Home-Assistant-Power-Flow-Gauges

Visualize instant power consumption and generation divided by categories at a glance.

Tested on Sigenergy in all modes, including Ai.

The included gauges are:

Consumption
Solar production
Grid import
Grid export
Battery charge
Battery discharge

Pre-requirements

This has not been tested on HA earlier than 2024.9 and requires the following HACS addons:

Apex-Charts card - For the gauges.
lovelace-card-mod - For adding the icons instead of regular text.

Installation

Install the required HACS addons above, if not already installed.
Copy the HA automation and fields file power_flow_gauges_sigen.yaml for Sigenergy systems to your packages directory. (Other EnergyStorageSystems may become available later.). If you don't have such a directory, look at the Sigenergy installation instructions on how to make one.
Restart Home Assistant for the above file to be loaded.
Refference the icons font for the frontend:
- Go to Settings -> Dashboards -> Three dots menu -> Resources.
- Add https://fonts.googleapis.com/icon?family=Material+Icons as a Stylesheet resource.
Create the a new Dashboard and copy the contents of dashboard_icons.yaml to it.
- Go to Settings -> Dashboards -> ADD DASHBOARD -> New Dashboard from scratch
- Give it a name and click CREATE
- Go to the new dashboard and Edit -> Click on Three Dots menu -> Raw configuration editor.
- Remove all existing text and paste the contents from the dashboards_?.yaml file.

Configuration

If using Sigenergy system your all set.

If using another inverter then inside the power_flow_gauges_sigen.yaml, change all entities starting with sigen_ to match the equivalent ones of your ESS.

Known issues

iOS doesn't like the Google icons font and I haven't been able to debug it yet. The text dashboard works fine.
Because this solution uses already existing cards, it can't be installed trough HACS.

Support

If you any kind of assistance, you have two options:

a) Use the github discussion

b) Only if code-related (bugs / contributions): Open an github issue or issue a pullrequest

Happy measuring!
