This is the MINIMALIST version of the Automated Solar Charging Dashboard. This contains only items which relate directly to the control of the Automations - so graphs, weather etc have been excluded.
Paste the following directly into your HA overview.
-
In overview (or your main HA view whatever that is called), click the 3 dots top right and "edit dashboard".
-
Click the 3 dots top right again and choose "raw configuration editor"
-
After "views:" on line 1, click and hit return, then paste the code below into the new line
-
Hit save, then X (top left) to exit
-
Install the following HACS Frontend:
-
You must have "Solcast PV Solar" and "Solax Modbus" HACS Integrations installed and configured to your own system:
- Solcast note: I find that hitting the code button and downloading the zip file has more success with installation.
- The naming convention used with this integration is important. By default, sensors should present as, for example: "sensor.solcast_forecast_tomorrow". When adding this integration, ensure that no changes are made to the naming convention to preserve functionality in this code pack.
- The naming convention used with this integration is important. By default, sensors should present as, for example: "sensor.solax_house_load". When adding this integration, ensure that no changes are made to the naming convention to preserve functionality in this code pack.
