Replace sensor.sigen_inverter_pv_power with data from helper sensor

Hi! First of all, great integration — thanks for your work!
I’ve got it up and running and have started experimenting with some automations.

Since the PV Power values (strings 1, 2, and 3) always show 0 on my setup — because I don’t have any panels directly connected to the Sigen inverter, and I also don’t have power meters installed on my third-party inverters — I was wondering:

Would it be possible to overwrite or inject these values into the Sigen system using data retrieved via Home Assistant (from the SolarEdge and APsystems integrations)?

Hi,
What would your intention with that be? PV power is only ised for consumption and you can create a custom tenplate in HA.

I'm not sure if the sensor I mentioned is the correct one.
The thing is, I have an SDM630-Modbus V2 power sensor connected to the Sigen system, but for some reason, the energy going into the battery (which clearly comes from solar) isn't being registered as solar energy.
It flows directly into the battery, so grid import remains at 0 — which is great — but because it's not recognized as solar power, the AI function doesn't detect it and therefore doesn't work as intended.
I do have integrations for both SolarEdge and APsystems, so in Home Assistant I can accurately track the total generated solar power.
If I could somehow use that data to "trick" the system into thinking it's coming from the Sigen itself, it might also display correctly in the app and the AI function would probably work.

Sorry, can't do that with those ontegration.
