Power Flow Always Shows Off-Grid - Solar Only #478
Comments
Hi @lsgc123 , thanks for opening this! It looks like the animation thinks that your grid is offline, but clearly it is not. I would love to fix this.

Hi @jasonacox , Thank you for the reply. I confirmed the version I installed was 4.3.2 Applied the change for the PyPowerWall and confirmed the PowerWall icon was gone but still same istuation for Grid. Below is the information from my local server: sitemaster: powerwalls: grid_status(suspicious grid_services_active: false): SOE: auth supported: problems: version: |
Ok, thanks @lsgc123 -
Yes, this is a problem. I'll dig in to why. This would cause the animation to think it is in island mode (grid down). Which dashboard.json file are you using? The note below the powerwall "Firmware" should say "Solar Only". You might try dashboard-solor-only.json if you haven't already. It won't fix the grid-down issue but might remove the N/A "Firmware" note. |
I might have found it. When the system polls the Telsa cloud for status, if the grid_status is not "Active" it assumes you are in island mode. I created a beta proxy if you are willing to test it out for me. It has the new logic in it and also adds more debug information. Here is what you will need to do: Edit the
Save that and then run this:
If nothing changes, I need you to turn on debug. Edit the
Load in the new settings:

Hi @jasonacox I am pretty sure I am using the dashboard, dashboard-solar-only.json. Unfortunately, neither worked at this moment, so I have turned on the Debug mode. Should I send the logs to you or you can see the logs on your side? |
As for the logs, go to http://localhost:8675/api/system_status/grid_status and then capture the section of the logs that should look something like this:
or this
On the dashboard, we updated that dashboard so you may want to install the newer one. Thanks for your help with this. |
Here we go

Thanks!
Well, there it is. :) Okay, easy fix. I just pushed a new version. Edit the
Then...
If that fixes it, you can edit |
Oh, I'm so glad you noticed that! I took another look and sure enough, there is another place where grid_status is getting set and would ignore the Solar Only "Unknown" response. I've updated it and you can try using this:
Thanks for your help with this! I'll get this included in the next release for our other solar-only members. Thank you! 🙏 |
First of all, I do appreciate @jasonacox to provide us this awesome tool!
I am using Solar-Only dashboard and it works well except the Power Flow animation and Energy Usage chart.
For the above Power Flow animation, my solar system generates 0.7 kW and my home uses 0.5 kW. That is, I am sending around 0.2 kW to the Grid. However, this animation indicates the Grid is off and no interaction between Solar and Grid. (Nothing between Home and Grid when consumption is bigger than production, either). Also, Grid Status is RED all the time on the Grid Status.
When I checked the Key power data(http://localhost:8675/csv), it says '-137.65,522.35,660.00,0.00,5.00' which I sent 137.65 kW to Grid.
Is there any way to fix this? In fact, it is just a minor issue and does not affect to the main purpose of this tool, but I am just wondering if I could fix this on my side.
I can still see the correct data from the Current State as below(The data is different because I took this screenshot later):
Please advise.
Thank you.
