House Consumption overridden by Battery to House #74

Closed beccsjb closed 3 years ago

G'day Mate, LOVE this front end addon, awesome work.

After configuring it all, it seems that the Battery to House Value seems to override the House Consumption.

ie, it should be able to show the Battery consumption (usually a higher value due to efficiencies) and then still show the house consumption watts.

See attached image, the house value and battery to house value are the same, despite being given different sensors. solardash

The number shown in the house should be the sum of PV Made, Grid Used and Battery used. So 16.56 + 14.83 + 1.018 Are you sure you have added grid_to_house and generation_to_house as entities?

Hi Sebrep, thanks for the reply. Why would the number in the house not simply equal the current House Load in Watts? as Defined in House Consumption Entity.

grid_to_house and generation_to_house have been added. When the grid is being used and pv is being made, they display their correct lines and wattages etc.

But the defined 'house_consumption_entity' seems to be ignored once the 'battery_to_house_entity' is defined.

I think I've now got everything working except generation to battery working.

The battery just will not show up a positive indication, nor create a line from the Solar up the top, down to the battery.

Any thoughts?

reptilex commented 3 years ago

have you checked on your sensor.solar_to_battery is it showing anything when the battery is being loaded?

beccsjb commented 3 years ago

G’day Reptilex, yeah the solar_to_battery shows the data correctly.

reptilex commented 3 years ago

your yml is wrong it should be called: generation_to_battery_entity

beccsjb commented 3 years ago

OH MY GOSH! Wow, how did i overlook that! I'm so sorry to have wasted your time.

Thank you very much, nice to have it working. I've lost hours to that simple mistake!
