Energy Dashboard (Build in)

Love the new integrated custom icons. Nice job, tnx.

Great job with the use of custom icons. Looks very good.

Some points on how the custom icons behave in my configuration. The default icons, like temperature are not changed to the icon.
One of the widgets shows heating on or of. This has a custom icon in color (On) and gray (Off) It only shows the On icon in both situations.

The dashboard looks great, thanks for your work.

New beta version (16055)

On the download website the version is 2024.3.16055 ?? Should this not be 2024.4.16055?
Same for stable version.

Thanks for spotting, fixed!

I like the introduction of an energy board!
I have the solaredge modbustcp installed.

Only my total solar production I have calculated from the inverter + battery:

solar = inverter + to_battery

home = solar - (export - import) - to_battery

When I fill the values in the settings sheet the battery displays well, but the and the home values which are calculated by domoticz are too low, it ignores the Solar total value that I calculate.

I check these values with the solaredge monitor (have installed batter + in and export meter)

You don't need to calculate anything. You need to supply the current solar Watt value, and the battery Watt value, and the actual grid value (and battery SOC
You can use a Shelly EM (per phase) to measure them if you don't have these values via a API

@rezzalex, This might have to be done in the plugin... On a Victron system, when you set the setpoint to 1000 Watt it takes 1000 Watt from the Grid. When you set the Setpoint to -1000 Watt, it returns to the Grid.
Is this with the build in Enphase hardware?

It is also mentioned in the enphase code:

The current power charging/discharging the battery, in watts. Positive values indicate charging, negative values indicate discharging.

But I don't see the value being used.. There is a Watt sensor being made, but this holds the total charge of the battery
The value 'real_power_w' is not send to Domoticz which should contain the setpoint (current power)

Best to open an issue on github or send me a message on slack

In the current beta I added support for more (default/custom) icons, and basic on/off icon support.

Thanks gizmocuz, this looks great.

Just updated to latest version. Everything is showing correctly, however I just noticed the cost of energy and gas remains zero

The energy prices are filled in in the settings. Anyone has a hint how to fix?

[gizmocuz]

@akamming, best to read through this topic.
Depending on the settings (are you using 'internal' or did you specify devices), make sure if you specify devices for your prices, that they do not have a timeout
Did you wait a few hours?

[akamming]

tx @gizmocuz

I read this entire thread, but can't seem to find the answer. Also don't know what you mean by "Internal or specify devices", can find a setting like that.

hope you can give me some clue how to fix...

[FireWizard]

Hi @akamming,

Did you configure "Internal(meter settings) in the tab meters/counters under Dynamic prices?

Regards

[akamming]

Nope. That setting is set to "Niet actief" (since i don't have dynamic prices in my contract)

[FireWizard]

Hi, @akamming,

Then, that is your issue.

Change that setting to Internal (meter settings).
It might look confusing, as you configure "static" prices in a field indicated as "Dynamic prices", but it is the way to do it.

Regards

[akamming]

Ok just made the change. Hopefully the other reports are then also still ok

For now I still see 0 on the cost of the energie dashboard. But maybe have to wait a few hrs…

[gizmocuz]

I will change it to "(Dynamic) Price calculation" ... maybe that sounds more logical

[FireWizard]

Hello @gizmocuz,

I will change it to "(Dynamic) Price calculation" ... maybe that sounds more logical

Probably a good idea, it might prevent confusion.

@akamming,

Indeed you should wait . it will show values after some hours.

Regards

[gizmocuz]

Done, new beta. Also a new option to tell how the P1 Electricity report should be displayed (like now/before = High/Low Tariff , or in a simple way (only usage/return.. handy when you have a dynamic energy contract and there is no high/low anymore)
It now also uses the real (dynamic) price when available

[HvdW]

How do we download it?
Automagic or install a new domoticz beta version.

Yesterday after a few hrs, the cost for electricity started appearing. Gas remained zero (but i had to watch soccer instead of fixing domoticz ), so did not bother to put it on the forum yesterday

but now when i wanted to troubleshoot i see that as of this morning i now also see the cost of gas, by the amount it started calculating as of 0.00, so apparently a wait till overnight was needed to make the cost appear

tx for the help

question, why is the option there? You could also assume that when "not active" is selected, automatically "internal" is assumed...
