Household power consumption - smart meter, no homekit

[mkerollos]

Hi, Is it at all possible to get consumption values from the inverter? I could not see anything that resembled consumption. I have a GoodWe smart meter but do not have a homekit. The consumption values show up in SEMS (and I can retrieve them using the SEMS portal, but I would prefer local integration).

All "Meter" prefixed sensors are coming from the smart meter, so those are the ones measuring actual or cumulative consumption/production.

@mletenay there are no "meter" prefixed sensors for me. I have a GW10K-MS-30 inverter with a smart meter. On the SEMS app, I get both consumption and generation.

Perhaps this issue should be against the python SDK, as these are the only values I get out of that:

@mkerollos Did you ever get to the bottom of this? I’m also scrabbling around like a deer in headlights trying to find a way to expose the values that are obviously included in the data package going to SEMS but apparently not exposed locally.

[mkerollos]

@alduffield unfortunately not, I fell back to using the values out of the sems integration. I tried poking around the modbus stream to see if I could find anything that sort of lined up but it felt futile.

That’s good to know, I’m essentially on the same journey as you, my next step was to pickup a RS485 to Ethernet interface and start poking around, you may have saved me the hassle. I’ll probably just settle for a Shelly or similar and handle integration in HA instead of chasing the elegant solution.
