7. Energy Dashboard

Energy Dashboard

The energy sensors included in the "Huawei Solar PEES package" are created as platform sensors and can be used directly in the Home Assistant Energy Dashboard.

❗ Note: Adding costs/rates to sensors on the energy dashboard will create sensors with very similar naming to the names used in the "Huawei Solar PEES package". Please refer to this post for additional information Discussions #21.

Energy Card	Energy Sensors	Cost/Rate Sensor
Electricity Grid - Grid consumption	Energy Import sensor.energy_import	EnergiDataService
Electricity Grid - Return to grid	Energy Export sensor.energy_export	EnergiDataService - Sale
Solar Panels - Solar Production	Energy Yield #1 sensor.energy_yield_1 Energy Yield #2 sensor.energy_yield_2	-
Home Battery Storage - Discharge	Energy Battery Discharge sensor.energy_battery_discharge	-
Home Battery Storage - Charge	Energy Battery Charge sensor.energy_battery_charge	-
Gas Consumption - Gas Consumption	Energy Battery Discharge House sensor.energy_battery_discharge_house	EnergiDataService - Negative

Track Battery Savings

If you would like to keep track of the savings you have from discharging of your battery, you can add the battery as a Gas or Water consumption. But you would need to multiply it with a negative price since it is a saving and not a cost. The best way to do this is by creating a negative price sensor. Copy the sensor below to "template: > sensor:" in your configuration.yaml file and use it for calculating the savings.

template:
  - sensor:
      - name: "Energi Data Service - Negative"
        unique_id: energi_data_service_negative
        unit_of_measurement: DKK/kWh
        state: >
          {{ states('sensor.energi_data_service') | float(0) * (-1) }}
