  name: Open DTU - Zero Export
  description: "\n ## Open-DTU Zero Export\n\n\n ### !WARNING!\n\n I barely have any idea of what im actually doing here. Please monitor your system's behavior closely when using this automation! Solar-Systems or any other energy/power-related systems can be dangerous and even life-threatening. I hold no responsibility for any incidents that may be caused by this autmation. Please inspect the code carefully before use. I have tested this code only in a simulated environment with simulated input-delay and cannot guarantee for it to work as expected in a live environment.\n\n\n ### Description \n\n This automation enables you to achieve zero export with your Open DTU inverter. \n\n It uses a simplified version of hysterisis. This means, that it will try to keep your inverter's export in between two values which can be customized below. The automation tries to achieve this by attempting to set the inverter's output-limit in the middle of these values and reacting once they are reached. \n\n The automation can be tweaked to be less aggressive by setting the min- and max values further apart or to be more aggressive by setting them closer together. \n\n The automation can aslo be set to always keep the limiter below a certain wattage by adjusting the 'Open-DTU Max Output' accordingly."

  input:
    sensor_grid_export:
      name: Grid-Export Sensor Entity
      description: Select a sensor displaying your total current grid-export wattage. (for example a Shelly 3EM). The selected entity MUST display a positive value for the automation to work properly.
      selector:
        entity:
    sensor_dtu_output:
      name: Open-DTU Output Entity
      description: Select the output-entity provided by Open-DTU displaying the current output wattage.
      selector:
        entity:
    number_dtu_limit:
      name: Open-DTU Limit Entity (Non Persistent, Absolute)
      description: Select the limit-entity provided by Open-DTU. This entity is expected to be a "Input-Number" type. It's max value should reflect the inverter's max output.
      selector:
        entity:
    input_dtu_max:
      name: Open-DTU Max Output (Enter manually)
      description: Enter your inverter's max output wattage (For example, 1600 for Hoymiles HMS-1600 inverters). This should be identical with the DTU-Limiter's max value.

    input_user_min:
      name: Zero-Range-Minimum
      description: Enter the lower cap of the power-export-range which the automation will attempt to keep. In this case "lower" means the smallest export-value (for example 50w export). The minimum is 0. 
      selector:
        number:

    input_user_max:
      name: Zero-Range-Maximum
      description: Enter the upper cap of the power-export-range which the automation will attempt to keep. It is suggested to keep a 100 W range between the min & max values. However, the blueprint does not enforce this.
      selector:
