Solar router engines¶
An engine is designed to define how many and when energy has to be diverted.
Different kind of engine exists whach can progressively divert energy to a load and manage an ON/OFF switch. See details into engine's dedicated pages.
Engine naming
The name of engine is reflecting how energy divertion is performed:
Example : engine_1dimmer_1bypass
will manage 1 dimmer managing a progressive regulation associated with a bypass relay.
User feedback LEDs¶
The yellow LED is reflecting the network connection:
- OFF : solar router is not connected to power supply.
- ON : solar router is connected to the network.
- blink : solar router is not connected to the network and is trying to reconnect.
- fast blink : An error occurs during the reading of energy exchanged with the grid.
The green LED is reflecting the actual configuration of regulation:
- OFF : automatic regulation is deactivated.
- ON : automatic regulation is active and is not diverting energy to the load.
- blink : solar router is currently sending energy to the load.
LEDs configuraton are done in engine configuration.
Hide or show sensors¶
An optionnal hide_regulators
variable allow to change regulators sensors visibility in HA (hidden by default).
An optionnal hide_leds
variable allow to change leds values visibility in HA (hidden by default).
This configuraton is done in engine configuration.
