Sunsynk + Home Assistant

If you change the view to panel view it should work better in landscape.

I can probably clean up some of this with the new card, but no chance for a panel only (only 5 tabs up top & not interested in another click for a sub-card)

Here you can also see the relative font size between the Power FLow & Power Distribution cards.

That is wayyyyy too much for me. I have my "home" tab, a tab for the alarm and then one for this slip's card.

My main panels are
- Home (lights/geyser/cameras/weather + alarm panel)
- Power
- Media (Sonos/ATV/Google homes+broadlink remote)
- Status (general/prepaid/speedtest/sunsynk program)
- Irrigation (some zones)

I should probably consider moving the irrigation & status panels to sub-panels, then I can add slip's card in a panel with a vertical stack for some additional sensors

Since the alram is mostly automated these days, its already on a sub-panel

There is quite a bit of duplicate / triplicate on your power dashboard. Probably some room to clean it up a touch if you want.
 
V1.4.6
Updates
Add new card option large_font: to increase the size of the displayed sensor data. Default is no. Set to yes to enable. See README and example card config for more information

Now everyone can be happy

Certainly happy, thanks!!

Indeed. I prefer to have the HA aggregated values, instead of the sensors from the inverter, as these are the ones that provides historical day/month/year stats

It also becomes very busy. Now its easy to explain. The one is happening now. The other one is a summary of the day. Passed the WAF test
 
Ok, so I am really dom.

At time of screenshot, it is 21:23 and my battery is discharging while there is Grid

I can't seem to find these sensors:-
1. Daily Battery Charge/Discharge Stats - Solar Assistant seems to provide weekly values via MQTT
2. Daily PV Gen stats. Solar Assistant seems to provide weekly values via MQTT
3. Daily Grid Buy

Perhaps I can just use the values from the energy dashboard - but can't figure out what they are called
1684438189825.png
How does one re-use the sensor values from the energy meter to populate the Sunsynk card - I would be happy with those even if they only update every hour? If it is better to create a utility meter or something, an example would really help . Thx in advance
 
As far as I know, @TedLasso the energy dashboard doesn't create the sensors, only displays them or they might be hidden. You need to create the sensors using, https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/utility_meter/. Here is a few examples of mine with the sunsynk addon.

YAML: 
utility_meter:
  daily_energy:
    source: sensor.ss_total_load_energy
    name: Daily Energy
    cycle: daily
  monthly_energy:
    source: sensor.ss_total_load_energy
    name: Monthly Energy
    cycle: monthly
  daily_solar_energy:
    source: sensor.ss_total_pv_energy
    name: Daily Solar Energy
    cycle: daily
  monthly_solar_energy:
    source: sensor.ss_total_pv_energy
    name: Monthly Solar Energy
    cycle: monthly
  daily_grid_energy:
    source: sensor.ss_total_grid_import
    name: Daily Grid Energy
    cycle: daily
  monthly_grid_energy:
    source: sensor.ss_total_grid_import
    name: Monthly Grid Energy
    cycle: monthly
  daily_battery_charge_energy:
    source: sensor.ss_total_battery_charge
    name: Daily Battery charge Energy
    cycle: daily
  monthly_battery_charge_energy:
    source: sensor.ss_total_battery_charge
    name: Monthly Battery charge Energy
    cycle: monthly  
  daily_battery_discharge_energy:
    source: sensor.ss_total_battery_discharge
    name: Daily Battery discharge Energy
    cycle: daily
  monthly_battery_discharge_energy:
    source: sensor.ss_total_battery_discharge
    name: Monthly Battery discharge Energy
    cycle: monthly

You would just need to replace the sensor.ss_xxxxxxxxx with your sensors

Heh?

Should be no need for utility meter at all, these all come straight from the inverter.

It depends on the integration used. Not of them provide the info or not even accurate.

Well if it’s not accurate utility meter isn’t going to change it.

Energy Dashboard works best with a total usage figure and works out the difference.

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
