Predbat-Table-Card

Predbat Table Card is a custom Home Assistant card that displays your Predbat energy management plan in a clean, compact table format. It provides an overview of your solar, battery, and grid interactions across 30-minute intervals, including import/export rates, PV forecasts, load consumption, battery state of charge, and cost tracking. The card supports dynamic column visibility, responsive layouts for mobile, tablets and desktop, and override controls for manual demand/charge/export management. It provides an intuitive way to monitor and control your Predbat energy system directly from your dashboard.

My system doesn't have all the features Predbat supports, which means I can't test it 100%, so feel free to feed back any problems you find. Thanks.

Inpired by the original, but now abandoned, predbat-table-card.

Installation

1. Open HACS
2. Add https://https://github.com/llbbdd/Predbat-Table-Card-Next as a custom repository, using the Dashboard category
3. Search for Predbat Table Card Next in the HACS store
4. Download and refresh
5. Go to your chosen dashboard and select edit
6. Select add card button
7. Add the Predbat Table Card Next card

Card Configuration

These config items can either be set in the YAML or the Home Assistant UI config editor:

Configuration Item	Required	Value
type	YES	predbat-card-next
day_limit	YES	See Day Limit
columns	YES	See Column Options
battery_lower_limit	NO	See Battery Lower Limit
weather_entity	NO	See Weather Forecast

Example YAML config

type: custom:predbat-card-next
day_limit: 2
entity: predbat.plan_html
columns:
  - import-column
  - export-column
  - state-column
  - limit-column
  - pv-column
  - load-column
  - soc-column
  - cost-column
  - overrides-column
  - car-column
  - clip-column
  - co2kg-column
  - iboost-column
  - net-energy-column
  - xload-column
weather_entity: weather.forecast_home_2

Day Limit

Limits the number of days the plan returns. The plan will always show full days, so that daily totals are correct, but will only show a day if Predbat has import/export price data.

Column Options

Column Name	Column YAML	Description
Import	import-column	Import unit price
Export	export-column	Export unit price
State	state-column	Operation status of the system - Discharging (demand), charging, etc
Limit	limit-column	Target battery SoC that Predbat uses while charging or discharging
PV	pv-column	Predicted PV generation
Load	load-column	Predicted home load
SoC	soc-column	Predicted battery SoC percentage
Cost	cost-column	Predicted cost or gain
Car	car-column	Predicted car charging (only shows when enabled in Predbat)
iBoost	iboost-column	Predicted iBoost usage (only shows when enabled in Predbat)
CO2 kg	co2kg-column	Predicted carbon intensity in kg (only shows when enabled in Predbat)
XLoad	xload-column	Predicted load if also using Predheat (only shows when enabled in Predbat)
Clipping	clip-column	Predicted PV clipping (only shows when enabled in Predbat)
Surplus	net-energy-column	Predicted net energy (excess PV after home, car and iBoost loads are subtracted)
Weather	weather-column	Predicted weather condition
Temperature	temp-column	Predicted temperature
Chance Of Rain	rain-column	Predicted chance of rain
Overrides	overrides-column	Show icons to manage manual state overrides - See Overides

Column order can be changed by re-ordering the YAML.

Weather Forecast

Add a valid weather forecast entity using weather_entity, and add any combination of weather-column, temp-column or rain-column to the columns array. The column will be hidden until forecast data is received. For valid weather forecast entities see Home Assistant docs.

Battery Lower Limit

By default, SoC bar colours are scaled from red (0%) to green (100%). Since the battery will shut off at a level set in the inverter/battery, we can narrow the scale to work within that range to increase the definition between battery levels. For example, if the battery lower limit is 20%, the colour scale will be red (20%) to green (100%), giving a larger visual difference between any two percentages.

Override Actions

Overrides allow Predbat to be forced into a user-defined state, regardless of the plan, in any half hour slot. For example, a slot intended for charging can be forced to export instead.

The following Predbat overrides are supported:

• Force Demand
• Force/Prevent Charge
• Force/Prevent Export
• Force SoC Target

Known Issues

• Sometimes the half-hour just passed disappears, and I've no idea why. If you check the Predbat web plan, and click between Plan and History, you'll see it's missing there too.
• Weather forecast data is only supplied for the future, so information disappears as the day passes.

Requirements

Needs Predbat version > 8.29.7
