Decided to bite the bullet and these are my findings so far;
- First create a full backup (I waited until the energy dashboard got it hourly update and made a back up straight after that).
- After the back up , follow the steps in the second post (delete the integration, restart HA…)
- The Enphase solar panels will be discovered automatically and a notification is given.
- Click the ‘Show discovered device’ (or something) in the notification and click ‘Configure’ in the integration screen where the Envoy Enphase Integrtion is discovered.
- Check the IP address that is show (should be the correct one) and fill in you Enphase Cloud user and password.
- After that all Enphase devices are visible and you are asked to add a room where these are located.
- Fill the rooms or leave blank and after that everything is OK and working.
What I have experienced is the following;
- The following entities are created;
(and with every ‘sensor.inverter_123456789’ an entity is created ‘_last_reported’) - The energy dashboard lifetime production entity from the old one is NOT the same as the ‘new entity’ so I had to add the new one (DO NOT DELETE THE OLD ONE, because this will delete the history from the energy dashboard of that ‘old’ entity. Be assured that it will not delete the data from the database so adding the old entity as a solar production, will make the history visible again).
- So now I have 2 entities in my energy dashboard, the old and the new one.
And for any custom cards or dashboards I have created in the past, I just had to select the new entity to replace the old one. But the cards and dashboards I have created do not show history or anything, therefore this issue described before does not apply here. But if you have custom cards with a history component, you will experience the same trouble as with the energy dashboard.
Do not know yet if there are more issues to follow, and I do not like having the old entity in my dahsboard while it does not do anything anymore other that for ‘history’ .
So not decided if I am going to do a roll back or just let this be.
Maybe someone knows how to rename the entity of the old data to the new entity, or another way to fix this?
Edit; did a roll back, mainly because I did not like the extra entity. Roll back was easy and making the switch to the core version was also easy. So if a solution is available I will try again.
