Hope nobody had Solcast info entered into GE portal and used Legacy Dashboard to get round the constant API calls because it seems the smooth dashboard is going and the laggy rubbish main dashboard is going to be forced upon us all.
I have always liked the energy summary chart at the bottom but I don't use anything else on the legacy dashboard.
killythebid I find normal one quite laggy on two different machines
Never used the Legacy dash so it's not something I will miss.
Is there any YAML code out there to reproduce the current GivEnergy dashboard into Home Assistant.
I have tried Grafana but did not get far
SteveCook
Not quite identical, but this is where I am with mine. Happy to share yaml if you want it? Uses apex charts.
It will be a significant loss. The new dashboard and My Inverter pages do not allow many of the same parameters to be shown on a single graph.
Instead of trashing the old graph, why can't GIV migrate them to the "my Inverter" pages?
Its a backward step,why is it being phased out?
I guess I could resurrect the local dashboard (via API) if there's much of a call for it.
It's long dead now since the GivTCP changes but the original thread is still here and can probably be made to work no bother with just an API key these days as opposed to the old way which needed powershell running in the background.
I like the What New page (last updated in 2022) 😡🙁🤬
What's New
28/09/2022 - Smart Stuff
Happy Wednesday, everyone!
This week we're excited to finally announce the release of our Smart Plugs! These 16A plugs can be controlled via the GivEnergy app (for now, portal control is coming soon!) which can also be used to monitor plug power, energy, and cost (assuming you've set up your smart tariff information). The plugs will be available to buy from the 30th September - get in touch with our wholesaler Segen or give our support team a call to find out more.
A few months ago we spoke about releasing the GivEnergy Alexa skill, which can be used to monitor your system's power and energy. Unfortunately at the time we ran into some unforseen snags with Amazon's approval process which meant we had to delay the skill until we had everything figured out. During that time we planned on releasing our Smart Plugs which we wanted to integrate into the Alexa skill which delayed the release even more. Well, it's finally time to announce that the skill has been approved and is available to download now from the Alexa Skills store! Simply search 'GivEnergy' on the Alexa app or ask Alexa to enable the GivEnergy skill. Alexa will prompt you to link your GivEnergy account which you can do via the Alexa app.
20/09/2021 - Hello World!
Hi everyone! This is the first of a (hopefully) weekly blog brought to you by the developer team here at GivEnergy. We'll be using this space to keep you updated on anything new that we add, fix or change that may impact how you use the new portal.
PianSom
Yes please. I would love your YAML and and some help of what to do with it - no pun intended
SteveCook
First, make sure you have Apex Charts installed. https://github.com/RomRider/apexcharts-card if not. (It also depends, of course, on GivTCP being installed.)
Then, in HA, edit a dashboard of your choice (pencil icon top right of Overview, for example), then hit the blue "+Add Card" bottom right. Scroll down to the "Custom: ApexCharts Card" item and click it. Take the code from below and edit it to have your serial number in instead of XXXXXXX (5 times). In the custom card, replace the code on the left side with your code just edited. Hit "Save" (bottom) and then "Done" (top).
Play with the various parameters in the code until you are happy/bored.
Enjoy!

If like me you have your GivTCP sensors configured to kW rather than W, change the yaxis code at the bottom to the following. If need be, change min and max to your inverter output, mine is 5kW, an AIO is 7.5, etc
yaxis:
- id: power
align_to: 0.5
min: ~-5
max: ~5
apex_config:
tickAmount: 6
- id: soc
min: 0
max: 100
opposite: true
apex_config:
tickAmount: 4

Nice tips.
Just for those that don't know - the "~" in front of the min/max fields means "use this value for setting the axis value but if the actual data value being shown is smaller/bigger then use that (rounded) instead".
What this means in practise for me is - most of the time I have a +/- 7.5kW left y-axis graph. But occasionally (eg when I have a Power-up) I could be importing say 10kW and in that case it would use 7.5kW to -10kW left y-axis.

Thanks for sharing. Grandparent duties tomorrow, so give me a few days and i will do it.

Can GivTCP still not show the battery voltage on AIO's?
killythebid I like the energy summary at the bottom too. Lets me see all my data in one place. I would be interested to know if anyone can tell me how else I can do this (easily!), thanks.
