Solar-Log	Instructions on how to integrate Solar-Log sensors within Home Assistant.	Energy Sensor	0.101	Local Polling	true	@Ernst79	solarlog	sensor	integration

The solarlog integration uses the open JSON interface on Solar-Log PV monitoring systems to allow you to get details from your Solar-Log device and integrate these into your Home Assistant installation.

Before being able to use the integration, you have to activate the open JSON interface on your Solar-Log device. This can be activated from the Configuration | System | Access control menu of your Solar-Log device. When activating the interface, a red warning triangle with security information and risks is displayed.

The solarlog integration uses the default host address "http://solar-log" if you don't specify a host. If your device isn't accessible on this address, use its IP Address instead.

The open JSON interface is deactivated by default. To activate the open JSON interface, a user password must first be set. The password isn't needed for accessing the open JSON interface.

Additional template sensor

In case you would like to convert the values, for example, to Wh instead of the default kWh, you can use the template platform.

# Example configuration.yaml entry for sensor template platform
template:
  - sensor:
    - name: "Solarlog yield day"
      state: "{{ (states('sensor.solarlog_yield_day') | float(default=0) * 1000) | round(0,default=0) }}"

{% endraw %}

Sensors

The following sensors are available in the library:

name	Unit	Description
last_update		Time of latest data update.
power_ac	W	Total output PAC from all of the inverters and meters in inverter mode.
power_dc	W	Total output PAC from all of the inverters.
voltage_ac	V	Average voltage AC from the inverter.
voltage_dc	V	Average voltage DC from the inverter
yield_day	kWh	Total yield for the day from all of the inverters
yield_yesterday	kWh	Total yield for the previous day from all of the inverters.
yield_month	kWh	Total yield for the month from all of the inverters.
yield_year	kWh	Total yield for the year from all of the inverters.
yield_total	kWh	Total yield from all of the inverters.
consumption_ac	kWh	Current total consumption AC from all of the consumption meters.
consumption_day	kWh	Total consumption for the day from all of the consumption meters.
consumption_yesterday	kWh	Total consumption for the previous day from all of the consumption meters.
consumption_month	kWh	Total consumption for the month from all of the consumption meters.
consumption_year	kWh	Total consumption for the year from all of the consumption meters.
consumption_total	kWh	Accumulated total consumption from all consumption meters.
installed_peak_power	W	Installed solar peak power.
alternator_loss	W	Altenator loss (equals to power_dc - power_ac)
capacity	%	Capacity (equals to power_dc / total power)
efficiency	%	Efficiency (equals to power_ac / power_dc)
power_available	W	Available power (equals to power_ac - consumption_ac)
usage	%	Usage (equals to consumption_ac / power_ac)

The solarlog integration is using the sunwatcher pypi package to get the data from your Solar-Log device. The last five sensors are not reported by your Solar-Log device directly, but are computed by the sunwatcher package.
