Sunsynk + Home Assistant

Just converted from Solarman to Solar Assistant with the card. Battery animation is working inverse to what it should and can't see any power coming from the grid.

Anybody willing to share their working card config so I can compare?
 
Again a suggestion which if not wanted then feel free to disregard.

It would be great to have somewhere on the card to input and show in real time my current Meter reading which sits outside in the corner of my property.

Yes I shamefully spin my Meter back and am always having to go out and take a reading once or twice a day to make sure I am still ahead in units of the previous months submitted reading.

I could also then setup a push notification if I am say 10units or less than the previous months reading on the day I submit making it a nice streamlined process.

Not sure if anyone else would find it helpful??

For the battery make sure you have "invert_power" set to "yes".

This is my yaml (some of these things are custom sensors, like the daily energy values):

YAML:

cardstyle: lite
show_solar: 'yes'
battery:

Just remember to update to the new config if running ver >=2.0.0. Yes/No has changed to true/false and no/one/two/three/four has changed to 0/1/2/3/4. The documentation and examples have been updated to reflect this.

Thanks so much I see where I screwed up! I did notice the daily values coming from SA were taking ages to update and assume this is why you have custom?

Haven't updated mine yet.

Can you share an updated version?

You could use @DrJohnZoidberg version above as it works well. Not sure what he did with grid_connected_status_194: binary_sensor.inverter_grid_available but perhaps he can comment. Would also be worth mentioning daily sensors would need to be configured using the Utility meter so they can reset daily.

I'd first have to update to the latest version.

binary_sensor.inverter_grid_available is a custom template which just reports if the grid frequency is there (in my case I just check if it's > 40) to indicate a power outage as SolarAssistant doesn't have a sensor to indicate this.

YAML: 
- binary_sensor:
    - name: "inverter_grid_available"
      state: >
        {{ states('sensor.grid_frequency') | float > 40 }}

On my version there is a sensor from SA that does this

Which inverter do you have? Mine definitely doesn't have that.

I have a Deye 8kw and also don't have grid available as a sensor. MQTT shows 81 entities in HA

It does seem weird that it can't read from SA as it shows on the dash

Interesting. I see that there is no update available for my system

Device board:
Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W Rev 1.0
Software version:
2023-02-28

Maybe rolling out for different hardware at different times?

It’s possible… I AM also on the beta channel so got this update a while back
