Use of input.number for max Power #22

Closed HABen91 closed 3 months ago

HABen91 commented 3 months ago

Is it possible to Switch the max Power setting from beeing a "number" to an "Input.number"? This would allow to use a standard Automation to increase/decrease the value by increments. Doing this allows to realize a zero return regulation to optimize power usage when using a Powerbank.

As far as I am aware, HA doesn't differentiate between these types. Could you please link some docs regarding that?

Hey,Here are some links to HA Dokumentation:https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/number/ https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/input_number/ In the attached Screenshot you will find the offered options to manipulate the different "kinds" of Numbers.Am 26.03.2024 21:50 schrieb Marlon @.***>: As far as I am aware, HA doesn't differentiate between these types.

That's not how it works. Here's a screenshot showing you how to achieve your goal: Screenshot_20240326-221903_Home Assistant

The issue hast not been understood. The offered solution allows only fixed values but not incremantally reacting on other criteria.

Incrementing in watt-steps won't make sense as the inverter takes 1-2 seconds. Additionally, you seem to confuse the way HA integrations are built in contrast to helper integrations. There are 3 solutions:

  1. Use spook: https://spook.boo/number
  2. Use templates to increment the value
  3. Somebody spends time adding a custom service to this integration for this exact purpose and I won't be spending that time as I personally wouldn't benefit from that.
