* Update pvoutput.markdown
Replaced some single quotes with double quotes in the pvoutput template. Current template throwing errors similar to these (line numbers will vary based on configuration.yaml file:
```
Configuration invalid
CHECK CONFIG
Error loading /config/configuration.yaml: while parsing a block mapping
in "/config/configuration.yaml", line 408, column 9
expected <block end>, but found '<scalar>'
in "/config/configuration.yaml", line 408, column 56
```
Updated template configuration fixes these errors.
* ✏️ Tweak

The pvoutput sensor platform consumes information from PVOutput which were uploaded by your solar photovoltaic (PV) system.
To add PVOutput details to your installation, add the following to your configuration.yaml file:
# Example configuration.yaml entry
sensor:
- platform: pvoutput
system_id: YOUR_SYSTEM_ID
api_key: YOUR_API_KEY
scan_interval: 120
{% configuration %} api_key: description: Your API key. A read-only key is fine. required: true type: string system_id: description: The ID of your station. required: true type: string name: description: Name of the sensor. required: false default: PVOutput type: string {% endconfiguration %}
It's recommended to set scan_interval: according to a value greater than 60 seconds. The service only allows 60 requests per hour but the sensor's default is 30 seconds.
To format the PVoutput sensor it's recommended to use the template component. For example:
{% raw %}
sensor:
- platform: pvoutput
system_id: YOUR_SYSTEM_ID
api_key: YOUR_API_KEY
scan_interval: 150
- platform: template
sensors:
power_consumption:
value_template: '{% if is_state_attr("sensor.pvoutput", "power_consumption", "NaN") %}0{% else %}{{ state_attr("sensor.pvoutput", "power_consumption") }}{% endif %}'
friendly_name: 'Using'
unit_of_measurement: 'Watt'
energy_consumption:
value_template: '{{ "%0.1f"|format(state_attr("sensor.pvoutput", "energy_consumption")|float/1000) }}'
friendly_name: 'Used'
unit_of_measurement: 'kWh'
power_generation:
value_template: '{% if is_state_attr("sensor.pvoutput", "power_generation", "NaN") %}0{% else %}{{ state_attr("sensor.pvoutput", "power_generation") }}{% endif %}'
friendly_name: 'Generating'
unit_of_measurement: 'Watt'
energy_generation:
value_template: '{% if is_state_attr("sensor.pvoutput", "energy_generation", "NaN") %}0{% else %}{{ "%0.2f"|format(state_attr("sensor.pvoutput", "energy_generation")|float/1000) }}{% endif %}'
friendly_name: 'Generated'
unit_of_measurement: 'kWh'
{% endraw %}
