Sunsynk + Home Assistant

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

Code: 
load_power_L1: sensor.geyser_circuit_breaker_power

to

Code: 
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.

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?

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...
 
v7.0.0 Latest

What's Changed​

🚀 Exciting New Features

Performance & Efficiency Overhaul​

The card's performance has been optimized to feel more fluid, responsive, and efficient.
  • Smoother Visuals: The user interface now groups updates together, resulting in smoother animations and a less "jerky" experience.
  • Smarter Updates: The card now actively monitors only the devices and information visible on screen, significantly reducing unnecessary processing.
  • Optimized Rendering: Significant changes have been made to how visuals are rendered. This includes a much faster method for displaying icons and "guarding" complex interface parts so they are not re-drawn unless something changes.
  • Faster Initial Load: By pre-computing settings and caching visual templates, the card now loads much faster after the first time.
  • Conserved Resources: The card now pauses animations and data updates for off-screen elements or powered-off devices to save processing power.

Editor Experience Improvements​

The editor has been updated to be more intuitive, helpful, and clean.
  • More Guidance & Clarity: Helper text has been expanded throughout the editor to better explain what each option does.
  • Fewer Errors: The editor now sets limits on number fields, helping prevent invalid or out-of-range values.
  • A Smarter, Dynamic Interface: The editor is now more intelligent, hiding or showing certain options based on other selections. This keeps the interface clean and focused on what's important.
  • Improved Color Selection: The color pickers are now more reliable and show a live preview of your chosen colors, taking the guesswork out of customization.

It's there a dark mode and how does one view the dashboard full screen/monitor

Setting up for my pops

Thanks by that way. I've been dreaming of this!

Is this dark mode ok ?

In addition, you can put one card to be the whole dashboard

I'm running the SlipX Card. Love it!

I'm also using the SolarSynkV3 Add-On to get the data from SunSynk

https://github.com/martinville/solarsynkv3 , integrates directly with the SunSynk.net API


Screenshot from 2026-02-06 06-42-54.png

Additionally I recently added "GPTastic"
https://github.com/martinville/GPTastic which is an interface to ChatGPT.

You send a question to Home Assistant via MQTT topic

gptastic/incoming
Click to expand...

The received message is then passed onto ChatGPT via API (OpenAI)
And the response is then sent to an entity.

Example Question

Will it be sunny tomorrow morning in Pretoria at around 7 ? only respond with gptastic_usebattery,No or gptastic_usebattery,Yes
Click to expand...

gptastic_usebattery = The Entity Name
Yes/No = The value of the entity

I have an automation that will use the information to send settings to the inverter every evening before I activate the "Use Timer" in the evening to run off battery, I timed it just right to start charging in the morning when the sun is up. Offcoarse when it rains then the battery will charge from grid, un-wanted. So GPtastic will ensure it doesn't use the battery in the evening.

Probably makes no difference in actual cost but its still cool :-)

GPTastic is still a work in progress, if you find it usefull and have any ideas to improve it let me know I will try my best.
