Flow description

Shows the current grid power flow on your AWTRIX NG display (32×8) as a pushed app. The icon animation shows the direction of the flow:

Grid power Icon Color
export (below -tolerance) grid-export green
neutral (within +/- tolerance, default 20 W) grid-neutral white
import (above +tolerance) grid-import orange

Values above 1000 W are shown in kW.

Requirements

  • Home Assistant with the MQTT integration
  • AWTRIX NG with MQTT and Home Assistant discovery enabled (the display must provide the mqtt_prefix sensor)
  • A grid power sensor in watts, positive for import and negative for export. If yours is the other way round, use a template sensor with the sign flipped.

Setup

  1. Send the three icons to your AWTRIX (see the Icons tab of this flow).
  2. Import the blueprint into Home Assistant and create an automation from it.
  3. Select your display and the grid power sensor.
  4. Set the app order once on the display. The app is named grid_power.

The app is updated on every sensor change and every 30 seconds, and disappears after 2 minutes without an update.
