SolarEdge Solar Meters no reflecting same values as SolarEdge App

[rhkzd6yb7v-ui]

Description

I have a SolarEdge Hybrid Inverter with LG Battery connected and also SolarEdge Inverter. At times, particularly when the Battery is being charged, the Solar Edge Inverter is reporting negative power, and house consumption is 0kw. Have I got my setup configured incorrectly or is it a bug with SolarEdge templates?

Steps to Reproduce

No error

you configured pv meter twice. one as hybrid and one as inverter. Both with same ip. bug or feature?

[rhkzd6yb7v-ui]

Not sure. SE Hybrid inverter has Ethernet, SE Inverter communicates via RS485 to the Hybrid. I cannot directly communicate with the SE Inverter. However, when using the same IP address, both inverters are showing different power values. When both values are positive, they generally show the same as the SolarEdge app.
Does anyone else have a similar SolarEdge setup?

[mfuchs1984]

So you have cascaded inverters, on hybrid and behind a non-hybrid? Then you either have to use id:2 or whatever modbus id the second on has (try), or connect the second one to the Ethernet as well.
