Hello everyone,
I have a comprehension question, because I can’t figure it out.
My goal is to create a graph that shows the current + already made PV production and the expected forcast.
I would like to have a virtual display of how much PV electricity could still be available today.
I want to use the forecast value to determine whether there would be enough power available for the dishwasher, for example, or to start it automatically during the day.
(Dishwasher is still to come, is still on order, can’t test anything).
I have been connecting my PV system to openHAB for years and log everything.
It works wonderfully.
I have the current production in watts there and can display it as a progression diagram.
I have now seen and installed the Solar Forcast binding.
I’m currently using it in free mode without the ForecastSolar PV API key.
I have also created the individual channels.
However, when I now want to create a diagram, it doesn’t work at all.
I currently have the following problems:
- I think the values of the API are formatted incorrectly, I think they are all x1000. So not 10 watts but 10000 watts.
- If I add the current production and forcast to a page as a chart, I get both lines displayed
- If I set an offset of 1 day to the forcast, only the forecast line is displayed, everything else is missing
How do I make this chart?
Can someone here possibly write me the individual steps?
I don’t understand it and the documentation was unfortunately not very helpful.
There is a video on YouTube in (I think) Italian where a nice gentleman shows how to create the diagrams, but it didn’t work 100% for me.
It would be great if everything could be set up via the web interface and there was no need to experiment with config files.
I read a lot about config files in the documentation.
