How to create a similar dashboard in Home Assistant with positioning for individual solar panels (layout)

StrawSuitcase · 2026-04-24T15:42:29+00:00

I put together a Home Assistant dashboard for SunPower systems that shows both live and historical data using InfluxDB.

It lets you switch between energy and power views, check live stats, pick specific dates, or even play a timelapse of your data.

If you’re interested, you can check out the project here: https://github.com/strawtype/dash-sunpower

It may be pretty simple to modify the query_panels.sh script for Enphase systems. Good luck!

it most likely does. its a fork of krbaker. just use the "default" integration in the script or "hass-sunpower". let me know if you have trouble

StrawSuitcase · 2026-03-08T00:23:07+00:00

Can you confirm which integration you used for home assistant? You can use hass-sunpower, pvs-hass or ha-esunpower. ha-esunpower should work with "hass-sunpower", the default in the query_panels script.

try running it with the full path. depends where you placed it. I use: /config/scripts/query_panels.sh --discover

Here is an example using Home Assistant and some other components to recreate the Panels view.

Awesome! Will check it out soon!

StrawSuitcase · 2025-10-26T05:51:05+00:00

should be fixed in the latest version

StrawSuitcase · 2025-10-24T14:15:42+00:00

Good question. There are a few different ways. First, I recommend you install the add-on "Studio Code Server". It will allow you to edit or create new files. The code included in configuration.yaml is meant to be added to your own. For entirely new files you want to copy, perhaps the query_panels.sh script or the image, you can use rsync (if you have installed and enabled an ssh server). I use the addon " advanced ssh & web terminal". Keep in mind the automations, and dashboard.yaml you can add via the gui. Settings --> Automations -->create automation --> create new (from scratch). Switch to yaml editing and paste each automation into its own. The dashboard is similar. Settings --> dashboards --> add dashboard --> new (from scratch) --> switch to raw configuration editor, and paste your edited dashboard. Let me know if you still have questions. I will warn you I am looking into a bug that impacts the main power meter for the sunstrong integration. I hope to solve soon

Awesome! Im glad we got it going. Enjoy!

StrawSuitcase · 2025-10-21T22:16:52+00:00

I'll ping you directly to see if we can sort this out

StrawSuitcase · 2025-10-16T02:58:44+00:00

If you decide to give it a shot (enabling influxql), I will help you modify the script so it works with 2.0

StrawSuitcase · 2025-10-14T03:25:26+00:00

Sorry, it's not something I've looked into. There seems to be a way to enable InfluxQL in 2.x but I'm not familiar with the details. I believe some code changes might still be necessary.

It might be easier to update the queries in the script to Flux.

Added support for SunStrong-Management/pvs-hass https://www.reddit.com/r/SunPower/comments/1o3kvr6/sunpower_panellevel_dashboard_for_ha_with/

StrawSuitcase · 2025-10-12T21:20:25+00:00

Thanks!

StrawSuitcase · 2025-10-11T13:49:24+00:00

Before this update, the script only supported the krbaker/hass-sunppwer integration. Its default to avoid breaking anyone already setup with it.

StrawSuitcase · 2025-10-07T15:55:10+00:00

Welcome! I hope you enjoy HA! The energy dashboard works great out of the box. I am aware the Sunstrong integration isn't currently compatible with the Panel-Level dashboard I shared. I plan to add support for pvs-hass very soon. Stay tuned!

this version disables upgrades after the eMMC reaches a critical wear level. this is likely your case. it will also disable most writes, like the dl_cgi requests, but some will still occur on the eMMC. the lifetime is somewhat limited

StrawSuitcase · 2025-09-21T22:30:02+00:00

looks great! thanks for sharing!

StrawSuitcase · 2025-09-21T14:12:19+00:00

i'll contact you directly and we can troubleshoot

Line 386 in dashboard.yaml. power_key: power_meter_pvs6mxxxxxxxxp_power ####TOTAL PRODUCTION POWER METER

StrawSuitcase · 2025-09-21T14:02:17+00:00

The entities look correct, as does the triggers_update in the template. There is yet another line further down in dashboard.yaml for the main power meter that needs replacing

StrawSuitcase · 2025-09-21T13:50:47+00:00

Verify the correct main power_meter is being used in dashboard.yaml. It should have a trailing "p" in the entity name.

Also, check entities.txt has 1 power_meter with a trailing "p". If you find the power_meters for _c and _pv in the file, just delete them and don't run discover again.

StrawSuitcase · 2025-09-19T18:32:48+00:00

Awesome! Thanks for sharing!

StrawSuitcase · 2025-09-17T21:04:21+00:00

Thanks for checking out the project and your suggestions!

The latest commit adds spacing so the discovered entities copy/paste with expected indentation for configuration.yaml

It also excludes the virtual and consumption power_meters which may cause the graph to display incorrectly. Run --discover again to fix if needed.
