Hi all,i have added growatt to my ha. Im setting up the energy dashboard, but im confused what sensor to add to the solar panel production? Is this the total senor a day, or total, all time or...?

#

as long as it's a total it doesn't matter if it's daily, yearly, or all time.

#

all will give the same result

#

And the Solar Production Power, is that what it currently 'produces'? Because i cant select a Datalogger sensor there. Or must this also be a total? @whole light

#

power should be an entity, device_class: power, which reports the current production as a positive number in W or kW.

#

No idea what a datalogger is.

#

Not a total.

Yes, thats what i thought. I cant select it though.

whole light
#

does it have device_class

fiery field
#

no, just checked in settings

#

so i need to make a helper right? no idea how, but ill find it out.

whole light
#

a helper or use customize

#

or file a bug to the integration to fix it.

fiery field
#

helper - template sensor easiest way?

whole light
#

yeah that works

fiery field
#

how do i file a bug?

whole light
#

if it's custom go to that repo

fiery field

chatgpt gives me the following State* regarding the entity. Does that seem right? No idea about the float(0) part?
{{ states('sensor.cu040300dataloggerzonnepanelen_output_power') | float(0) }}
