Make grid optional about tesla-style-solar-power-card

[reptilex]

just as an update, my test version has this running will be online in january

[reptilex]

I'm doing a complete redesign this time on typescript and with better memory and update handling, but it's going to take at least a month. Maybe christmas helps. When that is done this feature would be a no brainer.

To add to this, Maybe every circle and line could be optional.
Use cases could be:

• a standalone solar battery charger (doesn't have to be apart of house power)
• a solar export only system / solar farm
• A house without solar or battery

Or any combination based on the entities given in the card config.

Thanks for posting this, I have added a new patch, but altough it solves the problem, the lines just don't look nice. So if you get the latest js file from the beta you will have the correction. Find it here:
https://github.com/reptilex/tesla-style-solar-power-card/blob/beta1.1/tesla-style-solar-power-card.js

[reptilex]

Interesting, I will check how much work that would be, but probably I can make it work. Give me a few days

That would be awesome, I could also give it a try, but I also have no experience with these sort of plug-ins

Also on that regard for small solar installations displaying the wattage as kW might be too large of a unit. At least for me either having an option to specify it or to make it autoscale would be really nice. Another problem with such small systems is that due to the rounding you have implemented, values lower than 5 Watts are floored to 0.

[reptilex]

That's a good feature request it means a big refactoring, hope to get it done soon. Have started.

[jesserockz]

I tried it locally but my js skill level is not high enough and I made a mess. =)
Almost needed to start again to make it all dynamic.

[reptilex]

Done in Beta. Checkout either the beta release, maybe it's already available through HACS, otherwise either as a release or from the git branch beta1.1. As soon as a few people test this it will become the main branch.

Thanks for the awesome work so far

With the new beta card, and no solar, the layout is overlapped:

type: 'custom:tesla-style-solar-power-card'
grid_consumption_entity: sensor.watts
house_consumption_entity: sensor.watts
grid_to_house_entity: sensor.watts
appliance1_consumption_entity: sensor.charger_power

[enwi]

I am also having some issues. I am using beta1.1.2.

config:

type: 'custom:tesla-style-solar-power-card'
show_w_not_kw: 1
solar_consumption_entity: sensor.solar_01_pl_power
solar_yield_entity: sensor.solar_01_p_power
house_consumption_entity: sensor.solar_01_l_power
battery_charge_entity: sensor.solar_01_b_charge
battery_charging_entity: sensor.solar_01_b_power
battery_consumption_entity: sensor.solar_01_bl_power

Well beta has new configuration variables and a different way of defining things, check the NEW Readme. Your configuration should look more like this:

type: 'custom:tesla-style-solar-power-card'
#bubbles
generation_yield_entity: sensor.solar_01_p_power
battery_consumption_entity: sensor.solar_01_bl_power
house_consumption_entity: sensor.solar_01_l_power
#lines
generation_to_house_entity: sensor.solar_01_pl_power
generation_to_battery: sensor.solar_01_b_power
#extra variables for text
battery_extra_entity: sensor.solar_01_b_charge
#other options
show_w_not_kw: 1

[enwi]

Thanks @reptilex I will try it

[enwi]

@reptilex It's better, but still seems wrong. In the picture I also added the current values of all entities.

[reptilex]

Well three things:

1. You cannot use negative values, you will have to change that one with a template. I'm still trying to figure out how I can make that possible, but it's not as easy as you would think.
2. I was missing a sensor for the flow from battery to power
3. I think you might have found a bug in that the whole lines are too far left due to the missing grid bubble.

type: 'custom:tesla-style-solar-power-card'
#bubbles
generation_yield_entity: sensor.solar_01_p_power
battery_consumption_entity: sensor.solar_01_bl_power
house_consumption_entity: sensor.solar_01_l_power
#lines
generation_to_house_entity: sensor.solar_01_pl_power
generation_to_battery: sensor.solar_01_b_power
battery_to_house: sensor.solar_01_bl_power
#extra variables for text
battery_extra_entity: sensor.solar_01_b_charge
#other options
show_w_not_kw: 1

[reptilex]

The latest beta branch commit has the correction for number 3

[enwi]

Nice, I will try it

[enwi]

@reptilex Still battery data is not shown correctly and panel wattage is wrong (I am still on beta1.1.2)

[reptilex]

can you post your configuration? Do you have one config line per line and per bubble?

[enwi]

@reptilex It's the same as the one you proposed

type: 'custom:tesla-style-solar-power-card'
#bubbles
generation_yield_entity: sensor.solar_01_p_power
battery_consumption_entity: sensor.solar_01_bl_power
house_consumption_entity: sensor.solar_01_l_power
#lines
generation_to_house_entity: sensor.solar_01_pl_power
generation_to_battery: sensor.solar_01_b_power
battery_to_house: sensor.solar_01_bl_power
#extra variables for text
battery_extra_entity: sensor.solar_01_b_charge
#other options
show_w_not_kw: 1

[enwi]

I updated to beta1.1.3, the lines are fixed, but data is still shown incorrectly. The config is still the same.

[reptilex]

Ok, since the last beta the way it works is the following. You just need to define the flows that you have as positive values. Once you do that every required bubble should appear. To have click entities you have to define the click entity separately according to the latest Readme.

[reptilex]

The feature request has been implemented, if you still have problems with the configuration let me know in a new issue, please.
