Hi everyone, I wanted to share my experience with integrating solar power monitoring and scripting in rules. I’ve been working on a system to track energy consumption and generation, and it’s been quite a journey!
First, I set up a solar monitoring system using a Flukso device for energy IN and a Solaredge system for energy OUT. I calculate the difference between these two values to get the net energy consumption. This data is then visualized in graphs, which helps me understand my energy usage patterns.
One challenge I faced was figuring out how to trigger scripts from multiple rules without duplicating code. I discovered that saving scripts and referencing them in rules is a great way to maintain consistency and reduce redundancy. This approach has been incredibly helpful, especially when multiple rules need to execute the same action.
I also wanted to mention the importance of accurate sensor data. Ensuring that my sensors are correctly configured and providing reliable readings has been crucial for the success of my system. I highly recommend double-checking sensor settings and calibration if you’re experiencing discrepancies in your data.
Overall, integrating these systems has been a rewarding experience. It’s not only helped me monitor my energy usage but has also provided valuable insights into optimizing my solar setup. I’m excited to continue refining my system and exploring new ways to enhance its functionality.
If anyone has tips or experiences to share on similar setups, I’d love to hear them! Happy tinkering!
