What is the entity for the total solar prodcution in the energy dashboard
I want to use this value as a sensor value and in a graph but I can’t find the entity name for this.
Same for gas, …
The energy dashboard graphs are generated from long term statistics when needed for display.
The statistics are saved for whatever entities you specified for the energy dashboard.
So you can use those entities if all you want is the total. If you want hourly/daily/weekly/monthly/yearly totals you will have to use Utility meter helpers with these entities.
I’m looking for the total value of solar energy. I have 8 PV inverters and want to use the total solar production in kwh. I could calculate it myself but it should be there already.
Nope. As I said:
The dashboard does not create a “total” entity for your eight entities.
You will have to calculate it yourself with a template sensor.
Ah ok, thanks for the info.
