From c9481500c65b1cc60fddd5b816f223782dcacb75 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mark Purcell <79175134+purcell-lab@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Tue, 27 Feb 2024 16:35:53 +1000 Subject: [PATCH] Update powerwall.markdown description (#31604) Updated to better reflect the differences between the Powerwall Gateway device sensors and the Powerwall Battery devices and sensors. Removed % charge description for each Powerwall battery device as this integration no longer provides that sensor (it was a calculated sensor). Updated consistent descriptions for Power and Energy entities, including explanation of negative values. --- source/_integrations/powerwall.markdown | 35 ++++++++++++------------- 1 file changed, 17 insertions(+), 18 deletions(-) diff --git a/source/_integrations/powerwall.markdown b/source/_integrations/powerwall.markdown index e8d302fba57..67e5580ff51 100644 --- a/source/_integrations/powerwall.markdown +++ b/source/_integrations/powerwall.markdown @@ -47,42 +47,41 @@ The following binary sensors are added for each Backup Gateway: The following sensors are added for each Backup Gateway aggregated across all Powerwalls: - Powerwall Backup Reserve - Reserve energy for grid outages in % -- Powerwall Battery Now - Usage in kW +- Powerwall Battery Now - Power in kW (negative for charging) - Powerwall Charge - Percent charge remaining in % -- Powerwall Generator Now - Usage in kW (if applicable) -- Powerwall Load Now - Load usage in kW -- Powerwall Solar Now - Solar usage in kW (if applicable) -- Powerwall Site Now - Site usage in kW +- Powerwall Generator Now - Power in kW (if applicable) +- Powerwall Load Now - Power in kW +- Powerwall Solar Now - Power in kW (if applicable) +- Powerwall Site Now - Power in kW (negative for grid export) - Powerwall Backup Reserve - Percentage of battery which will be reserved for a grid outage -- Frequency/ Average Current/ Average Voltage Now +- Frequency/ Average Current/ Average Voltage Now - in Hertz, Amps and Volts -The following sensors show the direction of energy in aggregate: +The following sensors measure lifetime energy flow: - Powerwall Solar Export - Solar energy exported in kWh -- Powerwall Solar Import - Solar energy imported in kWh +- Powerwall Solar Import - Solar energy imported in kWh (generally near zero) - Powerwall Site Export - Site energy exported in kWh - Powerwall Site Import - Site energy imported in kWh - Powerwall Battery Export - Battery energy exported in kWh - Powerwall Battery Import - Battery energy imported in kWh -- Powerwall Load Export - Load energy exported in kWh +- Powerwall Load Export - Load energy exported in kWh (generally zero) - Powerwall Load Import - Load energy imported in kWh -- Powerwall Generator Export - Generator energy exported in kWh +- Powerwall Generator Export - Generator energy exported in kWh - Powerwall Generator Import - Generator energy imported in kWh -The following sensors are added for each Powerwall: -- Powerwall Battery Capacity - Capacity in kWh -- Powerwall Battery Remaining - Remaining capacity in kWh -- Frequency/ Average Current/ Average Voltage Now -- Powerwall Load Now - Load usage in kW +A Powerwall battery device for each battery, connected to the Powerwall Gateway, with the following sensors: +- Powerwall Battery Capacity - Energy in kWh +- Powerwall Battery Remaining - Remaining energy in kWh +- Frequency/ Average Current/ Average Voltage Now in Hertz, Amps and Volts +- Powerwall Battery Power - Battery power in kW (negative for charging) - Powerwall Battery Export - Battery energy exported in kWh - Powerwall Battery Import - Battery energy imported in kWh -- Powerwall Charge - Percent charge remaining in % -- Powerwall Grid State - State of grid power +- Powerwall Grid State - Battery grid compliance ### Switch -The following switches are added for each Powerwall Backup Gateway: +The following switch is added for the Powerwall Backup Gateway: - Off-Grid operation - Take your Powerwall off-grid (simulate a grid outage)
