Solar Assistant will need to be on its own Raspberry Pi. I'm not an IT guy but from everything I've read from those who have helped me...

We get it. You bought something which doesn't do what you want it to but believe it should.

Yes, the fridge advertised it had an easy access door, provided pictures of it and I was even able to try it out before buying it as...

Was such access advertised as being included with the device you bought?

I know all that. I was just providing an example of how to track when a peak value occurs and what value that peak was. It could be...

It's but an example of capturing a peak value of any sensor you like. Been running a few hours:

I just created this for fun: - trigger: - platform: state entity_id: sensor.load_power not_to: -...

No since I have no need for it. But I'd imagine a trigger based sensor would do it, something like this example for capturing maximum...

? There is no need for that. All it requires is a max power sensor which stores how much the peak was and when. You can review that...

One does not need to store 1-second data for hours, weeks, months in order to assess that. Only the peak power value and when it...

1 second data is fine for real time load control automation, that wasn't the issue. The question was why do you need 1 second data post...

Why did you buy it then? I bought mine knowing its limitations. But I also knew the addition of SA would make it far more...

Deye + Solar Assistant linked via MQTT to Home Assistant would seem to provide the local data and customisable automation control...

Not sure how it's done in Americas but here in Australia they have a separate box, the Gateway, which manages all the grid connection...

Yes they did:

I was talking about having a generator input. The Powerwall can keep the solar PV alive when operating off-grid. What it doesn't have is...

Not sure Tesla's Powerwall has that capability.

Yes, however if the batteries are exhausted because there is more household load than the PV can cover then you are SOL. The batteries...
