I concur. Was thinking the same.
Battery is treated as one battery and showed as such.

Battery is treated as one battery and showed as such.
Does anyone know the difference between grid_power_169 and grid_ct_power_172? I have 2x 5kw Sunsynk inverters and my whole house is on essentials. I assume that to calculate the grid draw I need to combine the values from both inverters.
However when using the stats from a single inverter (master) I see that grid power and CT power values differ, does anyone know why this would be?

Thanks, do you know the correct options for inverter power (yellow 4.2kW in diagram) and essential load (green 4.5kW in diagram).
I set them to a custom sensor (adds inverter power from both inverters to get a total) but seems weird that the value differs. I have defined essential_power and nonessential_power in the card template (non-essential is always 0, as is aux).
It appears some math is done on the green value but doesn't make sense to me that it is higher than yellow, surely it would be the same or lower (if draw of the inverter itself is excluded from the essential load total).
Short answer - Unfortunately not.
Long answer - I'm using Slip's ESP code to pull the inverter values / settings into HA. But I'm using a fairly old version as I've had no reason to upgrade it ( i.e. it just works and serves my needs 100% ). I don't however use his power flow card. I know that with the later ESP code releases, he changed some of entity naming for consistency reasons. So I'd need to work out which of the new ESP entities map to which parts of the card.
A good few forumites use his power flow card. Hopefully they'll pick up on this question and be able to provide a quick answer as a result

Hi. You should use 172 assuming you have a CT coil installed. Since you have everything on essential that may not be the case. If not then you can use 169.
If you don't provide a sensor for Essential power it calculates is using the formula
essential = 175 + 169 - 166 some prefer to use essential = 175 + 167 -166
You could also use 178 which is load power. Below are the sensors mapped to the card placeholders
Thanks for the help. It seems that the slave inverter is pulling a constant 290-300w from the grid (it should be 10w for trickle feed) and thus that caused the unexpected difference with the inverter 175 and essential load values. Strangely this load is not being show on the CT clamp but is on the pre paid meter units.
I asked the installer to come check on it.
v6.3.0
Exciting New Features
- feat: display up to 6 MPPT's on the lite or compact card when `wide` view is enabled closes #586
**Full Changelog**: https://github.com/slipx06/sunsynk-power-flow-card/compare/v6.2.2...v6.3.0
v6.4.0
Exciting New Features
- feat: you can now assign entities to your essential loads that make the icons clickable. Useful if you want to turn a load on or off from the card. Set the entities using the load1_switch, load2_switch, load3_switch etc. attributes.

I ran some updates on my HA machine for the first time in a good while and now the sunsynk card isn't displaying anymore with error "custom element doesn't exist: sunsynk-power-flow-card".v6.3.0

I probably missed a breaking change somewhere. Where should I look for the solution?
EDIT: Redownloading the add-on in HACS worked.

It was with the recent update, v6.6.6

@Slip is there maybe some help that can be given regarding your dashboard? Tried loading it but just getting a blank screen. Haven't changed all the values but in the editor I am not getting any warnings re sensors or anything (which I would expect) and those that have been changed aren't being displayed.
Perhaps I'm missing an important step or will the dash not work at all if there are incorrectly configured entities?

The horseshoe breaks the dashboard if entities are not correct so perhaps remove those cards first. Also make sure you have all the required entities for the Sunsynk Power Flow Card.
I created a short clip on how to set it up some time back. https://photos.app.goo.gl/unhJubM2r4BkjW3A8
You can start by adding cards one by one

Managed to get mostly everything working. Still tinkering here and there but one of the graphs, even with the correct sensor, is showing undefined. Graph is the daily stats plotly.

Yes, no issues stated for the sensor.
The other sensor (load) is sorted now and displays.
Edit: After playing around with the statistics flag, I noticed that the solar sensor then displayed (albeit wrong) but everything else went into undefined. Reading on the plotly github, they make reference to specific statistics based on the sensor class.
deye_daily_production state_class is measurement which according to the plotly github the only options are min/mean and max which don't give the sum value. So either there is another flag in addition to these 3 or I need to change the sensor class, which I will probably do and see what happens.
Edit2: Looks like it's working now (state_class changed to total_increasing). Sadly data only showing from now which makes sense.
