Current House Load Power

[BeardyBrah]

Hi again @djansen1987, Hoping to continue assisting with anything I'm finding from my end. I've noted I can't see a 'Current Home Load/Power' statistic to read how much the home is using throughout the day.

a few unrelated finds; sensor.esolar_solarpower should also have the suffix kWp.

sensor.esolar_gridpower doesn't seem to know if it's importing power or exporting power (in Watts). In either direction it reads as a positive number either way.

sensor.esolar_batterydirection has a number as a value, I've found -1 is Charging from PV, 1 means Discharging to home, 0 means standby/not currently being used. Can the value it outputs be changed to 'CHARGING / DISCHARGING / STANDBY' ?

Thanks mate! Love your work

Extra info that may help.

Hey @djansen1987 Can I be of any further assistance on this one? Need any extra information?

Hi @BeardyBrah, december has been a busy month. Hope to find time in januari to take a look at it

Hi @BeardyBrah,

Thanks for the enhancement and details below the answers:

I've noted I can't see a 'Current Home Load/Power' statistic to read how much the home is using throughout the day.

it was not added to the H1 module and is added in the upcoming update, add resource: totalLoadPower

a few unrelated finds; sensor.esolar_solarpower should also have the suffix kWp.

For what i can find this is in Watt not in kWp

sensor.esolar_gridpower doesn't seem to know if it's importing power or exporting power (in Watts). In either direction it reads as a positive number either way.

this can be known by the following sensor: outPutDirection If i am correct in the esolar portal the number is also always positive. I understand your thoughts, for now not planning to change this.

sensor.esolar_batterydirection has a number as a value, I've found -1 is Charging from PV, 1 means Discharging to home, 0 means standby/not currently being used. Can the value it outputs be changed to 'CHARGING / DISCHARGING / STANDBY' ?

Changed in update 1.2.8

Hi @BeardyBrah

I was wondering if it is working for you and if i can close the issue ?

[BeardyBrah]

Hi mate, Just saw this now. Heres what mine displays

[BeardyBrah]

Updated my configuration.yaml to include totalLoadPower, fixed. Looking good

Great! Thanks for pointing out! Have a great weekend!
