Dom has been moved over to the new version of the HEMS we will be using in next project. You are probably the next person on list for switching over Peter im just sorting out a few things with it so that its on a par with the existing HEMS. Once you are moved over you can just install this integration through the user interface. We will also be providing solar forecasts from a separate service in a different part of the management system which will be available in HA.
Hi Ben, add me to that list - my tesla(car) integration stopped working, but I know it is fixed in the current version of HA, so just need the core update so I can start using it again. Any progress on those power monitors?
Yeah sorry its taking so long. Everything is on a go slow here atm because our office is being renovated and all our stuff is in the storage room which means it takes even longer to do anything. I have all parts now. Hoping to get back in this week and return to something like normal.
Am using the Hive integration to get boiler info into HEMS/RESCoop, but can’t figure out how to get this info into Influx for longer term monitoring. Does anyone know how I can do this?
How did you get the Hive integration working? do you have another instance of Home assistant, or do you have it working on the HEMS?
A while ago I was trying to use a beta Hive integration, which wasn’t compatible with the latest version of HA. But now there is a standard HA integration that works on my setup. See Hive - Home Assistant. Just needed to enter my Hive account username/password and it started reporting.
A month or more ago the Home Assistant Hive integration (which I was using on HEMS) stopped working. I tried reinstalling it but HA couldn’t seem to log in to the account using my gmail address. Around the same time I’d started getting warnings from gmail that they were introducing 2FA. I tried following some instructions to allow apps to log on but couldn’t get that to work either. Came back to it today and changed my email address with Hive (needed a phone call…) to a non gmail one and hey presto I now have Hive data going into HEMS.
It is annoying that other changes stop things like this working, but we will persivere!
Hi all,
Really pleased to see Home Assistant being used by so many here. Have been using for a few years now and think it’s a great solution.
I’ve now got mine set up with full energy monitoring, controlling my Hybrid solar inverter, and deciding how much/when to charge the batteries, plus controlling my MVHR system a few appliances and lights, and security cameras. Can share more if anyone is interested.
Sadly, the Hive integration has stopped working again:(
Reinstalled the integration.
Restarted the HEMS.
Still no joy.
error logs indicate it’s a problem trying to REFRESH_TOKEN, invalid type for AuthParameters.
Looks like the Hive interface has changed again. Grrr.
Is anyone else using Hive integration with HEMS having problems?
I’m very interested in MVHR monitoring or control. Using (but really undersign) Homeassistant presently. Hoping to make it to the session, or if all else fails watch the recording.
Hi everyone,
Just wanted to revive this thread and share my setup. The main things I’ve integrated (with some help!) are:
Solar Edge Inverter
Sonnen Eco 9.43 Battery
Philips Hue lights
Temperature sensors
I’ve rearranged the dashboard to make the layout work for me, here’s a list of what works and what I’d like to improve:
Works well:
Hue integration, temperature sensors,
What I’d like to improve:
Solar Edge currently works via the SE API/Servers, I’ve discovered there is a way to do this locally using MQTT but not sat down and got my head into this yet.
Sonnen integration works well in ‘read’ mode, i.e. I can see all the data from the battery. I’d also like to add a switch to my dashboard to change the batteries mode (i.e. from solar storage, to off-peak charge, to manual charge/discharge).
Anyway, here’s my setup!!

Nice temperature and humidity graphs! How did you get those on the dashboard? Is it compatible with HEMS?
I’m also trying without success to add graph of external temperature
Oh, like Energy Distribution on the dashboard. I’d not thought of doing that, I’m just using the Energy dashboard. How did you get that on your dashboard?
Hi Sian,
Yes these are all running off the CC HEMS, you need to add the sensors to the device and then you should be able to create a graph using the data from the sensors feed.
Agreed, external temperature would be useful, don’t know if I need to find a specific sensor that is capable of that!
Thanks Robin, see below for what’s in the card configuration, it’s a mini version of the energy distribution dashboard.
Like I mentioned above, it’s not 100% accurate as it relies on some data from servers at 5-min intervals and some local data broadcast by MQTT. I’m hoping to get my solar on MQTT soon.
I had a friend set this card up for me so not entirely sure how it’s taken out of the energy dashboard, but see below for a screenshot in case this helps.
Cheers!
Thanks, I didn’t know these were available! I’ve now managed to put mean temperatures on one card and mean humidities on another, and you can get the actual time/data values without leave the home page. What I’ve been trying to calculate is mean daily temperatures for each sensor, and so I was quite excited to see that I can display mean daily temperatures as a bar chart (even if I can’t read the values off the bar chart)!
Is this functionality courtesy of HA or should I thank CC?

I believe this is standard HA functionality. Glad you’ve got it working for you
