Trying to figure out why the monthly card isn't populating because to me it looks like it is pointing to the daily totals and if I understand slipx correctly it should update daily and then at the end of the month you end up with your montly total?

Any ideas what the issue might be

Have you tried creating a monthly view for just one sensor?

type: custom:plotly-graph
view_layout:
  grid-area: daily
entities:
  - entity: sensor.daily_pv_power_kwh
    statistic: sum
    name: |
      $fn ({ ys,meta }) =>
        "Solar" + "" + "(" +ys[ys.length - 1]+"kWh)"
    period: month
    type: bar
    texttemplate: '%{y}'
    filters:
      - delta
    marker:
      color: rgb(255, 155, 48)
hours_to_show: 12M
title: Daily PV Power
refresh_interval: 600
defaults:
  yaxes:
    fixedrange: true
layout:
  legend:
    bgcolor: rgba(0,0,0,0)
    itemsizing: constant
    font:
      size: 11
  height: 410
config:
  displayModeBar: false
  scrollZoom: false

@-cK- Thanks yes, I've updated the long life token.

The first error is at Plant ID the last is at get bearer token account or password error with multiple errors between the two.

If I set it to a Month I get nothing

If I set it to Day or Week I get data

Trying the first suggestions did kick out this:

Key 'entities.0.statistic' is not expected or not supported by the visual editor.
Key 'entities.0.period' is not expected or not supported by the visual editor.
Key 'entities.0.type' is not expected or not supported by the visual editor.
Key 'entities.0.texttemplate' is not expected or not supported by the visual editor.
Key 'entities.0.filters' is not expected or not supported by the visual editor.
Key 'entities.0.marker' is not expected or not supported by the visual editor.
The provided value for 'entities.0' is not supported by the visual editor. We support (string) but received ({"entity":"sensor.sunsynk_load_today","statistic":"sum","name":"$fn ({ ys,meta }) =>\n \"Solar\" + \"\" + \"(\" +ys[ys.length - 1]+\"kWh)\"\n","period":"month","type":"bar","texttemplate":"%{y}","filters":["delta"],"marker":{"color":"rgb(255, 155, 48)"}}).
The provided value for 'hours_to_show' is not supported by the visual editor. We support (number) but received ("12M").
Key 'defaults' is not expected or not supported by the visual editor.
Key 'layout' is not expected or not supported by the visual editor.
Key 'config' is not expected or not supported by the visual editor.

You can still edit your config in YAML.

Looks like you don't have enough data points, only a couple of days so you just have to wait.

@SteveRCT just recheck your login credentials to be sure in the configuration file is correct both login and password.

To me it looks like the login is failing but I'm not the expert. If those are correct best would be to see if @Gary Waterworth pops in to assist you. Might need to send him some debug info if it is not a simple resolution to the problem.

Where in the flow is it that it is not moving forward:

Hi

Based on this :

You have used the region 2 node red flows. This wont work if you are still logging onto Region 1

Region 2 logs into : https://api.sunsynk.net

Region 1 logs into : https://pv.inteless.com

I seem to recall you said you tested on region 1

I havent fully tested Region 2 yet as my plants have not been moved 😕 so I have nothing to test against. I have been a bit quiet on development until mine have moved

Use teh one on this link : https://github.com/gdwaterworth/Home-Assistant---E-Linter-Logger---Sunsynk/blob/Stable-Release/E-Linter (Region 1) Region Compatible Flows/Gather Files/SunSynk Gather Flow.json

Just some notes on the best attributes to use for statistics .

Dont use the "today" ones. They reset sometimes at odd hours and it screws with the stats.

This is a royal PITA and I have spent too much time trying to make the today ones work.

One of a few quirks I have found with data from the sunsynk website.

Use the "forever" increasing ones that never reset like ( examples ):

They will have *total* in the name

image.png.9500afc8bf22fffec3986ab523e4ab8d.png

When you create the template that uses them. To setup as a energy ( statistic ) do it like this :

  - sensor:
      - name: "Sunsynk Battery etotaldischg"
        state_class: total_increasing
        unique_id: "sensor.sunsynk_battery_etotaldischg"
        device_class: energy
        unit_of_measurement: kWh
        state: >
            {{state_attr('sensor.sunsynk_battery', 'etotaldischg')|float}}

NB :

state_class: total_increasing --> This then takes teh difference between the start and end measurement time to get the ammount used.

Always make sure you convert the string to a float Been caught like this to often where I think it is dealing with a number when it isnt.

Always give it a unique ID. You end up with funny entity crap sometimes when you dont

To check if you are getting data

Development tools -> Stasistics -> Click on icon for entity

Will only see an icon like this for state class: total_increasing.

You can use this to fix errors etc

Should see some collected data points

Oh and of you wants statistics graphs. Good look at : Its a HACS addon.

Much better than the default crap

I think you'll just need to wait as slip06x said.

I've made quite a few improvements to mine since I posted the modified slip06x dashboard above. I'll upload it when I'm done.

I've added grid export for those who use that and Included some costs. I've also changed the layout about a bit to suit my needs more with octupus energy dashboards.

I've also got a basic automation working now with octupus energy for anyone who uses it.

Octupus also offer a feed in tariff based on half hourly prices for the subsequent day. So if there is an arbitrage opportunity where you earn more on the export than the cost of import I plan to automatically charge for 15 mins then turn on grid export based on battery soc levels e.g bring it in at 15p export it at 35p, profit 20p....I have done some very noddy stats but plan to create an arbitrage P&L apex chart using the import/export data and costs from the agile card. Might end up not being worth it, but time will tell. My noddy calculations tell me it will cover the standing charge costs.

Thank you so much Gary, much appreciated I'll test today as I get home today.

FYI I have 2x 5.5kw Sunsynk inverters in my plant i see on the wiki you were interested in debug info. I'll be happy to share once I'm up and running

You should also check out Plotly Graphs.

Thanks

The main sensors should eb fully populated, just keep in mind that the calculated ones dont cater for dual invertors atm. You may have to play a lot

Thanks will probably end up with a few custom Apex and Plotly cards spread out over a few dashboards using bits and pieces extracted from all of the above resources. Testing out what works best for me and and eliminating what does not. 👍 I like things a bit more compartmentalized 😉

@Gary Waterworth Good eve, just got home to test the fix. I have copied the .json from the link you shared earlier.

I receive the exact same issue. You mention that because of the call to api.sunsynk that I may be using the region 2 json file, but same problem. I noticed this in the region 1 json (global.set(\"SS.url.hostname\",\"https://api.sunsynk.net\") ;\n global.set(\"SS.url.hostname\",\"https://pv.inteless.com\");\n\n ) should i delete the global.set(\"SS.url.hostname\",\"https://api.sunsynk.net\") ;\n part? no clue what /n or /n/n means I don't code. 🙈
