- This is for people that bought the SmartDeyeDongle with an exsting home assistant server.
- This is for anyone with anyone looking to copy some bits and pieces of this desktop for their own solar setup
Please consult the yaml file solarDesktop.yaml that contains all the UI tabs provided in the screenshots, you could just create a new empty desktop and copy the whole contents. If you have a master/slave setup then there are 3 dashboards to install
- solarDesktop_MasterSlaveCombined.yaml
- solarDesktop_MasterSlave_Master.yaml
- solarDesktop_MasterSlave_Slave.yaml
- Terminal server
- Studio code server
- [HACS download] (https://hacs.xyz/docs/setup/download/)
- ha-eskom-loadshedding (https://github.com/wernerhp/ha.integration.load_shedding) or also (https://github.com/swartjean/ha-eskom-loadshedding) You will need to register on sepush (https://eskomsepush.gumroad.com/l/api) for a free account if you are not a business
- Mushroom
- slider-entity-row
- layout-card
- Flexible Horseshoe Card
- Plotly Graph Card
- ApexCharts
- Atomic Calendar Revive
- Sunsynk-Power-Flow-Card (Note that this is now available in HACS, the video shows it still as a custom plugin to be manually added, install is now similar to the others)
Note that the files described in the video will still work they were left to ensure you can get a working version. Configuration.yaml needed configuration.yaml
Future: The preferred way for newer videos would be to place certain config in the packages folder. You need the lines "homeassistant: packages: !include_dir_named packages" from configuration.yaml
and also copy the template.yaml master/slave use template_MasterSlave_System.yaml Future: The templates will be moving to the packages folder packages/smartdeyedongle.yaml
If you plan to use Telegram then also install packages/telegram.yaml
Still here automations.yaml Future: Automation files placed in the packages folder are not editable via the GUI smartdeyedongle_automations.yaml You should copy the content to your automations.yaml file.
Automations: Needed for the time of use configuration (that will copy the values from the inverter to dateTime objects(in home assistant), and when the user edits the time, it will convert the time to the format the inverter expects and update the inverter values via the smartDeyeDongle
Look out for this automation:
