@Sarel can you share your method for inputing battery charge/discharge into HA. I’m struggling with this…
Under setting then dashboards, the energy dashboard looks like so:
And the battery looks like this:

This helped to confirm the following: Battery sensors for charge and discharge · Issue #89 · sfstar/hass-victron · GitHub bug in the hass-victron integration. Zero values in these 2 sensors.
Thanks alot!
It’s like you’re just ignoring me 
Do you know if it is possible to import into HomeAssistant? I’ve never tried to pull in data from VRM to HomeAssistant, just worked with ModBus to the Venus thus far.
I don’t use Home Assistant, but looking at the Venus OS Large image: Signal K and Node-RED [Victron Energy] they point to the API docs and specifically the VRM API documentation (victronenergy.com) stats call which includes the irradiation forecast.
TLDR:
It sounds like a simple API call that can be integrated into Home Assistant.
On a side note, not sure if you’ve seen the blog post (Introducing Solar Production Forecast - Victron Energy) which explains the forecast a bit better.

Using MQTT Explorer I see these 2 values are null so I have found the issue… I think.
N/XXXX/battery/512/History/ChargedEnergy
N/XXXX/battery/512/History/DischargedEnergy
If they are null then the integration also displays null in the HA Energy Dashboard.
@plonkster Is this an issue I should raise on the modifications forum for Victron? I don’t know what the exact issue is or how to frame it?
Battery with DeviceInstance 512, which means it is a CAN-bms battery. Not all those batteries support energy counters. In fact few do. I assume yours doesn’t.
There is code in vrmlogger that calculates it from the other values (Multi, SolarCharger, etc). But that is not available on dbus/mqtt. You will have to do it yourself.
Or fit a SmartShunt/BMV to get these values. Or plead with battery maker to add them. CAN bus message 0x378.
