Home Assistant "Energy Dashboard"

Energy Dashboard isn't actually live. It lags behind by an hour.

Entities

Electricity Grid

• SolaX Gen2
• Grid consumption - You need to enable "Grid Import Total"
• Return to grid - You need to enable "Grid Export Total"
• SolaX Gen 3 & Gen4
• Grid consumption - sensor.solax_today_s_import_energy
• Return to grid - sensor.solax_today_s_export_energy

Solar Panels

• SolaX Gen2 - 4
• Solar production - sensor.solax_today_s_solar_energy

Home Battery Storage

• SolaX Gen2
• Energy going to the battery (kWh) - You need to enable "Battery Input Energy Total"
• Energy coming out of the battery (kWh) - You need to enable "Battery Output Energy Total"
• SolaX Gen3 & Gen4
• Energy going to the battery (kWh) - sensor.solax_battery_input_energy_today
• Energy coming out of the battery (kWh) - sensor.solax_battery_output_energy_today
