Solar tile

The flow of power between solar panels, the grid, a battery and the house.

In a dashboard file: "type": "solar", with the options below. Every tile also has the fields under Every tile.

Example

A tile, as it goes in a screen’s tiles:

{
    "type": "solar",
    "label": "Energy",
    "layout": { "x": 1, "y": 1, "width": 3, "height": 3 },
    "dataSources": {
        "pv": {
            "connection": "demo",
            "params": { "device": "energy", "value": "pv" }
        },
        "use": {
            "connection": "demo",
            "params": { "device": "energy", "value": "house" }
        },
        "grid": {
            "connection": "demo",
            "params": { "device": "energy", "value": "grid" }
        },
        "battery": {
            "connection": "demo",
            "params": { "device": "energy", "value": "batteryPower" }
        },
        "soc": {
            "connection": "demo",
            "params": { "device": "energy", "value": "batterySoc" }
        }
    },
    "options": {
        "pv": "pv",
        "load": "use",
        "grid": "grid",
        "batteryCharge": "battery",
        "batterySoc": "soc"
    }
}

It reads the demo home: in a dashboard with the connection "demo": { "driver": "demo", "config": {} }, it works as it is. To read a device of your own, its data source names one of your connections, with the params of that connection’s driver (Connections and data sources).

Options

Field	Type	Default	What
load	data source name		Use. One of the tile’s data sources, by name, that gives a number. What the house uses, in W.
pv	data source name		Solar panels. One of the tile’s data sources, by name, that gives a number. What the panels give, in W.
batteryCharge	data source name		Battery charge. One of the tile’s data sources, by name, that gives a number. Out of the battery (or into it, below 0), in W.
grid	data source name		Grid. One of the tile’s data sources, by name, that gives a number. From the grid (or to it, below 0), in W.
gridVoltage	data source name		Grid voltage. One of the tile’s data sources, by name, that gives a number. In V.
batterySoc	data source name		Battery level. One of the tile’s data sources, by name, that gives a number. In %.
design	one of quiet (Quiet cross), classic	quiet	Design. How the flows are drawn. A look option: a tile style can set it.
