Enphase Envoy - 2 cumulative sensors are decreasing instead of increasing

[jayzed2]

The problem

I'm very new to Home Assistant .. I've added an Enphase Envoy Solar PV system to the setup and there was a log entry indicating that both of these are cumulative counters are counting down, rather than counting up!

I have found the graph of each of these sensors and this too is showing it is decreasing overtime

sensor.envoy_121749046258_last_seven_days_energy_production
sensor.envoy_121749046258_last_seven_days_energy_consumption

The log entry suggested that I should create a bug report at https://github.com/home-assistant/core/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3A%22integration%3A+enphase_envoy%22

What version of Home Assistant Core has the issue?

core-2023.1.0

What was the last working version of Home Assistant Core?

No response

What type of installation are you running?

Home Assistant Supervised

I believe there are circumstances when the 7 days production or consumption will decrease.
If for example in the current day the production (which gets added to the 7 days total) is less than the production of 7 days ago (which is no longer included in the 7 days total), then the 7 days total will decrease.
This happens regularly in my solar panel setup and never worried me because of this explanation.

This might mean that both these 7 days total variables should not have state_class=SensorStateClass.TOTAL_INCREASING setting in the source code.

Hi,
Thanks for your input on this matter - I'll let it go for now and see what the result is in the next few weeks.

As I'm very new to Home Assistant, I'm not sure where to check or adjust that variable - can you assist with explaining where I can find this variable?

Thanks
John

Please advice.

Same. I don't think these entities are cumulative, they just add 7 non-cumulative values.
Should not have total_increasing. "total" is probably best.
Same goes for daily_production and daily_consumption, although I don't actually have theses entities. And even the lifetime_consumption and lifetime_production values can just be total, since there is no real reason for total_increasing.

Since the code owner is not responding, I've submitted a PR for this: #87397
