All energy battery out counted as self consumption. #129

I have no solar yet, and all energy leaving the battery is accounted for as self-consumption, instead off showing simulated export to the grid.

Is this because the calculation for this needs solar generation present, any way I can work around this?

Do you mean in the energy dashboard?

Yes.

I think I have circumvented it now by creating 2 template sensors:

fake solar power production: 1W (updating each minite)

fake grid export power: 1W (updating each minute)

Then 2 integral helpers on that to get energy in kWh

Added the fake grid export energy as export sensor on the battery_sim

Added the fake solar energy as solar in energy dashboard, and now it seems better:

Hope today to have a full charge/discharge cycle to see if the numbers add up.

Ah I see. Interesting problem. I'm not sure if that is something I can fix within the battery sim itself. Glad you found a work around.
