Lovelace examples

This page contains a couple of frontend examples to represent the power flow of your system. While the Home Assistant Energy dashboard gives you a good indication of your energy usage, the power flow shows you what is happening at the current moment.

Sunsynk Power Flow Card

The Sunsynk Power Flow card can be installed by adding a custom Lovelace repository to HACS: https://github.com/slipx06/sunsynk-power-flow-card or clicking this button:

Open your Home Assistant instance and open slipx's repository inside the Home Assistant Community Store.
