Describe the issue you are experiencing

In the Energy Dashboard, the energy that has been charged into the battery is displayed as negative. However, the actual values are positive.

Describe the behavior you expected

I would expect a battery charge to be displayed as a positive value.

Steps to reproduce the issue

Just configured the values for Battery Charge and Battery Discharge.

Believe this is intended. Positive values are inputs to your home energy, and negative values are debits from your home energy.

Similarly to how energy from the grid is positive, and energy returned to the grid is negative.

I have a similar, should I say 'issue'!

Energy IN is what is stored in battery - may be from solar or grid (in which case, paid for). Energy Out indicates energy from the battery to home grid (essentially, free).

IN - OUT = Effective cost. For this to be a positive (so that it gets added to the other Gas, Water and Grid costs), IN > OUT and therefore IN has to be positive. Just how I view it...

PS: The Grid Import and Export works as intended..

Same here, I don't have solar, and am testing a simulated battery. I would assume to see charging (into the battery) as consumption, but it shows negative.

[tbrasser]

Adding a dummy (always 0) solar production template sensor helped a bit. Only thing that seems to be missing now is my grid export, resulting in all energy out of the battery counted as house consumption.

So is this the intended behavior (and thus my issue is with the simulated grid export of the battery_sim battery I'm testing)?

Is there any update/news on this issue? I feel like I still want my usage to be positive when the battery is charging of the grid. Looking for solutions...
