v6.7.0

🚀 Exciting New Features

  • feat: added new inverter models for EASun, Ferroamp, Sigenergy and Linky closes #657, #579
  • feat: six essential loads can now be displayed on the card without the need for wide screen display mode if certain conditions are met i.e. mppt <=3 on lite card and !show_aux on full card etc closes #635

@Slip

I have a couple non-essentials running off sonoffs or dedicated wifi breakers. They do not use the "sensor" prefix.

For example, to leverage a card for my geyser and see the power consumption, I use the below:

type: attribute
icon: mdi:non
name: Power
entity: switch.100223f4de
attribute: power

which leverages the attribute.

Any suggestions on how to add these as the non-essential load values? Maybe I need to create a fake sensor that just mirrors that attribute?
 
ah nvm, solved it with a template helper.

If anyone has the same sonoff/ewelink switches where the values are attrbutes:

Template forumula --> {{ state_attr('switch.100223f4de', 'power').split(' ')[0] | float }}

yes I'm lazy, did it via the GUI vs editing configuration.yaml.....
 
@Slip

I just can't seem to figure this out but have at times got it to work, but then the wrong thing was pumping the values.

Trying to add the additional loads but just don't get any output.

Oddly when I click on the icon for the geyser it takes me to the sensor, but when I click on the value it just does nothing which tells me something isn't linking up.

Would also be interested to know how to get the extra values you have showing on the Github page below in there for kWh and temperature as I could do away with some other screen entirely and just use yours. Found those extra values in the docs, seems they are code only and not in the GUI.

Okay this just wasn't all in one place where I thought it should be and figured it out now....this is what happens when you rely too much on the GUI instead of doing stuff by hand.

The entities I had populated with Power were literally the Switch entities which I'm guessing let's you turn these on and off with a press on the icon.

The actual load values according to the GUI are sitting in a completely separate section and populates essential_load1: whereas I was populating load1_switch: instead.

I don't have non-essentials so almost feel like that could be causing a problem.

Is it not perhaps due to the compact card style?

Was my first through as well, but these list on the compact style on the Github page too and don't show in either Lite or Full either.

Well they show, they just don't pass that live data.

I have the same. I just left it, did not dig deeper.

So I was adding my Power sensor to the Switch entitles because the GUI made it seem logical.

Only after reading properly did I realise the power sensor is somewhere else altogether.

Updated my post with the correct stuff.

It all lives under load: in the code, but the GUI configuration splits it out. It's also called essential in one place but not the other.

Code: 
load:
  colour: green
  show_daily: true
  show_aux: false
  invert_aux: false
  dynamic_colour: true
  auto_scale: true
  dynamic_icon: true
  additional_loads: 3
  invert_flow: false
  invert_load: false
  load1_icon: mdi:water-boiler
  load1_switch: switch.geyser
  essential_load1: sensor.geyser_temperature
  essential_load1_extra: sensor.geyser_energy
  load2_icon: mdi:dishwasher
  load2_switch: switch.dishwasher_socket
  load3_icon: mdi:tumble-dryer
  load3_switch: switch.tumble_dryer_socket

So load1_icon, load1_switch and essential_load1 all refer to the same thing.

Can't use the Energy values as I use Home Assistant Energy dashboard to calculate my Daily totals instead of utility meter. **** knowns why you can't just access that data directly as a sensor.
 
Hi @SauRoNZA

Sensor's are all defined in the respective `entities` section. The "configurable" options which have evolved over time are meant to be defined the respective "Options" section. If you configure through the gui it will put everything in its correct section.

Your config is not entirely correct. Its only the switches that are defined in the load options The essential loads and and extra load info is created under the entities section

Code: 
load:
  colour: green
  show_daily: true
  show_aux: false
  invert_aux: false
  dynamic_colour: true
  auto_scale: true
  dynamic_icon: true
  additional_loads: 3
  invert_flow: false
  invert_load: false
  load1_icon: mdi:water-boiler
  load1_switch: switch.geyser
  load2_icon: mdi:dishwasher
  load2_switch: switch.dishwasher_socket
  load3_icon: mdi:tumble-dryer
  load3_switch: switch.tumble_dryer_socket

Highlighted the different sections in the gui

If you prefer to use the code editor the documentation has examples that can help guide you. They have not been updated with some of the newer options

Yeah it’s the documentation that for me on the right track.

Weird, it works just fine under the load section and I swear the GUI put it there.

It will only work if defined under entities. :)
 
Hi Guys,
Trying to follow through the pages to add my batteries, is there any change in the near future where more than 2 batteries could be added?

Obviously my entity names will probably differ and there are some custom entities here (like for energy usage) which you'd have to create. I also haven't touched this in ages, so not sure if everything is still as it should be but seems to be working.
