Thank you very much for the development but the truth is that it was not easy for me to configure the application. My inverter is a Fronius Primo 5:

I would recommend putting a configuration example with the following with smartmeter, since the units come in MWh:

sensor

• platform: fronius_inverter ip_address: ([IP_Fronius_smartmeter] smartmeter: True powerflow: True power_units: kW units: kWh

In "utility meters" the solar production sensor is missing, also the application did not recognize nee sensors if I did not modify them as "device_class": energy and its "units" in kWh, (attention: Kwh is not worth it for de W without capital letters). I had to modify the sensors manually in developer tools

utility_meter

Energy (safepay)

Calculate dayly energy consumed from grid

grid_consumed_energy_day: source: sensor.fronius_smartmeter_energy_ac_consumed cycle: daily

calculate daily energy sold to grid

grid_sold_energy_day: source: sensor.fronius_smartmeter_energy_ac_sold cycle: daily

calculate daily energy produced from solar panels

solar_produced_energy_day: source: sensor.fronius_total_energy cycle: daily

The power units are up to you to decide what you want. For my dashboards, I find W works best for power and kWh is best for power (but there are no wrong answers here).

- platform: fronius_inverter
  ip_address: 192.168.1.71
  powerflow: true
  units: kWh
  power_units: W
  smartmeter: true
  smartmeter_device_id: 0

0.9.6 has support for the energy dashboard in HA 2021.8. You need to use the following sensors:

Solar production: total_energy Grid consumption: smartmeter_energy_ac_consumed Grid feed-in: smartmeter_energy_ac_sold

And yes I will update the readme to make it clear that energy units needs to be expressed in kWh.

Thanks for your great work! I have integrated my Fronius and have no issues, just one thing I would like to know. Since the latest HA update 2021.9 they also offer to read data from Solar Battery. Do you think you could provide integration for the Fronius Solar Battery as well? That would be really great to read data stored in the battery and consumed from the battery. Thanks

Did you want to create a new issue with this request in it? That way it has better visibility VS being buried in this non-related issue :)
