HomeAssistant integration

The integration of Daly2MQTT in HomeAssistant has changed fundamentally. SoftWareCrash and Jarnsen did a Discover together. This means that no entries are required in the configuration.yaml to create the sensors.

Requirements:

1. MQTT broker installed in HomeAssistant

2. Daly2MQTT must be installed and MQTT must be configured.

3. There must be data in the WebUI.

Integration in HomeAssistant:

1. Check whether data is available in the WebUI!!

2. Go to Settings

3. Go to Configure and click HA Discovery on

4. Click Save settings, the ESP will do a reboot

Display in HomeAssistant

1. As a device in MQTT list

2. The device itself

3. In the dashboard

If there no data in the dashboard, reboot Home Assistant!!!

Daly does not provide charged and discharged energy sensors. But we can do this ourselves very quickly.

1. Go to the configuration.yaml and create the following template sensors. Adapt it to your circumstances. The sensor you are accessing is Pack_Power. From this you create charged and discharged in W

DISCHARGE

template:
  - sensor:
    - name: "energypack_pack_power_export"
      unique_id: energypack_pack_power_export
      unit_of_measurement: 'W'
      device_class: power
      state_class: measurement
      state: >-
        {% if (states('sensor.energypack_pack_power'))|float(0) < 0 %}
        {{ (states('sensor.energypack_pack_power'))|float(0) * -1 }}
        {% else %}
        {{ 0 }}
        {% endif %}
      availability: "{{
            [ states('sensor.energypack_pack_power')
            ] | map('is_number') | min
          }}"

CHARGE

- name: "energypack_pack_power_import"
      unique_id: energypack_pack_power_import
      unit_of_measurement: 'W'
      device_class: power
      state_class: measurement
      state: >-
          {% if (states('sensor.energypack_pack_power'))|float(0) > 0 %}
            {{ states('sensor.energypack_pack_power')|float(0) }}
          {% else %}
            {{ 0 }}
          {% endif %}
      availability: "{{
            [ states('sensor.energypack_pack_power')
            ] | map('is_number') | min
          }}"

2. Go to settings, devices, helper and create one for charge and one for discharge

The sensors created by the helpers are only created when power has flowed in the respective direction. Once both are created you can add them to the energy dashboard as a battery

thanks to @Jarnsen for the work!!!
