Not sure my sensors are set correctly - Solaredge PV and Battery

[dabeeeenster]

Hi

I got Predbat set up a couple of weeks ago but looking at the sensors I think maybe something isnt right. Does the power flow animation suggest I've done something wrong? In addition, the values do not change over time - is that to be expected? Thanks!

According to the SolarEdge monitor at this time I'm importing ~200w from the grid but its not showing - also the battery arrow is pointing the wrong way?

The relevant part of my app.yaml is:

# Taken from https://github.com/springfall2008/batpred/blob/main/templates/solaredge.yaml

pred_bat:

    load_today:
        - sensor.solar_house_consumption_kwh

        - sensor.solaredge_i1_m1_ac_energy_imported
    export_today:
        - sensor.solaredge_i1_m1_ac_energy_exported

    pv_today:
        - sensor.solar_panel_production_kwh # This is a custom template sensor - see SolarEdge section of 'Inverter Setup' documentation for how to create

    # maximum battery charge rate. If you have a single battery then can use the b1_max_charge_power sensor directly

Looks like grid_power is missing from this list

Ah! I took it from the template at https://github.com/springfall2008/batpred/blob/main/templates/solaredge.yaml which doesnt have grid_power specified?

OK I think I have things set right - is this -1337 figure correct? from the grid? As opposed to positive 1337?

FYI if other solaredge folk are reading this, my app.yaml now reads:

# Taken from https://github.com/springfall2008/batpred/blob/main/templates/solaredge.yaml

pred_bat:
    load_today:
        - sensor.solar_house_consumption_kwh

    import_today:
        - sensor.solaredge_i1_m1_ac_energy_imported

    export_today:
        - sensor.solaredge_i1_m1_ac_energy_exported

    grid_power:
        - sensor.solaredge_i1_m1_ac_power
    grid_power_invert:
        - False

    pv_today:
        - sensor.solar_panel_production_kwh # This is a custom template sensor - see SolarEdge section of 'Inverter Setup' documentation for how to create

    # maximum battery charge rate. If you have a single battery then can use the b1_max_charge_power sensor directly
    battery_rate_max:
        - sensor.solaredge_i1_b1_max_charge_power
    charge_rate:
        - number.solaredge_i1_storage_charge_limit
    discharge_rate:
        - number.solaredge_i1_storage_discharge_limit

    battery_power:
        - sensor.solaredge_i1_b1_dc_power
    battery_power_invert:
        - True

the power figures appear to add up now. If you can verify that the figures are correct as per the solaredge app, I can add the necessary changes to the solaredge template

Looks like you have added battery_power_invert and grid_power. These only affect the power flow diagram, no functional impact on predbat which is probably why they got missed by the original solaredge users
