HomeAssistant integration

The integration of Daly2MQTT in HomeAssistant has changed fundamentally. SoftWareCrash and Jarnsen did a Discover together. This means that no entries are required in the configuration.yaml to create the sensors. Requirements:

1. MQTT broker installed in HomeAssistant

2. Daly2MQTT must be installed and MQTT must be configured. image image

3. There must be data in the WebUI.

image Integration in HomeAssistant:

1. Check whether data is available in the WebUI!!

2. Go to Settings

3. Go to Configure and click HA Discovery on

4. Click Save settings, the ESP will do a reboot image

image Display in HomeAssistant

1. As a device in MQTT list

2. The device itself

3. In the dashboard

1. Go to the configuration.yaml and create the following template sensors. Adapt it to your circumstances. The sensor you are accessing is Pack_Power. From this you create charged and discharged in W

template: sensor: DISCHARGE

• name: "energypack_pack_power_export" unique_id: energypack_pack_power_export unit_of_measurement: 'W' device_class: power state: >- {% if (states('sensor.energypack_pack_power'))|float(0) < 0 %} {{ (states('sensor.energypack_pack_power'))|float(0) * -1 }} {% else %} {{ 0 }} {% endif %} availability: "{{ [ states('sensor.energypack_pack_power') ] | map('is_number') | min }}"

CHARGE

• name: "energypack_pack_power_import" unique_id: energypack_pack_power_import unit_of_measurement: 'W' device_class: power state: >- {% if (states('sensor.energypack_pack_power'))|float(0) > 0 %} {{ states('sensor.energypack_pack_power')|float(0) }} {% else %} {{ 0 }} {% endif %} availability: "{{ [ states('sensor.energypack_pack_power') ] | map('is_number') | min }}"

2. Go to settings, devices, helper and create one for charge and one for discharge image

The sensors created by the helpers are only created when power has flowed in the respective direction. Once both are created you can add them to the energy dashboard as a battery

thanks to @Jarnsen for the work!!!
