Shared solar plant

[galodi]

Hi,

I have a shared solar plant with my neighbors where I get quota 15% of the plant production but the data I get through the API and the integration is 100% of the plant production.

Is there any way this 15% quota can be set in the HA energy dashboard?

Thanks

Is this sharing a feature in the Huawei Software? Of just an agreement between you and your neighbours?
I don't recall anything about this in the documentation.

I think the best way for you is to work with helpers that take 15% from the values you want to interact on.

Thanks for your feedback. Yes, this is an agreement between neighbor and not feature of the software. Following your tip I am trying to create a new sensor as follows but I unable to get it shown in the solar panels sensor in the energy dashboard. Any suggestion what I am doing wrong?

sensor:

• platform: template
  sensors:
  solar_production_15_percent:
  unique_id: "Solar_Production_15%"
  friendly_name: "Solar Production (15%)"
  device_class: energy
  value_template: "{{ states('sensor.XXXX_total_current_day_energy') | float * 0.15 }}"
  unit_of_measurement: "kWh"

In the energy dashboard you need to use the sensor.XXX_total_lifetime_energy sensor

@galodi did that work?

Yes, I finally got it to work but I had to create the custom sensor through the helpers option instead of directly editing the configuration.yaml file. Now it is working fine and I get in the energy dashboard the 15% of the production.
Many thanks for your help and your integration which works great!
