Implausible values from Grid Energy Consumption Total

[rhoegen]

Hi all,

first of all thanks a lot for the great integration. It is really working well and is used as the heart of my energy management with HA.

I currently have an issue that probably has its origin in an update from RCT. I have two PowerStorage DC 10.0 in Master/Slave Mode. The Master always provided the "Grid Energy Consumption Total" Entity without a problem. After the Update to the control software "2.3.5658" (Battery Software 5597), the Entity updates only daily with always exactly the same value, which seems implausible.

What I've tried to do:

• Restart RCT devices
• Restart HA
• Reload Integration
• Remove Entity from Energy Dashboard, Restart HA and add Entity again

Does anyone have a similar issue with the current software from RCT?

Thanks and best regards

René

Update: Switched the Grid Energy Consumption with the Entity from the Slave and now it looks more realistic:

I will check this with the energy meter from the provider to see if the overall numbers match.

@rhoegen, thanks for reaching out! If the inverter is responding with implausible values there's unfortunately little we can do. In svalouch/python-rctclient#22 the community describes various manifestations of similar symptoms. Please let us know if you find out anything that can (in)validate the assumption that it's a problem in the inverter's firmware.
