return electricity to the grid"

[civic cliff]

Ik like to measure the electricity that my solar panels return to the grid.
I always did this with plugs from plugwise where i could tick a box: returning elec to the grid.
Are there plugs that works with ha that could do this? or a setting for an existing zigbee plug orso?

Hi @civic cliff do you still have these Plugs (and Stick)?

If yes, do you know about this custom_component? https://github.com/plugwise/plugwise_usb-beta

Some coding-friends and I have been working on this piece of code making it work well. And adding support for what you show above 🙂

[civic cliff]

Yes i know, but i also think it would be a great idea if you can use any plug for this in ha

[rancid brook]

The newer Plugwise Plugs have that capability. The IKEA Inspelning does NOT have that capability.

That's all the type of plugs I have, next to the original Circle-type plugs 🙂

The newer Plug works standalone with ZigBee2MQTT.

As does the Inspelning.

and it is possible to get this to work with homeassistant?

i have thirdreality zigbee plugs and can't find it

[civic cliff]

i heard it's a disaster in combination with ramsesrf (with hgi80)

[rancid brook]

You mean get ZigBee2MQTT to work with HA?

Yes it works well for me. I use a Zigstar UZG-01 as the coordinator device.

Sorry, I've never heard of ramsesrf. But yes 2 USB dongles might give troubles. I use a 433MHz RF thingy, also USB. Both the Stick and this device are working fine in HA.

[civic cliff]

you can use ramsesrf to control youre evohome local, so without cloud/internet. hei did sent me some screenshots with the problem but only removing the plugwise stick did solve it

[civic cliff]

no i'm sorry, i mean can not find a way to set the thirdreality zigbee plugs te deliver electricity back to the net

[rancid brook]

Do these thirdreality plugs support production? I'm looking at the website/manual and it's not fully clear to me if they do.

[rancid brook]

Also, looks like ZigBee2MQTT provides a negative power number when such a negative value is received.

i use zha, i will try to just connect my solarpanels to the plug and we will se what happens
