Current House Load Power
Closed this issue · 8 comments
Hi again @djansen1987,
Hoping to continue assisting with anything I'm finding from my end. I've noted I can't see a 'Current Home Load/Power' statistic to read how much the home is using throughout the day.
a few unrelated finds;
sensor.esolar_solarpower should also have the suffix kWp.
sensor.esolar_gridpower doesn't seem to know if it's importing power or exporting power (in Watts). In either direction it reads as a positive number either way.
sensor.esolar_batterydirection has a number as a value, I've found -1 is Charging from PV, 1 means Discharging to home, 0 means standby/not currently being used. Can the value it outputs be changed to 'CHARGING / DISCHARGING / STANDBY' ?
Thanks mate! Love your work
Extra info that may help.
pvPower: 54.00 #PV being generated
gridPower: 63.00 #feeding to grid realtime
inputOutputPower: 546.00 #dont know what this is
batteryPower: 1006.00 #battery discharging in W
totalLoadPower: 997.00 #real time home power usage
homeLoadPower: 550.00 #dont know what this is
backupLoadPower: 447.00 #dont know what this is
batCurr:19.50 #dont know what this is
batEnergyPercent: 28.00 #battery state of charge
pvDirection:1 #currently outputting
gridDirection:1 #currently exporting to grid
batteryDirection:1 #currently discharging
outPutDirection:1 #dont know what this is
Hey @djansen1987
Can I be of any further assistance on this one? Need any extra information?
Hi @BeardyBrah, december has been a busy month. Hope to find time in januari to take a look at it
Hi @BeardyBrah,
Thanks for the enhancement and details below the answers:
I've noted I can't see a 'Current Home Load/Power' statistic to read how much the home is using throughout the day.
it was not added to the H1 module and is added in the upcoming update, add resource: totalLoadPower
a few unrelated finds;
sensor.esolar_solarpower should also have the suffix kWp.
For what i can find this is in Watt not in kWp
sensor.esolar_gridpower doesn't seem to know if it's importing power or exporting power (in Watts). In either direction it reads as a positive number either way.
this can be known by the following sensor: outPutDirection
If i am correct in the esolar portal the number is also always positive. I understand your thoughts, for now not planning to change this.
sensor.esolar_batterydirection has a number as a value, I've found -1 is Charging from PV, 1 means Discharging to home, 0 means standby/not currently being used. Can the value it outputs be changed to 'CHARGING / DISCHARGING / STANDBY' ?
Hi @BeardyBrah
I was wondering if it is working for you and if i can close the issue ?
Hi mate,
Just saw this now. Heres what mine displays
Updated my configuration.yaml to include totalLoadPower, fixed. Looking good
Great! Thanks for pointing out! Have a great weekend!
