Sunsynk + Home Assistant

Hey guys. Just a headsup - the sensor names have changed on the new solcast update.
 
Hi All

2.5.1 has been released. The card can now be configured to hide all battery information if you don't have any energy storage. I've also fixed the display of additional essential loads when show_solar and/or show_battery attributes are set to false. The can be configured for both the lite and full version of the card. Some pics below.

2.6.0 lets you add an optional card title and set the font colour and size

YAML: 
title: Sunsynk Inverter
title_colour: Grey
title_size: 32px

So I just scored a Pi. Just the device and power, no sd card.

Without going through the whole thread, is there a quick dummy's guide? The part about loading home assistant onto the pi seems straightforward. What's the next steps?

Pretty much everything on the website is all you need to do, not much else.

Unless you meant specifically for the Sunsynk add-on?

Did something change with regards to the daily solar/left today? For some reason mine isn't showing any more and everything appears to be in order according to the docs.

I'm NOT using Solarman however, just the built-in HA Forecast.

Yeah which add-ons are people using, how do you get that package onto HA etc...

So if you are doing the standard Pi install then you'll get the Home Assistant Add-on Store (HACS) built right in and in most cases you can just search for stuff there to add them or in the odd case you need to add a custom repo, which is usually documented pretty well on Github for the relevant things.

Off top of my head things in my installation that are bare minimum...

Sonoff LAN (locally controls Sonoff devices on original firmware)
Frigate (Manages cameras but NOT going to work on you Pi)
Aqara Gateway (probably irrelevant if you aren't using their stuff)
Temperature Feels Like
Load Shedding
Dual-Mode Generic Thermostat (the default doesn't talk to both hot and cold stuff)

Front end there are a million things you can install but I would say stick to Vanilla as far as you can go and not to worry about making it pretty just yet.

Then Add-ons are a separate thing and basically Dockers and there I have...

Adguard Home
Advanced SSH & Web Terminal
Duck DNS
File Editor
Frigate
Home Assistant Google Drive Backup
MariaDB
Mosquito Broker
Nginx Proxy Manager
Studio Code Server
Sunsynk/Deye Inverter Add-on (Multi)
TasmoAdmin (Using Tasmota less and less and unlikely to flash new things with it)
Zigbee2MQTT (Also phasing this out slowly but surely in favour of Aqara)

Then there's a built-in ones....

Apple TV
Forecast Solar
Generic Camera
Homekit Bridge
LG Soundbar
LG webOS Smat TV
MQTT
OpenWeatherMap
Samsung Smart TV
Shelly
Sonoff
Tasmota
Transmission
Tuya
UniFI Network
UPnp/IGD
Waze Travel Time
Workday
Yeelight

I'd say get it up and running and then poke around and in time it will kind of answer itself depending on devices you have and things you want to do.

Thanks for this. It's probably going to be primarily inverter related for now, and putting rules into place for the geyser based on LS schedules...

No changes. What's not displaying?
Maybe check that the sensor you are using for remaining_solar: is correct?

So it's just missing from the solar area. I didn't change anything but updated the card a few times so not sure when it disappeared.

Always used my PV Forecast Today value and it worked it out by itself, presumably subtracting Production from that value.

remaining_solar: sensor.energy_production_today

Changing it to energy_production_today_remaining which is from the Forecast still shows blank.

Are the three decimals maybe an issue?

*****

For a moment thought it was HA's new stupid logic of removing sensor. from entities when copying manually but it's not that.

But actually just noticed the Grid and Battery daily parts are missing as well.

Solution : Single quotes were deprecated, just remove them from config.

You need to remove all the backticks ' from your true and false. e.g.

YAML: 
type: custom:sunsynk-power-flow-card
cardstyle: lite
panel_mode: false
show_solar: true
inverter:
  modern: true
  colour: black

Aaah just found it about 5 second before hitting refresh.

Seems to be all sorted now Thanks!
 
Anyone with an updated kellerza config for the flow card?

@Slip Seems to be a bug with the the grid power, if I update the :

grid_ct_power_172: sensor.ss_grid_power

to that i see the power from the grid like:

1694701642970.png

grid_power_169:

does nothing from what I can see.

That's by design. 169 is only used on the full card to calculate non-essential power/essential power. Not grid power.

nonessential = grid_ct_power_172 - grid_power_169
essential = inverter_power_175 + grid_power_169 - aux_power_166

I've just pushed 2.6.1. Battery power and current are now displayed as reported by the sensor. If you prefer the absolute values you can use the `show_absolute: true` battery setting.
 
Which integration does @Slip's dashboard use for all the cards?

github.com

GitHub - slipx06/Sunsynk-Home-Assistant-Dash: Home Assistant Dashboard to display Inverter information. ESPHome configuration to collect inverter sensor data via modbus

Home Assistant Dashboard to display Inverter information. ESPHome configuration to collect inverter sensor data via modbus - slipx06/Sunsynk-Home-Assistant-Dash
github.com github.com

I'm pulling through the data using kellerza's integration but the naming convention is slightly different so I'd have to manually do a search and replace. But there also seems to be some sensors missing from the cards...
