Battery Power missing battery to grid #71

Closed adamwylde closed 1 year ago

adamwylde commented 1 year ago

Perhaps I'm misunderstanding what the various outputs in GivTcp mean, but the 'battery power' seems to reflect a positive/negative flow of power into/out of the battery (regardless of where its going)? However I find that it does not include exporting to the grid?

I'm trying to use that (perhaps incorrectly) as a guage in Home Assistant but when exporting it sits relatively idle whilst 'battery to grid' is registering the export:

Restarting GivTCP seems to have resolved this for now and the figures now make sense, although this is not the first time I've seen it happen.

The power flow stats (XX to XX) are derived values and as such are not always consistent, depending on sampling values. I tend not to rely too heavily on them
