Update const.py for compatibility to HA core-2021.8.0

.. or remove the import of this const completely as it is not used in the script.

But anyways.. 👍

[Dntouch]

You are absolutely right. Removing it would be better and would not cause problems on previous HA versions.

This update is the onyl thing standing between me and HA 2021.8! So an update is highly appreciated

[klaus1956]

Is there any way to change this myself as Mikolaj seems not to be active at the moment?

Hi Klaus, you can install the Visual Studio Code Add-in and edit the const.py yourself.

After installation open the visual studio code editor and navigate to CONFIG -> custom_components -> senec -> const.py

edit line 4 to contain:

from homeassistant.const import ENERGY_KILO_WATT_HOUR, PERCENTAGE, POWER_WATT

Great - Thank You - this description was even working for me and 2021.8 is running now :)

For integration in the new 2021.8-Energy appliction it seems that the entity types need to be updated ro "measuerment" .. but may be I am wrong

Hi @klaus1956 ,

to problem is, that the sensors created by this plugin like for example the sensor.senec_solar_generated_power are of type "power in Watt". But the new energy feature of HA requires them to be of type "energy in kWh"

I've created 3 new sensors, using the Riemann sum integral plugin in the configuration.yaml

sensor:
  - platform: integration
    source: sensor.senec_solar_generated_power
    name: solar_generated_energy
    unit_prefix: k
    unit_time: h
    unit: kWh
    round: 2
  - platform: integration
    source: sensor.senec_grid_imported_power
    name: solar_imported_energy
    unit_prefix: k
    unit_time: h
    unit: kWh
    round: 2
  - platform: integration
    source: sensor.senec_grid_exported_power
    name: solar_exported_energy
    unit_prefix: k
    unit_time: h
    unit: kWh
    round: 2

To work with the new energy feature of HA, an entity must have the attributes (as far as I've understood):

state_class: measurement
device_class: energy

So if you still can't find the new sensors fom the rieman plugin, those attributes can be set in the customize.yaml if necessary:

sensor.solar_exported_energy:
  device_class: energy

Any way to fork this integration an modify it for usage with energy app from HA 2021.8? Workaround is fine, but a proper solution will be much better. But I do not have any skills in python to do this.

As we are discussing: I use data from this application to control a Wallbox PV- charging process. Is there a possibility for controlled entity update frequency ( e.g. all 30 sec). I am nit sure which update frequency the IP interface provides.

Hey guys, i've just installed a v3 at home w/ battery. I also know next to nothing about github, linux and homeassistant haha.

Will be following this with interest, because as it stands, I'm like a little kid in the dark with a torch!

[mchwalisz]

Thanks for looking into that.
