I recently got solar installed at my place and was wondering if anyone had tips on things like:
- Using the Energy dashboard effectively
- Template Sensors I should set up for energy tracking
- Graphs or visualising production/usage in dashboards
- Automations that you’ve used to help save using energy from the grid
I had more success with using my energy monitor sensors than my inverter ones. My inverter (SolarEdge) seemed to have a fairly low refresh rate, and there’s also no information on power use.
I have a Sense energy monitor that has real time measurements and instead use that for my dashboard production and usage graph.
