You can change the id name in entities to make it more unique.

Ye, I know. It's not really bugging me.

Gud lawd Look at all that yaml code!

Hence I don't mess with it now

 

[Hotfuzz]

I made mine very basic and my wife still doesn't understand it


Then I made her this which she says she does understand. She clearly doesn't think in pictures.



Evidence still shows that she will turn on the tumble dryer at 6PM when the sun goes down

That "issue/problem/thing" is universal. Happens to all.

Yip and on rainy days we also have unlimited power...

Trying to add my geyser as an additional load (L1) but I cannot figure out why it's not working. Neither the switch or load power entities are working.

The main parts under the load section are:

load1_name: Geyser
load1_icon: mdi:water-boiler
load1_max_threshold: 3000
load1_switch: switch.geyser_circuit_breaker_none

And the entities section:

load_power_L1: sensor.geyser_circuit_breaker_power

I can see the load in the card but its state is just 0 and clicking it doesn't do anything:

You don't have 3 phase. Change this

load_power_L1: sensor.geyser_circuit_breaker_power

to

essential_load1: sensor.geyser_circuit_breaker_power

 

[DrJohnZoidberg]

You don't have 3 phase. Change this

load_power_L1: sensor.geyser_circuit_breaker_power

to

essential_load1: sensor.geyser_circuit_breaker_power

Ahh, okay. I confused the L1 with load 1 instead of realising this was for 3 phase (the documentation could maybe be more clear on this).

Thanks, it's working now! I also didn't realise that Essential Loads = Additional Loads, thought they were two different things.

 

[DrJohnZoidberg]

You don't have 3 phase. Change this

load_power_L1: sensor.geyser_circuit_breaker_power

to

essential_load1: sensor.geyser_circuit_breaker_power

Related question, do you know how to add Energy consumption values to these loads?

Nevermind, found it!

essential_load1_extra: sensor.geyser_circuit_breaker_energy_daily

I now have inverter_ prepended to all my sunsynk sensors.
Anyone know why this would happen? And how should I fix it?

Likely your integration updated and the entity names changed accordingly.

Check the Add-on settings for the value of 'HA_PREFIX'

I made mine SS which caused is slightly shorter than Synsynk.

But if you want to completely remove it, you probably can...
