calculated house consumption sensor?

[seebaer1976]

one question, in which sensor is the calculated house consumption stored?

[ulic75]

The Home value is calculated by adding all of the production values together and then subtracting the consumption values if any.

When I check the entity it is showing the current product - it seems to be an aggregation versus a cumulative

Which appears to be the Solar Production INTO the battery.
Which still isn’t quite what I think I am after.

whereas consumption_w is a in/out entity

Change to this
battery: sensor.sonnenbatterie_nnnnn_consumption_w
Then check charge/discharge is right way round and use the inverted_entities: battery if it isnt

I appreciate your help. I am quite sure I am abusing github’s “discussions” forum ;)
however I think I am close.

And shortly after, here are my four attempts :) you can see the first one is pretty close

here is the config for that one

type: custom:power-flow-card
entities:
  battery:
    consumption: sensor.sonnenbatterie_nnnnn_consumption_w
    production: sensor.sonnenbatterie_nnnnn_meter_production_4_1_w_total
  battery_charge: sensor.sonnenbatterie_nnnnn_state_charge_real
  grid:
    consumption: sensor.sonnenbatterie_nnnnn_state_grid_input
    production: sensor.sonnenbatterie_nnnnn_state_grid_output
  solar: sensor.solaredge_current_power

Top left looks furthest out to me. Battery cannot be charging and discharging at same time.
I still think if your battery consumption shows + & - values as mine does then you need this:

type: custom:power-flow-card
entities:
battery: sensor.sonnenbatterie_nnnnn_consumption_w
battery_charge: sensor.sonnenbatterie_nnnnn_state_charge_real
grid:
consumption: sensor.sonnenbatterie_nnnnn_state_grid_input
production: sensor.sonnenbatterie_nnnnn_state_grid_output
solar: sensor.solaredge_current_power

When your battery is showing charging on your other app then make sure the top value with the down arrow of the battery circle is showing the value as that's showing power to battery so charging. If while charging battery the value is showing on the bottom, then use the inverted value as discussed earlier.

I don't really know if github is supposed to be used like this either but if I can help them I'm going to help!
This is a great card with excellent documentation and the key is knowing and understanding your entities.

It probably would have been better to create a new discussion rather than jumping into an existing one, but this is exactly what discussions are for. And if after discussion it's decided that there is a bug then an issue can be created to address it.

Thanks for help @DoMiNiOuS, it is appreciated. I agree, it's really about understanding the entities, which can some times be a challenge with so many different systems.
