More Values visible in HK?

[eSportler89]

First of all I would like to thank you for your work, everything is working very well so far.

What would be nice now, would also be the display of the other retrieved data in Homekit.
Currently, only the current consumption is displayed as a brightness sensor. What about the other values such as reference from the grid and the energy generated by the panels?

Comparable to the sensors which Stepir can display:
Instant Power production of your house (expressed in KW)
Instant Power consumption of your house (expressed in KW)
Instant Grid feed/consumption (expressed in KW)
Instant Power charge/load to/from your house battery (expressed in KW)
Instant State of Charge of your house battery (expressed in %)

You already retrieve all the data for this.

Thanks in advance for your feedback :)

Those additional measurements, to/from grid, etc... require a SolarEdge Energy Meter which is not part of my existing solar panel system. This makes development more of a guessing game.

Maybe this information could make it a little bit easier?
Actually you only use "LOAD" and "chargeLevel".
In my humble opinion, only a new sensor would have to be created that does not display "LOAD" but still "GRID" and "PV".

Thanks as well from my end for your work - I appreciate this discussion is not recent, but did you ever have a chance to look at this a bit further? Having the load of the house and import / export from and to the grid side available as sensors would be incredibly useful.
I understand that it is hard to test without having the hardware, but looking at the data shown in the homebridge log the GRID and LOAD numbers are already (correctly) reported as sSportler89 has mentioned above - would it be possible to "just" present them as sensors?
Thanks in advance for your feedback!

Thanks, seems like everybody has moved on to home assistant on this one - guess will do the same ;-)

Dude... this guy did it for free. If you want it built, build it yourself OR you know... sponsor it.
