Ripple Energy in Home Assistant (Tutorial)

Note: when adding your energy sensors to the energy dashboard, make sure to add them to both the return-to-grid AND solar production sections. This ensures that your Home Demand is calculated correctly.

Love your tutorial videos. Not sure I'll be adding mine to my HA, don't want to be reminded of the disappointing returns every day!

How much did you put in to earn 30p a day?

Neat solution and stuff to learn from the way you’ve created the custom sensors and dashboard. I’m in two minds about including it in the energy dashboard or not, yes to see the holistic picture, no because I want to see “my home” solar gen vs the Solcast forecast

Could you link to the explanation video? I must be going blind but I can’t find it? 🤷‍♂️

Nice clear video tutorial that worked first time for me thank you.

Super helpful, thank you. I've got WB and DW shares, which aren't finished yet, but my HA is now set up and waiting for data! - Hopefully the API won't swap round the order once they're connected. Any ideas if it would if I added more shares from somewhere else? Thanks!
