"Last month" and "Last Year" labels incorrect #27

Closed matbe81 closed 2 years ago

matbe81 commented 2 years ago

"Last month" actually refer to current month while "Last Year" actually refer to current year.

Is it possible to correct those labels?

ecoen66 commented 2 years ago

Although this is standard SolarEdge labeling, I do agree. Updated in version 0.2.7. I did not change the config.json variable names - to avoid users having to edit their configs.

Thank you. Can I also suggest « Instant » in place of current power? Is it possible to have an alternative than displaying the values on Lux unit in place of the real one? Does all the exposed data are shown in HomeKit?

Thanks again for your great work!

The new version was published before my previous response. Apple HomeKit doesn't know how to display Watts. That's why I am using Lux. Other apps like Eve can display many additional parameters and values (such as Watts), but I haven't found the time to mess with that.

Thank for for clarifying.

My point of view is that you should stick on correct dans despite the home app cannot managed it. It should come on a near future. I’m’personally use the Home+ which is a good reference.

Maybe an alternative approche is to have a checkbox to choose which unit to expose like you do for KWh vs Watt?

Does all the API exposed data are exposed back in HomeKit? What about consumption and difference between production and consumption?

thanks again.

You cannot arbitrarily choose what to publish to HomeKit. You need to publish to a specific type of control - in this case, a light meter. I will not be attempting to change this.

I also do not have an inverter with metering. So, I won't be adding consumption or storage numbers.

However, anyone is free to fork my GitHub repository and add any features that they want.
