Too long texts, daily energy not shown correct and some wishes at the end

[Breinholm-coder]

Is there an existing issue for this?

Current Behavior

1. I'm using the enlarged text option to make the screen more readable on my mobile. But the Danish translations of the texts are far too long (see lower right side). These texts could be shortened to: "Daglig salg af El" and "Daglig kob af El".
2. The daily Energy values shown above these texts are also wrong. They are not reset daily as intended - only the total values are shown. The same entities are daily restarted correctly on my energy page.
3. I only want to see the power flow (except for my battery state). The big red box on the right side of the inverter is therefore obsolete - It would be nice if its presence could be configurable or dependent on the count of declared entities for the box.
4. The box above the inverter is larger than needed for my one line with power. Can its size and presence also depend on the count of declared entities?
5. It's impossible to see statistics for the sum box from my 4 solar inputs - Can this be added?
6. I've used the load AUX function to add my extra micro-inverter (with inverted power flow) - This works fine. But an equivalent Aux function under the Inverter configuration would be more appropriate. Thanks / Peter

Steps To Reproduce

No response

Expected behaviour

Shorter translations of the original texts. Daily energy values are reset at 00.00 hours. Boxes are shown and sized by the count of declared content (entities). Curves (statistics) available for the sum of solar inputs.

Hi Thanks for the feedback. You must be the first Danish user 😄

1. I will update the translated text as suggested: "Daglig salg af El" and "Daglig kob af El". I would be grateful if you could check and make further suggestions. https://github.com/slipx06/sunsynk-power-flow-card/blob/master/src/localize/languages/da.json
2. The card will display whatever the sensor value is. There is no internal logic to calculate daily energy. You should create a utility meter that resets daily based on your energy sensors. 3, 4. This level of customization is not possible at the moment. Something to consider for the future. Doe your integration not provide you with this sensor data?
3. If you are are referring to the more-info dialog this is not possible as the PV total value is calculated by the card and does not contain any historical state information. You ca create you own sensor that sums this and provide it as input for the pv_total: entity. It will then contain historical state information and statistics.
4. Something to consider. Currently grouped under the load section as it made sense when the AUX port was configured to drive a load.

No. 1 has been fixed in https://github.com/slipx06/sunsynk-power-flow-card/releases/tag/v4.28.0

I think you have more Danish users than you imagine - Solar systems are very popular here.

1. I will gladly check the file - Do you have any description of the individual parameters for identification of their full usage?
2. and 3. OK I will create my own entities - My Energy page must do the daily reset somehow behind the scenes :-)
3. The inverted Aux Load way works fine, but it's not an obvious usage of a load.

Thanks / Peter

Thanks. The easiest would be to refer to the English translation file and check for accuracy.

Thanks for updating the translation. I have merged for next release.
