Dashboards
Under construction and to be verified ...
- Dashboards Ideas/Proposals only.
- Alpha version at this stage. Especially the persistant template sensors should be validated by the community.
- No support by "Huawei Solar" integration.
- Not for HA beginners ...
Already opened Discussion: Wiki > Dashboard #355
To be constructed by your own based on Level Two - Row 2.
| Dashboard | Column | Integration | Custom Sensors | Cards | Background Image | Image Size |

All Sensors shiped by
Huawei SolarIntegration, including the Diagnostic and the less popular sensors which are disabled by default.- The less popular to be enabled after installation by going to the settings page of the relevant device, clicking on +XX entities not shown, clicking in the relevant sensor and then clicking Enable in the settings window.
-
All advandced Configuration sensors by using the elevate permissions feature.
- To be activated during Integration installation.
- The advanced Configuration sensors are extremely useful especially for battery management/control.

Huawei Solar integration only exposes the information and functions made available by Huawei Solar inverters firmware, directly via one of its Modbus interfaces in Home Assistant.
But under specific conditions Inverter, Battery and Power Meter figures do not fit together and/or are incomplete.
A couple of adaptations are required to archieve an reliable reporting and monitoring:
| Integration | Custom sensors | Subfolder | Package name | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Huawei Solar | Solar Yield | packages | huawei-solar-yield-package.yaml | Yield of solar panels and required corrections for efficiency losses or overproduction by the inverter. |
| Huawei Solar | Battery Status | packages | huawei-solar-battery-card-package.yaml | |
| Huawei Solar | Battery Corrections | packages | huawei-solar-battery-correction-package.yaml | |
| Huawei Solar | Diagnostics | packages | huawei-solar-diagnostic-package.yaml | |
| Huawei Solar | Power Flows | packages | huawei-solar-power-flow-card-package.yaml | |
| Huawei Solar | Energy Flows | packages | huawei-solar-energy-flow-card-package.yaml | |
| Solcast Solar | Remaining Solar Forecast | packages | solcast-solar-package.yaml | Improvements to archive the most accurate remaining solar forecast actually (this minute) |
Include above package files into configuration.yaml:
homeassistant:
packages:
huawei_solar_yield: !include packages/huawei-solar-yield-package.yaml
huawei_solar_battery_card: !include packages/huawei-solar-battery-card-package.yaml
