Enphase - difficulty setting up the card

[manofpants]

@thomasvt1 I have Enphase for my solar, using the Enphase (dev) integration for my HA. How doyou set up this card to use? I can't get mine working with just the solar in and home consumption entities.

from @flixlix

Can you share your code? I suspect you didn't enter a grid entity and that's why it's not working for you

type: custom:power-flow-card-plus
entities:
  grid:
    entity:
      consumption: sensor.current_energy_consumption
      # production: sensor.current_energy_consumption
  solar:
    entity: sensor.current_energy_production

Those are literally the only two power entities that came with the integration. I've added one simple sum sensor for the difference in those two but I couldn't figure out where to add it that works.

edit: Only entities other than the 28 individual inverters that Thomas asked about in #23

Adding the current in/out does this, which isn't right since the solar production is feeding both my house AND the grid and I'm not getting anything from the grid currently:

No good. :(

At the time of this screenshot I was at 4.4/5.8 prod/cons

Do you have a sensor for your grid import / export?

[manofpants]

I have 2 that came with the integration:

1. House consumption
2. Solar production

And I added one for difference of those two to show importing or exporting.

ok, so you'll only need that sensor that displays the difference and the solar sensor. forget about the home sensor for now.

type: custom:power-flow-card-plus
entities:
  grid:
    entity: sensor.your_grid_sensor
  solar:
    entity: sensor.your_solar_sensor

and in case the grid is going in the opposite direction:

type: custom:power-flow-card-plus
entities:
  grid:
    entity: sensor.your_grid_sensor
  solar:
    entity: sensor.your_solar_sensor
inverted_entities: grid

If this doesn't work, please make a screenshot with the resulting card and tell me the state of your grid sensor and the state of your solar sensor at the time you took that screenshot, so I can further debug this issue.

Wow. Dumb mistake. Your suggestion worked once I figured out that I used a sum helper instead of creating a template sensor for the difference between prod and cons.

Well mark this solved :)
