inverter power limitation: no feedback for device's Power Limit slider + relative / absolute limit

[GrKoR]

applicable to component v.0.2.15

Brokly & Alexander Mamonov in telegram:

Привет всем, есть идеи, почему может не включаться лимит по питанию?
В чем выражается не установка лимита ?
не сохраняется ползунок. ошибка в логе выше
а похоже, просто ползунок не обновляет свое состояние
dr_corner , похоже у тебя в примере конфига на гитхабе есть косяк. Нет обратной связи с ползунком установки мощности.
но и кондей забивает на лимит
Нет , по логу не забивает.
Ставит столько, на сколько установлен ползунок
да, лимит ставится, но кондей уходит за лимит
Нет, просто для кондея 100% соответствует установленному лимиту. Это разные проценты. Скажем ставишь 71 процент, кондей показывает, что работает на 40, это значит он работает на 0.71*0.4=0.28, то есть на 28 процентов
Кстати это тоже можно обслужить в конфиге.
Если хочется видеть не относительные показания процентов, а абсолютные.

Correct config here
Brokly implements update in the on_value action of inverter_power_limit_value sensor. It works but multiplies number of connections between parts of code. The better way will be to request the power limit sensor value periodically from the slider's code itself.

Can you post the correct config here on github?

Thanks.

Hi, @Steamerzone !

Here is the contents of the config file from telegram you were asking for. Note, that it is common part of the advanced example.
