No integration in Energy Management #107

Closed arduinopjotr closed 2 years ago

arduinopjotr commented 2 years ago

Hello, I have succesfuly setup the integration in Home Assistant. However, i want to integrate the ECU-R in the Energy monitor. Within the energy monitor i already configured the smartmeter. https://www.home-assistant.io/docs/energy/electricity-grid/

When i want to add the Solar production i need to add the entity from the ECU-R named "sensor.ecu_today_energy" but i it not visible. Home Assistant gives the clue because within the integration there must be told that this entity must me configured as an entity which to track statistics https://www.home-assistant.io/more-info/statistics/

Is this a known issue ? Is ther maybe an workarround ? Thanks

You'll have to use sensor.ecu_lifetime_energy It takes around two hours before statistics become available. I'll study the second link you provided. Thank you.

Hello Edwin, I just configured the entity "sensor.ecu_lifetime_energy" in the recorder and after that the entity "sensor.ecu_lifetime_energy" is visible when i select : Settings -> Dashboard -> Energy ->Add Solar production But when i select this i get the message : statistics_not_defined sensor.ecu_lifetime_energy

Does it need fixing? Go to Developer Tool > STATISTICS and search for sensor.ecu_lifetime_energy

It works ! Even with the warning that the statistics is not defined it works. As a mather of fact, why do i need to add sensor.ecu_lifetime_energy instead of sensor.ecu_today_energy ?

I use ECU Today Energy, works too.

You are right, both show the same increase per day and therefore the production per day. It indeed takes some patience to see the energy dashboard working.
