Hello @vinietu do you want the accessory to be configurable? Are you referring to the temp sensor accessory or the production of energy?

Hello @dblommesteijn thanks for replay. I think all values are important when it comes to such an important equipment so it will be perfect to see all three ones on a tile in HK. I saw in different inverter plugin that they are using lightbulb accessory to show data (https://github.com/longzheng/homebridge-fronius-inverter-lights#readme)

Sure I understand, this plugin is not as far as to show all data yet. Furthermore, lightbulb accessories are controllable, so if you set the brightness HK expects a value to be set. However, the inverter is passive and will only show data (there is no way to control values), hence I opted for the light-sensor accessory.

Yes yes I get it but it looks pretty good :) and there you have all data in your main dashboard. I'm also using this script from https://github.com/mletenay/home-assistant-goodwe-inverter and run inverter_test.py. To sum up thanks for this plugin and if you ever consider upgrading it will be always very appreciated :)

It does look good indeed. I'll consider it when releasing the next version, thanks for the tip.
