Because with the ESP device it is basically realtime information, not 1min delayed.  
 
But the most important benefit is that you can change settings on your inverter via the ESP device.  So for example you could set the inverter to charge the batteries before load shedding depending on the schedule which can change at any time. This would be all automatic.
 

Guys can someone explain what is Autarky on the power flow card and how it works please ?

No you are better off using one of the other cards. Here is an example of the card I use to set inverter values.

thank you @slipx, I've been using the power flow card for a while now but didn't know about the animations.
now thanks your examples I've implemented the animations. I use a generator on my AUX port so I've got a generator image for the aux and moved it's path a little, also added a few more animations. There is also a dot for Priority Load as I change it via HA based on conditions and I also have overrides to be able to supply inverter power to the fridge and pond during load shedding so added dots for them on the display...
Here's a pic for those that want to see some minor variations...

ok it's coming out, I have some errors to show hide some objects but I'm getting the hang of it

Hi @slipx
I hope you're well
I was wondering if you could assist me in removing the 2 additional mppt's from the card:
I've removed the additional PV entities and reading the wiki and configuration but having no luck.
Thanks as always.
