I have a hybrid growatt system and I wanted to use the data from the solar panels in the energy dashboard but when I enter the sensors it doesn’t give out the correct information can anyone help?

I have a hybrid growatt system and I wanted to use the data from the solar panel...
what are you seeing? and what are you expecting to see?
cinder jetty
On the shinephone app I see while on the home assistant I see something totally different different.
This is the sensors that I have setup
lucid rose
your growatt thingy is showing power, the energy dashboard only shows energy
cinder jetty
So I can’t use the growatt to show consumption? Doesn’t it show on the app? Like house consumption, grid export and import and the solar power?
shrewd epoch
if it only provides power but not energy then to convert power to energy you can use the Riemann sum this allows you to create a helper that will track the power and calculate the energy usage. you can then use this helper in the energy dashboard
cinder jetty
Okay I’ll try but how do I check if it’s power?
lucid rose
~~if it only provides power but not energy then to convert power to energy you c...
he already has energy, it shows on the eneryg dashboard
lucid rose
Okay I’ll try but how do I check if it’s power?
you have energy
please google the difference between power and energy
shrewd epoch
oh right its the different measurements confusing things
cinder jetty
But if I have energy why doesn’t it work then
lucid rose
it works
cinder jetty
It doesn’t output correct
lucid rose
it does. Google what energy and power is
shrewd epoch
yeah it does look right
its just different things are being displayed
power is in kW
energy is in kWh
cinder jetty
Ahh okay and what do I do to make it to power?
shrewd epoch
the energy dashboard is for energy
lucid rose
you should have those sensors already, just can't use them in the energy dashboard
there is stuff like this if you want to show power instead of energy
but please make sure you understand the difference between the two...
shrewd epoch
but please make sure you understand the difference between the two...
maybe a little blunt but not totally unfair
lucid rose
if you didn't learn this in high school they really failed you, sorry to say
cinder jetty
No I just thought it meant something else but now that I saw the difference I understand
I installed the power flow card and I am trying to add the consumption and production but I don’t know what entity to add
I also can’t find any entity called power or that gives the info that I see on the app
Sorry if my responses are bad I just started using home assistant
When I checked the log it seems that only every 10 minutes it changes is there a way to make it faster?
Or can it be the app that is slower?
Got it to work
Thanks for the help
