my energy dashboard still looks weird, please see my screenshots:
and
I hope I can finally get it running with your help now
Many thanks
If you want this thread to work, you must follow the steps as described. I see all the code in de configuration.yaml file. This could work, but then I or anybody else can’t help you. I created this thread with 2 things in mind: a solution for my specific sensor naming based on using ‘SolarEdge Modbus Multi’ and ease of use if you follow the steps. In step 3 and 4 of the first post (SolarEdge Modbus Multi config for Single Inverter, Battery and Backup Module/Meter) you see that you have to create 3 files in a folder called ‘solaredge’. So maybe try again, but follow the steps exactly. It should work then. 
Hello and thank you so much for this guide and your work. I have exactly this problem and am delighted to have found this solution, as I’ve already spent days trying to get usable data from my SolarEdge system into HA.
Unfortunately, I’m a complete beginner and am having trouble modifying the code to integrate two inverters and two batteries.
My Modbus configuration in HA looks like this:
Making the changes for one (the top) inverter (with the M1 meter) is no problem at all.
The question is: Should I create helpers for each sensor (and then sum the data) and then integrate these helpers into the YAML files? Or can I integrate both inverters directly into the YAML files?
Perhaps someone can help me?
I’d be happy to donate

Thank you very much!
Ouch, you’ve got a tricky one! I think this one goes above my head too. What I did initially was convert everything in the original files to the names I had. You have to do this again because you have I2 and B2 entities. But you also have a W2 device?
Converting everything in my files to your I2, I2 B1 and I2 M1 is doable. And looking at your screenshot, I2 is the same as w2 I3. And I2 B1 is the same as w2 I3 B1. But why these names are so different?
Could you ask the author of SolarEdge Modbus Multi if he has seen this before?
It would have made sense to me if you had a I1 with the B1 and M1 and then separate a I2 with a B1 or B2. But the W I don’t understand…
I have 2 inverters and one battery. You can see my full config here in my public GitHub repo:
Hope it helps point you in the right direction.
I was reading your question again and your question was if you should combine the 2 devices via helpers or in the yaml.
I think this is easier in a helper first. Then you can take the entities you want (you don’t need all for daily view) and make calculations. If these are correct, maybe you can make them definite in yaml?
Thanks for your answer and help!
And P6Dave: Thanks for your files.
I’m currently trying to adapt these settings so I can get it working, but unfortunately, I’m not making much progress. It’s a bit too complex for me—especially since your files are then located in different directories, and the other configuration doesn’t match the one in this thread.
Let me briefly explain the devices I’ve created for my Modbus integration:
I2: This is my primary inverter.
I2 B1: This is the primary inverter’s battery.
I2 M1: This is the main meter—it runs through the primary inverter.
W2 I3: This is my second, secondary inverter.
W2 I3 B1: This is the secondary inverter’s battery.
So, actually, it’s quite simple.
But overall, it’s probably too complex for me to adapt the files accordingly.
I’ve now adapted Dave’s files and placed them in a folder called “packages,” and I’ve added that folder to my config file.
Unfortunately, I’m still missing the second battery from my secondary inverter. I haven’t been able to add it yet.
Here are my files – perhaps someone can help me?
