How to add additional sensor

[morpheus12]

Hi all there,

I very enjoy the Integration. Its working great! But i guess that i‘m missing some Sensors in my configuration. Perhaps i‘m blind

1. Counter of initiated Starts compressor:
   Ive Seen on the Screenshot that the Counter was present. But i cant find it. Perhaps its necessary to add manual but how?
2. Input for Solar heating
   My Heatpump (Alpha Innotec) is equipped With an additional module connected to my solar System. If battery of the House is Full loaded the heatpump shall warm up the Boiler by using the heating-sword because we have to much Energy by the Solar System. In this case the Display of the heatpump is showing an Information Like „external heating“. What Kind of sensor could that be?
3. Status of heating-sword
   I know in cold days the heating sword shall assist the heating pump. I saw an entity called „additional Heat generator“ but this sensor is in Status Off everytime. Therefore i guess this is Not the correct one. I got one which could be the one: compressor_heater
   Is that the heating-sword or a real heater in the Outside compressor module? This heater was Started today Midday while Temperature was higher than 9 C and the battery was full. So i guess there was no reason to use a real heater due to Environment circumstances.

Thx for feedback

Update: Nr1 i found in the inactive Entities. Ist called compressor1_impulses

I guess i found something regarding solar Nr.2

It is the Status Entity which is refering to the luxtronik_key 0080 calculations.ID_WEB_WP_BZ_akt

Here all Status of the heatpump should be present:

• heating
• hot water
• swimming pool / solar
• evu
• defrost
• no request
• heating external source
• cooling

So Nr3 would be the one

If my heatpump is in Solarmode the Display Shows me „Photovoltaik“ not swimming Pool/ solar

Same With Status no request the Display Shows me „Leerlauf (keine Anforderung)“
But the entity in Home Assitant is in Status no request (Developertools -> States) but if i have a Look in the history or use the Entity in a Dashboard „Leerlauf (keine Anforderung)“ will be shown not „no request“.

If i Look now in the history (because Heating Pump was in State Photovoltaik) i saw the State hot water (Displayed as Brauchwasser)

Could it be that the Integration got a Problem With the State swimming Pool/ solar?

Thx for feedback
