Total consumed energy

[otto2704]

Hi and thanks for this cool integration.
Coming from fhem I had the modbus requests there so far and transferred the values to HA using mqtt.
With april I switched to this integration.
What I do not understand is the value "Total consumed energy".
I can see in the definition:
states('sensor.total_pv_generation')|float - states('sensor.total_exported_energy')|float + states('sensor.total_imported_energy')|float - states('sensor.total_battery_charge')|float + states('sensor.total_battery_discharge')|float
what makes sense to me.
But now I am having the following values in the PV dashboard:

while the HA energy dashboard shows:

and this is my battery on the PV dashboard:

So I do not really understand how the value of "Total consumed energy" is calculated?
Especially as the chart for the whole time since I switched to this integration starts witch a value of more than 15.000 kWh?

Maybe anyone knows the reason?
Best regards and thanks in advance,
Otto

The total consumed energy is calculated based of the Total sensors. You were looking at the Daily imported, exported, ... sensors. The reason the sensor started at more than 15k is the state the Total sensors were in when you started using this integration. The total sensors are never reset. They just count up from the day the inverter gets powered on and used.

ah ok, thanks a lot! so I know, I can just remove it from my dashboard, cause it is not really interesting for me :-)
