v0.9.6 — Whole-house load on the flow strip

The Live tab's HOME node showed sensor.solis_s6_eh1p_household_load_power, which the inverter only computes from the load it services through its own CTs — battery and grid. The AC-coupled solar inverter backfeeds the house AC bus downstream of those CTs, so that sensor never sees the load solar covers (the same blind spot documented in v0.9.1 for the energy figures).

Measured live on 2026-09-10 over a minute: solar ~167 W, grid ~20 W, battery discharge ~223 W, but household_load_power ~170 W — a steady ~235 W short of the sources, almost exactly the solar figure, and not sampling jitter. So the power-flow strip never balanced.

New sensor.true_house_load sums every metered flow into the AC bus — solar + grid net (signed) + battery discharge − battery charge, clamped at 0 — and the HOME node now reads it. The only residual left against it is battery DC→AC conversion loss and inverter self-consumption, ~7% of discharge. The raw Solis figure stays on the History tab's energy "Home load" row.

Backend change: adds the true_house_load template sensor to tariff_period_breakdown.yaml — re-copy the package to the host and restart HA, then HACS-redownload the panel.
