I don’t know if it’s an issue or not but I can’t see live flow from grid, solar etc, just seeing total over time. It would be great to see production right now

We do not intend to add power sensors to this integration, but the data is available to achieve what you want. The Battery SoC sensors contains power attributes, e.g.:

state_class: measurement
battery_power: -240
grid_power: -1740
solar_power: 1740
charge_peak_ac: 12.3
charge_peak_dc: 12.3
discharge_peak_ac: 12.3
discharge_peak_dc: 12.3
monthly_grid_peak_power: 446
unit_of_measurement: "%"
attribution: Data provided by CheckWatt EnergyInBalance
device_class: battery
friendly_name: Battery SoC

From this you can use templates in Home Assistant to created new sensors. This is documented in the Expert Section in the documentation of the integration

Alright! Thanks for the info. Have you hidden house consumption somewhere to? :)

I do not know what you mean with "house consumption".

The integration provides, optionally, all energy sensors required for the Home Assistant energy view.

There is a configuration option that you can enable in the integration that will create all energy sensors you need. This is also well documented in the manual.
