Shows the current solar production on your AWTRIX NG display (32×8) as a pushed app. Icon and text color follow the production:

green |
| above low threshold (default 100 W) | solar-roof-mid |
yellow |

gray |
Values above 1000 W are shown in kW. Optionally the app is removed at 0 W or during a night window.
Requirements
- Home Assistant with the MQTT integration
- AWTRIX NG with MQTT and Home Assistant discovery enabled (the display must provide the
mqtt_prefixsensor) - A sensor with the current solar production in watts
Setup
- Send the four icons to your AWTRIX (see the Icons tab of this flow).
- Import the blueprint into Home Assistant and create an automation from it.
- Select your display and the production sensor. Adjust the thresholds if needed.
- Set the app order once on the display. The app is named
solar_power.
The app is updated on every sensor change and every 5 minutes, and disappears after 6 minutes without an update.
