Real-Time Aggregated Power

Real-Time Aggregated Power

What it shows

A live line chart of power across all your sources at once (Grid, Gen, Load, PV and Storage). New readings arrive continuously and the lines scroll along, so you watch the site change moment to moment.

For history over a chosen day, use Power Analytics instead.

Where to find it

Open Dashboard, click the pencil in the dashboard top bar to enter edit mode, click Add New Widget, search the picker for Real-Time Aggregated Power, then click Add Widget.

Reading it

Each source is its own line, shown in W or VA. W is the real power you use and pay for; VA is apparent power and is always the same or higher. Storage % shows the battery's state of charge on its own line.

The chart keeps a fixed number of recent points on screen; as a new reading comes in, the oldest one drops off the left.

Settings

Open the tile's settings with the spanner icon.

  • Title - rename the widget. New tiles start as "Live Chart".
  • Data Interval - how wide the live window is: 3, 15, 30, 60, 90 or 120. A larger setting keeps more readings on screen and shows a longer stretch; a smaller one gives a tighter view of right now. New tiles start on 3.
