Battery Production / Consumpsion issue with flows

[tomcoleman]

I have the battery code set as the following..

` type: custom:power-flow-card-plus entities: grid: entity: consumption: sensor.solax_grid_import production: sensor.solax_grid_export solar: entity: sensor.solax_pv_power_total battery: entity: consumption: sensor.solax_battery_power_charge production: sensor.solax_battery_power_charge state_of_charge: sensor.solax_battery_capacity

`

In this example battery consumption: sensor.solax_battery_power_charge and battery production: sensor.solax_battery_power_charge are the same value.

My Solax battery does not show the real time in/out the sensor just shows realtime usage which at the time can be + or -

So if i use the above code for the batts it screws with the flow of the balls & maths.

From the readme:

[tomcoleman]

so using the above what would the code be for

entity: consumption: sensor.solax_battery_power_charge production: sensor.solax_battery_power_charge state_of_charge: sensor.solax_battery_capacity

[flixlix]

It would look like this:

[...]

battery:
  entity: sensor.solax_battery_power_charge
  state_of_charger: sensor.solax_battery_capacity

[...]

And in case the values for the battery are going in the opposite way:

[...]

battery:
  entity: sensor.solax_battery_power_charge
  state_of_charger: sensor.solax_battery_capacity
# at the end of the config
inverted_entities: battery

[...]

battery:
  entity: sensor.solax_battery_power_charge
  state_of_charger: sensor.solax_battery_capacity

[...]

battery:
  entity: sensor.solax_battery_power_charge
  state_of_charger: sensor.solax_battery_capacity
# at the end of the config
inverted_entities: battery

using this code

            type: custom:power-flow-card-plus
            entities:
              grid:
                entity:
                  consumption: sensor.solax_grid_import
                  production: sensor.solax_grid_export
              solar:
                entity: sensor.solax_pv_power_total
              battery:
                entity:
                   #consumption: sensor.solax_battery_power_charge
                   #production: sensor.solax_battery_power_charge
                state_of_charge: sensor.solax_battery_capacity

shows only the % of the battery not what is going in/out in terms of power.

you forgot to put the entity id next to the entity: property. Try this:

            type: custom:power-flow-card-plus
            entities:
              grid:
                entity:
                  consumption: sensor.solax_grid_import
                  production: sensor.solax_grid_export
              solar:
                entity: sensor.solax_pv_power_total
              battery:
                entity: sensor.solax_battery_power_charge
                state_of_charge: sensor.solax_battery_capacity

ok put that in and now shows house load as 0 and balls flying from solar > batt ( which isnt right)

[tomcoleman]

ignore that got it working

how ever when i add the BMW i3 in it thinks its charging it

entity: sensor.i3_120_remaining_battery_percent

[flixlix]

Please read the readme, it's right there. https://github.com/flixlix/power-flow-card-plus#secondary-info-configuration The entity providing the battery percentag should be in secondary_info. The Main entity is the power of the individual device

THANK YOU!!

me being a muppet i have put the % sign on it but it still thinks energy is going into the car with the blue ball going from house to car

You can't have two entity properties. Please try this:

              individual1:
                entity: sensor.myenergi_zappi_20197616_internal_load_ct1
                secondary_info:
                  entity: sensor.i3_120_remaining_battery_percent
                  unit_of_measurement: "%"
                icon: mdi:car-electric
                color: '#80b8ff'
                name: BMW i3
                color_icon: false

                color_icon: false

that code makes the icon disapear

Please read the documentation, you would save both of us time.

              individual1:
                entity: sensor.myenergi_zappi_20197616_internal_load_ct1
                secondary_info:
                  entity: sensor.i3_120_remaining_battery_percent
                  unit_of_measurement: "%"
                icon: mdi:car-electric
                color: '#80b8ff'
                name: BMW i3
                color_icon: false
                display_zero: true

The icon is not appearing, because your car isn't charging. Set display_zero to true to always show the device

sorry thanks , one of those days. got about 600 windows open.

No problem 👍 Can the issue be closed?

just one more I used to have a cloud sensor showing % of cloud for the day

if i add this to the solar section is that right?

              solar:
                name: Solar Panels
                icon: mdi:solar-power
                entity: sensor.solax_pv_power_total
                secondary_info:
                  entity: sensor.openweathermap_cloud_coverage
                  unit_of_measurement: "%"

Unfortunately, secondary_info is not yet available for sections other than the individual devices. But yes, when this feature is eventually released, that would be how you would configure it
