Card not showing energy being used by house

[dorgan]

Currently I have more solar power being generated than is being used by the house, but the card is showing that its all going to the grid. And here is a similar card I have that shows it correctly:

What are the values of the 3 entities shown?

In a similar test, I have

entities:
  grid:
    consumption: input_number.grid_cons # 0
    production: input_number.grid_prod # 2000
  solar: input_number.solar # 3000
kw_decimals: 3
watt_threshold: 10000

The left over 1000 flows to the house. Are perhaps some of your values negative numbers? There is an inverted_entities option that might be what you need.

sensor.grid_power_production can be negative or positive, what change to you recommend?

[ulic75]

If one means consumption and the other means production, then you don't need two entities, you can just use grid: sensor.grid_power_production. And if they are the opposite then you can add inverted_entities: grid. I tried to design to use the least amount of entities possible.

yup that worked perfectly!
