# Today's solar harvested + household energy used — daily-resetting kWh # sensors for a dashboard indicator. # # This is a Home Assistant *package* (bundles several domains in one file) # so the whole feature installs as one unit. # # Install: # 1. Copy to /lvx6048/daily_energy_package.yaml # 2. In configuration.yaml (once), pull it in as a package: # homeassistant: # packages: # lvx6048_daily_energy: !include lvx6048/daily_energy_package.yaml # 3. Requires template_sensors.yaml already loaded (provides # sensor.lvx6048_stack_ac_output_active_power). # 4. Restart HA. # # Produces two dashboard-ready entities: # sensor.solar_harvested_today kWh — PV generated today (both inverters) # sensor.solar_used_today kWh — household load consumed today # # Data sources & why: # - Harvested: each inverter exposes a *lifetime* Wh counter # (total_pv_generated_energy); the LVX6048 firmware has no daily-energy # query (ED is NAKed). A daily utility_meter on the lifetime counter gives # today's harvest from the inverter's own internal accumulator (accurate). # - Used: no cumulative load counter exists, so the household load *power* # (sensor.lvx6048_stack_ac_output_active_power, sum of both inverters' # AC output from template_sensors.yaml) is Riemann-integrated into energy # and metered daily. This is an estimate; accuracy tracks powermon's GS # poll cadence. Counts only load served by the inverters. # # NOTE: verify the two source entity_ids match your HA install # (Developer Tools -> States): sensor.lvx6048_1_total_pv_generated_energy # and sensor.lvx6048_2_total_pv_generated_energy. template: - sensor: - name: "Solar Harvested Today" unique_id: solar_harvested_today unit_of_measurement: "kWh" device_class: energy state_class: total_increasing icon: mdi:solar-power availability: > {{ has_value('sensor.solar_pv_today_unit_1') and has_value('sensor.solar_pv_today_unit_2') }} state: > {{ ((states('sensor.solar_pv_today_unit_1') | float(0)) + (states('sensor.solar_pv_today_unit_2') | float(0))) / 1000 }} # Riemann-sum integration: household load power (W) -> energy (kWh) sensor: - platform: integration source: sensor.lvx6048_stack_ac_output_active_power name: "Household Load Energy" unique_id: household_load_energy_total unit_prefix: k round: 3 method: trapezoidal # Daily-resetting meters (reset at local midnight) utility_meter: solar_pv_today_unit_1: source: sensor.lvx6048_1_total_pv_generated_energy cycle: daily solar_pv_today_unit_2: source: sensor.lvx6048_2_total_pv_generated_energy cycle: daily solar_used_today: source: sensor.household_load_energy cycle: daily # --------------------------------------------------------------------------- # Dashboard card (paste into a Lovelace view, or Raw config editor): # # type: horizontal-stack # cards: # - type: tile # entity: sensor.solar_harvested_today # name: Harvested Today # icon: mdi:solar-power # color: amber # - type: tile # entity: sensor.solar_used_today # name: Used Today # icon: mdi:home-lightning-bolt # color: blue # ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
