I have installed both of your add-ons and are working fine. It would be nice to add the charging limits if you were going to do so. That way I don't need to create a fork. There is a Emporia Vue in my breaker panel that tracks power fot the circuits that are not montiored by SHP. Such as 240 appliances. The CT clamps are on the two input mains too. So I get the total grid power and all circuits (SHP & Emporia Vue) . Took a while to get it all setup. I would have never got this far if it wasn't for your sensor and dashboard examples.

My question 2 was about updating the SHP from HA. You answered that in your respose to question 3.

I figured it would take a lot of work to replace mqtt. As long as it keeps working no reason to change.

I just started using HA. There is a lot to learn about how it all works.

Thanks again.

Just got the update for the powershell add-on with the battery charging and discharging levels. Thanks for adding them!

No worries. I've noticed a quirk of how it works when setting the value using MQTT. Obviously there's a delay between the setting being made and the polling of the add-on to get the new value, if you just wait for the next polling cycle of the add-on, it does get updated but that can take up to 5 minutes, which isn't ideal.

I had planned to simply add another action to the YAML to update the value of the add-on's number entity but for whatever reason, the action does exactly nothing and there's a message in the HA log saying "referenced entities either missing or unavailable."

Clearly, they are not missing and are very much available, but it doesn't work and I've no idea why - could be a HA bug for all I know.

How that the SHP and Delta Pros 99.9% configured in HA, it's not a big deal not being able to updating them from HA. Since I will continure to use the phone app and updating is not a frequent thing.

This has been a hugh learning experience. Can't thank you and others enough who have worked hard to get this put together.

How to dust off the powershell brain cells and do more experimenting. Along with learning python.
