Thanks. You need to change invert_power: 'yes' to invert_power: true . By default it is set to false

Will just remove it, if i set it to true it shows the battery is charging when its actually discharging.
 
It doesn't come with Solar Assistant (connected to SunSynk 8KVA)

While my MQTT broker shows this below, I built those via 'threshold' helper in HA which is very easy to do via the GUI.

Here's is the config for my threshold helper called 'Grid Power Available'

@Slip I got a wierd bug. I updated but now its showing four mppts even though I still have it set to two? Also the autarky flag is still respecting 'no' vs false.

Hi

one/two/three/four changed to 1/2/3/4.
autarky is slightly different because the accepted options have strings in it. i.e power/energy/no and because of the type using no is fine.

Just a thought @Slip if a person choses 2 vs 3/4 for solar, can the panel be moved down a bit, so its not such a big space and ads padding to the top figures?

Not as drastic as this, just a decent seperation between the daily/forecast and the top mppts if < 3 .

Hi. That will require a bit of coding effort but I will keep in mind for future improvements.
 
For those of you using solarman, I've updated the card to support the native grid connected sensor and the Off-Grid and On-Grid values. If you'd like to test you can download v2.3.0
 
Why would my autarky go haywire at night? During the day it's fine. This started happening after the last updated earlier this week.

Have you guys discussed Solar Assistant and the latest 2023.8 Home Assistant update?

Specifically the naming of the MQTT entities.

It's now coming through with the device name prefixed to the entity name.

I emailed the Solar Assistant developer.

I think they need to remove the device name from the HA discovery topic.

Strange. Please open an issue on Github. Also check that you are using the updated card config. A few things changes from version 2.0.0

You should also check you essential and non-essential sensors. Are you providing these or allowing the card to calculate them?

] suddenly I have PV3 and PV4 showing up blank in my card, even though they aren't in my configuration at all.

Any way to purposely hide them again?

SOLUTION

Code: 
solar:
  colour: orange
  show_daily: 'yes'
  mppts: 2
