Issue with delay on "sensor.solis_total_consumption_power" #337

Closed ccj2740 closed 3 months ago

ccj2740 commented 6 months ago

Hi ,

First I wanna thank you for this great solis-sensor code very good work. I enjoy it very much and start using for home automations with EV charge as well.

Solis changed my refresh time from 5min to now 1min and I have changed: SCHEDULE_OK = 1

It works with most sensor and they refresh every 1min, but sensor "Solis Total Consumption power" seems to still refresh every 5min. This give me a huge problem as my "Solis Power Grid total power" is updating every 1min and then I get wrong battery status/charge since the load is on "Sensor.solis_total_consumption_power" is delayed.

Here you can see the problem: powerflow

To the left is Solis Power Grid total power and right is Solis Total Consumption power, In Solis cloud app I checked that both these is updating every 1min.

Hope some here have a good idea what I could , so it refresh every 1min. I know alternative is that I buy the Solis DLS-L LAN stick , but then I need to do modbus work and that seems to complicated for me, so I really really hope I can use hultenvp solis-sensor and get refresh every 1min :).

Looking forward for reply :).

I noticed the same issue when moving to the latest version of the integration a few days ago. Previously I was using v3.4.3 and it was taking my sensor data every 1 minute for the "Solis Total Consumption power". It's only after I've finally got round to upgrade to v3.5 that this issue has manifested itself. I've looked over the data files and can't see that there's been anything other than a few sensors added, so not sure what's caused this. I have rolled back the integration to v3.4.3 as I'm not using the new sensors that were added, and can confirm that it has now started to update the "Solis Total Consumption power" sensor every 1 minute.

Actually, I have now found a change in the SolisCloud_api.py file. In v3.4.3 the "Solis Total Consumption power" (or in the file shown as GRID_TOTAL_CONSUMPTION_POWER is in the Inverter Detail section. In v3.5 this moved to the Plan Detail section. The plant detail section only updates every 5 mins, even if you have 1 min intervals set. This is the case on the website too I believe.

You can see what I mean in this image: image

Not sure if there was a specific reason to move those to Plan Detail or not, but that I believe is why this is happening.

Thank you so much. This is good that I can solve it with downgrade to 3.4.3 version. I will try that during the weekend. Hope maybe "hultenvp" will do a new update later 😀

ccj2740 commented 6 months ago

I have rolled back to 3.4.3 and I can confirm it is updating every 1min again. However sometimes it takes 2min think it is something with the timestamp, but not sure how to fix that :(

viking2010 commented 6 months ago

That's not unusual, especially during the day. Their servers can be under load or network latency can occur and sometimes a poll is missed. It soon reverts back to 1 min. You may even find that it can take longer than 2 mins at times. Not often, but occasionally it can.

I was offline for quite a while, so memory is not too fresh around this anymore. I cannot find any particular reason why it moved other than that it came in with the PR from @artarus. Guess I overlooked it. Difference is that it now reports for the whole Plant/Station instead of per inverter, which may contain multiple inverters if you have any.

@artarus: Any reason why it was moved?

artarus commented 5 months ago

According to the discussion: "Cant find the sensor for power usage. #327", I couldn't retrieve data from this source 'familyLoadPower' form /inverterDetail, at that time, therefore, another source was used /./stationDetail. I don't know, it might be a server error, but after a long discussion with the Solis, the add some sensor and sensor readings are more or less as in the documentation. I have checked logs today and see "familyLoadPower" in /inverterDetail showing correct values. As for solution a new sensor can be created or moved back to /inverterDetail

Hi @hultenvp ,

I updated to latest version 3.5.1 , but the issue with delay on Solis Total Consumption power is still 5min even if I set it to 1 in your configuration.

I have rolled back to 3.4.3 and I can confirm it is updating every 1min again.

Your latest version have more sensors and I would like to use some of them, so want to ask if you have any plans looking into fixing this in 3.5.x version ?

Kind regards Christian

Thanks @artarus... refer to https://github.com/hultenvp/solis-sensor/discussions/327

I tried the fix.zip and now the "Solis Total Consumption power sensor" is updating correctly again...

BUT the "Solis Total Consumption power sensor" is diffrent data than the data in Solis cloud: image

Example when I compare from Solis cloud to the sensor in home assistant, then I see a difference of around 200-300W...

I think the reason for this difference is that it is taking: Total Consumption Power - Backup Load Power 2,71 - 0,202 = image

I don´t think it should include the "backup load power" as it gives me wrong information ?

Also I am Happy to hear that you want to investigate it after 3 weeks I appreciate that very much :)

Integrated fix.zip. Will be released in 3.5.2
