Strange behavior in energy calculation

Hi all

Today i observed a strange behavior in the energy calculation of my PV-System.
Everyday when the inverter turns on the energy meter (total_increasing) takes a big step forward.
Can someone explain this behavior?
The sensor is configured like this:

platform: integration
source: sensor.solar_power_pv1

The big step shows up like this:

Now it is clear why there is everyday a small deviation to the energy calculation of my smart-meter.

Cheers
Mat

Try this:

platform: integration
source: sensor.solar_power_pv1
method: left

@tom-l
Thanks for your fast reply.
Today there are no such jump again.
Now i need to search if i need to correct other sensors too.

Always amazing to get advise this fast from this nice HA-community.

Cheers
Matt

once you fixed your input counters, have you managed to replace the source utility meter or just started from scratch by defining a new utility meter here?

I just added method: left and restart HA.

I didn’t expect this to be that simple. I don’t want to think it’s unsupported, since it’s not possible to do it via gui, but works… exactly like it should. THANK YOU!
