I just subscribed, great video, a bit to complicated for me at this time, a HA beginner and non-programer. I would like to use the power panel you show in the beginning at 2:22. Do you have a video on setting that up? I don't really care for the built in energy panel. Also how are you montering the appliances, do you have smart appliances or use an external device to get the power consumption?
Grafana is great, I've tried to embed chart as well. But problem is with authentication, when I don't want to allow anonymous access to dashboard (with Grafana visible from internet). And Grafana also has to be accessible directly, as Home Assistant is not doing a proxy. It would be great if Grafana could auto-login current Home Assistant user..
This what I’ve been hoping to do, but as usual it’s baffling. I followed instructions from my computer an got the graph I desired in my dashboard, success. But it will not show on either my phone or tablet using the app. Saw the note below about connecting remotely and grabbing the address from Grafana. Did this and saw the graph and thought success but no I only get to see the graph when I am not on my local network. Very frustrating. Do you have any other ideas on how this might be made to work in all flight modes?
I'd first make sure you can see Grafana from outside of your network. Then, you can integrate it to your dashboard. If you can't get to grafana as such, it worn't work from the dashboard. And once you get ot working, you can perhaps set-up the llnk when working from outside, to make sure you have the right link (e.g. if you use a local address when connecting to HA from withion your network).
@@bruxy70 It works from the dashboard from my computer but not the HA app, so I turned off wifi and connected via cell carrier. found the link for the graph and edited my dashboard to use that link. It worked fine but when I reconnect to my wifi I once again cannot see the graph on the dashboard.
Wonderful video, I assume for the third sector you have power monitoring across all your end devices? Do you have a video on how you set it up, is it a tonne of shellys or do you have some incredible hardware that can decode power wave?
Hi, I need help, how did you configure your Energy dashboard from the Goodwe entities? I have a Goodwe GW5048-ES inverter and it has 61 entities, non of them appear in the Add Grid consumption and Add Grid Export, the solar power and battery entities also do not appear. Please help, it will be truly appreciated
Not sure what is wrong, I see the entities in the list. I added Meter Total Energy (import) and Meter Total Energy (export) as consumption and return to grid. Total Battery Charge and Total Battery discharge for the battery and Total PV generation for the PV.
@bruxy70 I see, I don't have those entities, I guess our Inverters provide different entities my entities are sensor.ongrid_export_power for Export and sensor.on_grid_power for import and for battery it is only sensor.battery_power and neither of those are in the look up list when adding energy dashboards. Maybe I need to use SEMS API's
Thanks for your video, great explanation. I have 2 questions: 1. Where did you get the sensor house consumption from? Is that your own sensor? 2. I think sankey is really chic. Have you already tried that with election date. That you can choose the period yourself?
Thanks again for the awesome video Vaclav! I hope to set this up on my personal dashboard since I have solar panels, inverter, and batteries at my home in the USA (Michigan). However, I am struggling with the battery part of the equation (I don't know how to integrate that part into the HA energy dashboard). Since one cannot use a current transformer (e.g. clamp sensor) for measuring DC current flow how does one monitor the battery charge and discharge? May I ask how you did it?
Ok. This might not be easy then. I guess I'd search the internet, or have a contractor to put monitoring in place. Suppose the BMS has a Modbus interface. But hart to know how hard this would be and if it's worth the effort.
They have to be on an url accessible externally. You are right that i did show it with a local IP. This is not how I use it. But I am not keen to share my actual URL ;)
