I have a dual inverter setup from Huawei, the solar production takes the value only from one of them, even though I have both of them available in the properties
Is this an a app device or a virtual device?
The energy dashboard only take measure_power and meter_power capabilities from the device - so only one yield because the others are subcapabilities then.
Easiest would be to have two devices mit these capabilities.
If thatâs not possible, exclude your device from energy.
Then create a virtual device and use the trigger on both measurements to sum up power and meter values from both yields into a virtual device with measure_power and meter_power.
Then the virtual device must be set so device class âsolarpanelâ to show up in the dashboard.
Thats the theoretical way. You can try if the DeviceCapabikity app offers a device class selection. Then it should work this way.

I have SolarEdge inverter with battery. The power production only reports the power pruduced and consumed, but not the power stored into the battery.
Would that mean creating a VD device vs. the values reported from the app would be the solution?
It depends⌠For solar power the capability measure_power from the âsolarpanelâ device is used. If the data is stored in another capability, you will get a wrong value.
So it would be good to use this device only for grid in/out.
Then use a VD with measure_power for solar production.
But this will only work if the current device doesnât have device class âsolarpanelâ then.
I think you should ask the app developer (ist it SolarEdge app from Edwin?)
Many zhanks for your response!
Yes, I am using Edwinâs app. I will get in contact with him, but that will happen a bit later, as I am currently travelling with limited access to internet.
Again, many thanks
Markus
