How to get production from v7/v8 FW

[PertuyF]

Hey there,

Thanks a ton for this work, I am learning a lot! I am looking for a fine-grained measurement to monitor power flows from my installation, and this looks really close to my needs.

One thing that is not obvious to me, though, and I hope you could help. With V5 firmware it looks like there is a dedicated section for production and consumption and net power. For V7/V8 firmware, I don't understand how production is represented. Could someone help me with that?

Best, Fabien

Hi, Thanks for using the addon.

There's an excellent writeup here by @del13r about what the V7 values mean and he may be able to assist: https://community.home-assistant.io/t/enphase-envoy-d7-firmware-with-jwt-a-different-approach/594082

@helderfmf wrote the v7 section of this addon code - he may be able to assist with the specifics of templates that may be needed for Home Assistant? Thanks

Oh, OK, got it. I've got confused about what the fields are about in the JSON. Field 0 is production, field 1 is consumption. It all makes better sense now!

I'll be able to sort everything out, thank you!

Just in case others come looking for a solution to the same problem:
