Is there an existing issue for this?

Current Behavior

grid_ct_power_172: "The value on HA is positive (on DB), but it shows negative on the flow card. This happened after upgrading to the latest version

Steps To Reproduce

No response

Expected behaviour

the value need to be positive and show trickle feed value when not importing from the grid

Card Version

3.16.1

Please share your card config. Are you using three phase? Have you set invert_grid: true? Please share you sensor value grid_ct_power_172:

I don't use three phase. the card do not accept the invert_grid: true configuration value.

Hi

You have some mistakes in your card configuration. For a full list of options please read the documentation https://slipx06.github.io/sunsynk-power-flow-card/configuration.html

Just quickly looking the following is wrong:

show_aux: 'no'
invert_aux: 'no'
invert_grid: 'no'
nonessential_dual: 'no'

Should be changed to:

show_aux: false
invert_aux: false
invert_grid: false
additional_loads: 0

Also three_phase: false should be moved to the inverter section

A negative value is a withdrawal from the distribution network. If I set invert_grid: false , the value is displayed correctly, but the dot animation works in reverse.

No. By default a positive value is expected for grid import. If your sensor provides a negative value you need to set invert_grid: true See below

invert_grid: | Optional | false | Set to true if your sensor provides a negative number for grid import and positive number for grid export

[Legnava89]

I have invert_grid: true set But the value on the card shows a positive value On the active_power_total sensor it shows a negative value

it's alright?

[slipx06]

Yes that's by design and what the invert setting does. The card is working as expected.

Thank you slipx06. It is now working nicely.

Thank you for your help.
