Feedback

I have a victron system, linked via MQTT.
MQTT integration produces an output of tota solar production (from initial use) in kWh.
Here is a sensor in mqtt.yaml that is happily displayed in other dashboards:

In MQTT.yaml

Total Solar Energy

  • name: "Energy Solar Total"
    unique_id: "Energy Solar Total"
    device_class: energy
    state_topic: "victron/N/c061XXXXX6d7/solarcharger/1/Yield/System"
    value_template: '{{ value_json.value|float(0)|round(0) }}'
    unit_of_measurement: "kWh"
    icon: mdi:solar-panel
    ==============
    However, its NOT possible to use this solar output in the "energy" dashboard under solar because it never comes up. This is despite it having "energy" and "solar" in its attributes and is measured in "kWh".
    This is a bit of a failing, IMHO.
