Hallo,

The configuration.yaml only integrates the main counter (as the reference/delivery counter). How do I add the second Poweropti, which sits on the PV production counter, to the configuration.yaml?

Thanks

I dont use Poweropti for the PV prod, because I use a solarlog sensor, integrated (solarlog integration) with HomeAssistant, for this.
It might be also an option to use a meter sensor as I mentioned in this blog post.
https://www.it-und-hausautomation-blog.de/energie-dashboard/
But if you want to use a second poweropti then you have to use a different URL of the API - pls check the API docu of Powerfox.
The yaml syntax is similar to this example.

Powerfox Integration in Home Assistant (HA) --- HASS

1. put your powerfox (poweropti) credentials in /config/secrets.yaml - like this

ovag-user: your-e-mail ovag-pw: your-pw

2. copy & paste this code in your configuration.yaml of Home Assistant, adjust the statements for username, pw ...

DE: Eure Zugangsdaten zu Powerfox packt ihr am besten in die /config/secrets.yaml Falls iher andere Key-Wörter benutzt müsst ihr das in der configuration.yaml entsprechend anpassen weitere Infos hier: https://www.it-und-hausautomation-blog.de/energie-dashboard/

Hi, thank you so far. Is this still working after the last update? As i remember they changed something for Azure Cloud...
Do i need to add more Information if i have more than 1 Device? (I have a Poweropti and one more for my Water-Clock)
I added the Script and secrets and don't get any values back.

Yes, it still works fine on my HA. Yes you need more (different) configuration in case of more than 1 device.
You should have a look at the powerfox api docu in order to configure the configuration.yaml

docu in german: https://www.powerfox.energy/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/powerfox-Kunden-API.pdf

like:
First: Open a browser and send https://backend.powerfox.energy/api/2.0/my/all/devices
You will ask for your credentials....

you will get back a information like:
[{"DeviceId":"XXXXX","AccountAssociatedSince":YYYYY,"MainDevice":true,"Prosumer":true,"Division":0}]
... in the case of one device. In the case of more devices you should get a list of devices
BTW Division 0 means Power, 1 means water

Example for your power meter: You have to use the following URL
https://backend.powerfox.energy/api/2.0/my/XXXX/current?unit=kwh

• replace the XXXX with your device id, which you got with the first call

This should work for the power meter.
You have to add a similar config for your water meter.

For the water meter you should try:
https://backend.powerfox.energy/api/2.0/my/XXXX/current

If you send me the feedback on this request I could try to write the config code.
But first you should try to get the power meter up and running with HA ;-)

I have added the "unique_id:" Based on this configuration, you can change some settings of this sensor in the GUI/dashboard.

Nice: chatGPT found the missing " after unique_id: "strom_bezug_kwh for me

;-)

Hello, unfotunately it does not work for me. What do i need to fill in besides my account details? How do i get the unique ID for the sensors?
Leider funktioniert das bei mir nicht. Die Powerfox app läuft normal. Jemand ne Idee?
