The only issue I see there is your battery discharge is showing as negative which is weird

What do you mean?
Consumed battery (battery discharge) is show in green and is always positive.
At 05:00-06:00 and again at 19:00-20:00 my battery was charged using the Grid.
Pink is Battery Charged, but there is no Blue Grid Import shown for the same hours even though the Grid was used to charge the battery. It's like the energy is coming out of thin air.

This one?

Yes

But it's being charged, not [discharged](#1311631527444086815 message).
Charged (returned) is negative. Discharged (consumed) is positive.
Charging (returned to Battery) shows correctly (Pink), but the Import (consumed from Grid) which should be shown as positive (Blue) is not present/is missing from the chart. The previous hour (18:00-19:00) when the battery was not yet charging, it was correctly shown.

What does the discharging graph show in that time?
A battery can both charge and discharge in the same time period
Blue is the display of grid to home - you can see in the 5-6 period the blue is not equal and opposite the battery charge
It's what your house consumed during that time

What does the discharging graph show in that time?
It shows zero discharge during that time.

It starts discharging at 1950ish...

Blue is the display of the Grid to Home
Blue (Grid Import) should include both the Home (Loads) + Battery (Charging) consumption though.

Well that is a design decision, not a bug

Yeah, not sure what you're getting at. It's clear from [this image](#1311631527444086815 message) that there was both Charging and Discharging. I don't have any problems with how the Battery is shown.
The problem is the Grid Import is missing.
There is no Total consumed shown between 19:00-20:00, which is impossible.
The chart shows Total consumed for every hour except that one. Unless I turned off my entire house it's impossible to not have any consumption. It must be a bug.

It is the only period where your battery discharge is showing as negative. That should quite literally never happen
I agree that something fucky is going on.
I disagree that not showing energy from grid - > battery is a bug

Ok, so the fact that Consumed battery (Green) is negative looks like a bug too.

How can 18:00-19:00 show Grid import (Blue) and the next hour 19:00-20:00 when I'm importing even more from the Grid to charge the Battery and run the Home there is no Grid Import (Blue) present at all and Total consumed is not even present in the tooltip. The Grid was used from 19:00-19:50 as you pointed out. So only 19:50-20:00 the Battery was used.
I think there are two bugs. Maybe related.
dawn cargo
Yup. Does this happen every day or just the once?

The issue you linked is for 'consumed solar' though. It might be the same root cause, but it's a different scenario.

It's the same issue

Following. Thank you OP for taking the time to document and trying to get the issue resolved. It is quite annoying. Maybe a good time to make a Month of WTH thread as well unless you made one already. Cant check because the forum seems to be experiencing some issues
