Why are some lines in services.yml for "grid" commented?

[stundenblume]

Hi Martin, do you know why the lines in services.yml for grid are commented? I have a very small installation (HM-600 / AhoyDTU, venusOS, Smartmeter / Tasmota) for a friend and would like to emulate a gridmeter. It seems to work, but the visualisation in VRM isn't nice.

thx Sebastian

... for example setting the "role" to "grid" wouldn't be possible with the current version of the service.yml. In remote console it looks good.

Hi Sebastian, I'm sorry I don't know whey those lines are commented. I rely heavily on community with these device settings.

I know I keep saying, but once other projects have quietened I am planning a update to the way services.yml works, that will allow multiple configuration for the same service type. Just need to find the time!

No problem! Removing the comments doesn't do anything.

By the way: I use "your temperature sensor" to display solar forecast. ;-)

I had to set N/.../system/0/Ac/ActiveIn/Source to 1 it was null

Can you tell what exactly you did?

Write via MQTT {"value": 1} to the topic N/.../system/0/Ac/ActiveIn/Source But it will be set back to null after some time.

But it will be set back to null after some time.

This just happens on a Raspberry Pi when the USB-Adapter (MK-3 USB) is not plugged in (in my case). But I still have the problem that I just have "AC Input" and no "Grid".

I thought I've had to set the role to grid (like @stundenblume already mentioned).

But nothing changes when setting Role to "grid". Any idea?
