Economy Sensors - Too late startup! #29

Closed JensenNick closed 9 months ago

JensenNick commented 9 months ago

Feb 2024: Some economy sensors are dependent of a very specific input and may therefore not start up until all inputs have a value. This may result in a later initial start up of these sensors, resulting in not 100% conformity of all economy sensors.

Solution: It is therefore recommended to manually set energy sensors that do not show an initial value (within 5 minutes or so) to 0 (zero). The energy sensors are easily identified by the suffix _ps. Reset the energy sensors that has the value unknown / unavailable as described for the sensor sensor.energy_yield_2_ts - in the section Solar PV with a Single Inverter Setup in the README. Use the suffix _ps to do a search in "Filter entities". Wait to restart until you have a numeric value in all sensors. These are the three economy sensors to keep an eye on.

Issue fixed in v2.0.0. Each input has been created as template sensor with availability. The problematic sensors have been given a float(0j. Test show no "drop out" (sudden fall to 0) of the problematic sensors.
