Thanks and cheers 😀 🍻

For meter device (imported/exported energy) it’s a bit more complex. But there is already another manual and I hope I made it easy enough to add the needed entities:

Thank’s

I now have the Homey Energy dongle installed.  
Thought that one should make the Energy app a bit more usefull.  
Have configured the battery according to the manual.  
Missing the % on the battery, see picture.  
Also missing out data in the top row, see picture.

no total kw from solar in the graph?

What is wrong or missing?

Your solar panel device has no meter\_power capability.  
It’s only showing the current power (solar chart) but not the power meter for overall produced energy.

ok, do you by chance have one of your super good manuals how the solar panel device should be configured?

Not yet, but perhaps soon.

Spoiler: Many inverter don’t have a power meter. But you can create a helper entity for Riemann integral so sum up current power to a virtual meter. Then you can import this meter entity as meter\_power.

Which app do you use for the solar panels?

</div>

now i combined the 2 inverters active power measurements to one sensor.  
added that one to the custom device that had the solar panels.

Total pv added as Entity **“Measure Power”**  
Total Active Power added as Entity **“Meter Power”**  
Correct?

Device class set as **“solar panel”.**

in the settings, should it be **yes or no** in the option include in total energy?

some values start to show up now, still counting.

Looks good.  
Include in total energy should be ‘no’, because totals are only used for the main meter.

Have integrated Goodwe Experimental “Hacs” into Home Assistant.

Then i make the logic with advanced flow in Homey.  
To change Inverter settings from Homey i have made virtual buttons in HA that i “push” from Homey. Imported the buttons with the HA Community app.

Any idea of why the unit is MWh on the top row on solarpanel & home, also on the solar energy graph the unit is Mwh. This was in KWh yesterday evening.  
Has not touched anything.

It is possible to change the layout of the app? E.g.: I would like to see first the Total energy diagram then Gas, then Water, etc.

Not currently, to my knowledge.  
You might want to submit this as a feature request to [Support | Homey](https://homey.app/support/) 😀.

Any tip/idea why I have no % on the battery status?

I don’t know. I’m not Athom 🙂  
That’s a GUI decision (mobile app).

Hello, I must be very stupid, but I can’t find any custom devices when I want to follow the tutorial. Is there a developer option or something else to enable to have them?

I translate for you 😉

Are you using the HA community app? The official Athom app has not such features.
