Diverted power in watts to EDDI

[waltonbp]

I have the EDDI HACs working in HA (thanks it work great) but I can't find any real time entity for "diverted power in watts"

This is needed to for display in grid cards to show the flow of power (the daily accumlative energy is kwh is avaialble)

This diverted power appears in the EDDI App and device display screen but not in the HACS HA ?

Could it be added ?

I found this in the MyEnergi-App-Api on GitHub

You’ll need to ask MyEnergi why they only issue Watt-hours rather than Watts as that value is not in the API !

Why would you want instantaneous power when energy is measured in the time domain of whr?

I want to add the EDDI power to grid .......EDDI is energy accumulation for the day not actual power flow - get the picture !!

But the information is not provided by the API !

I've got a dashboard that tells me where the watts are going at that moment I get this by using the grid CT outputs, is this what you are looking for? My feed for eddi comes from entity "myenergi eddi-[eddi serial no.] Internal Load CT1"

[LeiChat]

EDIT: the _internal_load_ct1 is the Watts being diverted AND/OR boosted, it's not purely a measurement of energy being used by the eddi from the grid. So, if you were boosting while excess PV generation (below the eddi's demand) was available the energy flow stuff in HA wouldn't be able to represent the split of energy source.

I'm using mushroom template cards for zappi and eddi that show various primary/secondary text depending on what they are doing. Like @fanfarestreak, I use the _internal_load_ct1 entity value to show the amount of energy the eddi is actively diverting/boosting. In the screenshot below, it's the zappi that's currently diverting.

I use the card_mod (available through HACS) to inject CSS animation to pulse the icon when the zappi or eddi are active.
