Flow Details
This Home Assistant Automation blueprint adds the current solar energy production information to your Awtrix Light.
The data can be taken from any power sensor that provides this information (e.g. Shelly). You can configure it to not show the information during night or when there is 0 power produced.
Don't forget to install/upload the 3 icons attached to your Awtrix Light to get the full experience.
