Permanent fake power production through the night

[zimbosmurf]

I have integrated my EcoFlow powerstream into my home assistant using the EcoFlow Cloud. for the energy dashboard I am using "Inverter Output Watts" as the power input and created an integrator "balkonkraftwerk_energie_kWh" to get accumulated energy:

For the "Power Sources" graph in my first default energy dashboard, only the "Inverter Output Watts" is used. And the graph shows me a constant solar production of 110W after ~6PM for the whole night that can't be because there is no sun on the panels at these times.

Has anybody encountered this? I assume it has to do with the fact that the inverter circuitry is only powered by solar energy and not by grid power, so when the sun is away, the inverter goes offline and is not reachable any more with the app. How could I correct this behaviour?

Found a better graph for this problem. Obviously the last data point from the inverter comes in at 6:38PM, the first one in the morning is at 8:44AM. In the meantime, HA assumes the last value as still valid.

is a known issue, see #770

Thanks for the hint. Apparently, if I am contempt with power and energy, using a shelly-socket for measurement is currently the better solution.
