Hello,

Thank you so much for your work, it's really great.
I wanted to ask if there's a solution, or if there's one in the works, so that the values ​​for grid consumption/feed-in can be updated without constantly opening the EcoFlow app.

It works with the other sensors for solar and storage.

Thanks in advance

I don't think so. But for the feeding in, I use a direct measurement at the meter. For the consumption in the house when nothing comes from the grid, I also rely on the values from the cloud. Or maybe a calculation from solar minus charge? I need to think about that....

For me sysGridPwr has been a fixed value since at least April, even though I've made frequent use of the app and the portal in that time.
Like @niltrip I have CTs on the grid input and the supplies to the Power Ocean inverters separately connected to HA.

Good afternoon.

I have a powerocean system and I was researching and doing several tests and I came across the same problem regarding the grid sensor having a mind of its own and it not updating on its own, it can go for 1 hour without updating, it can update every 5 seconds, etc.

After several tests I checked the following if you have the browser open and logged in and visible on the screen (it cannot be in a separate tab) what is happening with the system I found that the grid sensor and the rest like the production battery house are always synchronizing.

It leads me to think that there must be some limitation with synchronization that only updates certain sensors if the browser is open.

Now it would be possible for this integration to have some way of running the original site in the background so that this situation is resolved

There is a guide on Reddit explaining the setup.
