Does this work instead (last 4 lines):

action:
  - service: shell_command.pvoutputcurl
    data: {}
mode: single

String does match the pattern

superb patience shown by @reef to got my automation from HA into Pvoutput. Very much appreciated

i can now shutdown yet another sensor and less cables in my office. as the efergy system is playing up real bad today.

Question to the home assistant massive…..

I have found out that the fox solar generation sensor within HA is a calculation based on pv power, due to the fact that fox OpenApi doesnt allow the actual solar generation sensor to be used, same as the export sensor.

Which has got me thinking, can a create two new sensors based of those onse and increase it by around the 12% that its under calculating or am i just speaking/thinking nonensense??

Templates are your friend here. Using the temperature sensor in my airing cupboard as an example:

{{ (states('sensor.airing_cupboard_temperature_sensor_temperature')| float(0) * 1.12 | float(0)) | round(2) }}

It'll take the current temperature, multiple it by 1.12 (so that's your extra 12%) and round it to 2 decimal places.

do i put this code in config.yaml in the editor software??

There's a few ways you can use them, have a read of this.

I've got a few defined in configuration.yaml:

template:
  - sensor:
      - name: "Internet Download"
        state: "{{ (states('sensor.uxg_wan_in_stats')|float(0)*8/1024/1024)|round(2) }}"
        unit_of_measurement: "Mbps"
      - name: "Internet Upload"
        state: "{{ (states('sensor.uxg_wan_out_stats')|float(0)*8/1024/1024)|round(2) }}"
        unit_of_measurement: "Mbps"

I can then call those sensors elsewhere. Such as:

type: gauge
entity: sensor.internet_download
name: " Download"
min: 0
max: 900
needle: true
severity:
  green: 0
  yellow: 750
  red: 850

Which gives this:

If you're a Facebook user then then the 'Home Assistant UK Community' group is very useful. There's people there that know HA extremely well and are keen to help out.

thats brilliant @the-evaluator i will take a look at these and try and get better data going forward, as i'm not happy with cloud data from Fox being so out of whack
