Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Because of an additional, smal inverter without a smartmeter, when household power consumption ist lower then power of this inverter, the houshold-power goes negativ. there is no option to set "allow negative" in Settings für "Home".

Describe the solution you'd like Create an option for "House" with "allow negative"

Describe alternatives you've considered

There is a much easier solution: just add the solar production of the small inverter to your solar power. You can do this by creating a helper (group) of your solar power from the "big" inverter and the small inverter. Then the Power Flow Card Plus will automatically recalculate the house consumption. I did this at a friend of mine with a similar setup. Works like a charm!
