Sunsynk + Home Assistant

Have a look here: https://github.com/kellerza/sunsynk/issues/122

Energy dashboard is best way, but it doesn't create the daily sensors to use with the sunsynk card. That is why creating the sensors with utility meter to display in the card, is needed. If you want it there

But the card doesn’t use monthly anyway.

And the daily sensors come directly from inverter.

And yes, Energy Dashboard is the right answer, no faffing with other kak required.

Which integration/addon are you using for your setup ?

I use the monthly sensors for something else, just copied it from my configuration and didn't take it out.
 
Thanks @w1tw0lf.

I had tried originally to built the utility meter using PV energy and PV Power from solar assistant , with a daily reset (using the delta option too) and the value is just nuts .. tried again yesterday with same output.

I need to make a request again to the solar assistant team to expose the daily values via MQTT, so that ou's like me , can just get on with it. Don't know why they only expose weekly values

Though on the other hand, I already see now that I use Slips card, I am not going into Solar assistant so much. Screenshot_20230520_084336_Home%20Assistant.jpgScreenshot_20230520_084654_Home%20Assistant.jpg
 
@TedLasso It seems like you using the wrong sensor on the 1st screenshot.

This might be easier, go to settings, devices & services, helpers and click on "+ creater helper" in the bottom right. Scroll down and select utility meter. Give it a name, the input sensor must have measurement in kwh, like on your second screen "Grid energy in". Set reset cycle to daily. Switch off, "Periodically resetting" and click submit. That should do it then.

Ah okay. As per the issue from github shared, the monthly one gave issues, most likely why I ended up using both daily and monthly sensors created with utility meter.

Yeah that was my confusion since the card only uses daily.

Since Energy Dashboard I have no need for utility meters at all.

No worries...

Have it on this card on mobile to keep the minister of finance happy, where I use it.

Now she can she on her phone what the energy cost would have been if we didn't go solar and "skip" loadshedding with it. Planning on adding 2 more battries to take us "off grid" most of the time.

Would be nice if energy Dashboard exposed its values for that use case.

So that was my mistake. Using a W/V sensor and not a kWh sensor. I've created them all as you suggested and now will wait for tomorrow to see what they generate. The fact that 5 minutes later none of them show a value - I think is a very good sign :)

It should start showing values in about an hour and will update once an hour.

That is a cool page. Thanks to your help - mine 'Slip' card is now fully populated too. Thanks Sir!!

Note: Daily values off as they only started populating from 2pm onwards

I'm actually struggled with accessing the custom sensors that are created using kellerza's docs.

Code: 
from sunsynk import AMPS, CELSIUS, KWH, VOLT, WATT
from sunsynk.rwsensors import NumberRWSensor, SelectRWSensor, TimeRWSensor
from sunsynk.sensors import (
    MathSensor,
    Sensor,
    SensorDefinitions,
    TempSensor,
)

SENSORS = SensorDefinitions()

SENSORS += (
        Sensor(186, "PV1 power", WATT, -1),
        Sensor(187, "PV2 power", WATT, -1),
        MathSensor((175, 169, 166), "Essential power", WATT, factors=(1, 1, -1), absolute=True),
        Sensor(172, "Grid Ct Power", WATT, -1),
        Sensor(178, "Load power", WATT, -1),
        Sensor(190, "Battery power", WATT, -1),
        MathSensor((172, 167), "Non-Essential power", WATT, factors=(1, -1), no_negative=True),
        )

I used the above code. When starting the add-on, it shows that the custom sensors have been imported, however they do no appear in under Develop tools in HA.

Nice card, mind sharing the config? I am the minister of finance in my house but this would be useful for the KwH impaired at home.

You don't necessarily need to add them to mysensors.py. You need to add the ones you want from here in the configuration section of the add-on: 1684765933824.png
You can just type in the relevant sensor name in `SENSORS` and hit then enter. Repeat for each sensor then hit save and restart.

EDIT: adding sensors to the mysensors.py file just makes them available to add as described above, you still need to follow the same process to get them into Home Assistant.

Really loving this card. Would it be possible to replace the "battery runtime" with a "time until full" countdown when the battery is charging?
