Any custom code I add is usually just copying from someone else who has already done it. I'm guessing there will be guides on how to add it as it's a popular make.

I have the custom code written by another poster, i also now have studio code installed in Ha… i just need to now know where to put the code and the automation within the studio code.
Hope that reads right.
If someone could post up some screen shots of where i put the coding, that would be great.

You want to put it in here:
You'll need to amend the sensor names (i.e sensor.real_load) to match your own sensor names. v1 is the daily pv total, v2 is the current pv power, v3 is the daily load, v4 is the current load, v6 is the grid voltage.

I believe it is automatically generated (but could be wrong). On mine each automation has a unique ID in automations.yaml. I guess as long as each one is unique it doesn't really matter what it is.

Have you restarted home assistant? Go to Settings > System > Restart (button in top right corner)
If it has worked, when you go into Settings > Automations and Scenes, the automation should be listed there and it will tell you when it was last triggered.

Automation Upload to PVOutput failed to set up
Error ⸱ Reported by Automation
The automation "Upload to PVOutput" (automation.upload_to_pvoutput) is not active because the configuration has errors.
Error:expected dictionary @ data['actions'][0]. Got 'data {} action:shell_command.pvoutputcurl'.
To fix this error, edit the automation to correct it, then save and reload the automation configuration.

Can you post a screenshot of the automation code?

You need a space between action: and shell_command.pvoutputcurl on line 9.

Does this work instead (last 4 lines):
Code:
action:
- service: shell_command.pvoutputcurl
data: {}
mode: single
