## What it is
Power Flow Card Plus is a highly customizable Home Assistant Lovelace card that visualizes live (instantaneous) power flow between grid, solar, battery, home, and individual devices with an animated flow diagram. It is distributed via HACS and serves as an enhanced drop-in replacement for Home Assistant's built-in Energy Distribution card.

## Use cases
- visualize live power flow between solar, grid, battery, and home on a Home Assistant dashboard
- replace the default Home Assistant energy distribution card with a more customizable one
- show individual device power consumption with custom icons and colors
- display grid power outages and bidirectional battery/grid flows
- build a home energy monitoring dashboard with animated flow diagrams

## When to choose
- you use Home Assistant and want a rich, animated visualization of instantaneous power distribution
- you need deep customization of colors, icons, labels, templates, and individual entities
- you want a UI editor plus YAML configuration and multi-language support
- you want a HACS default-repository card that is actively maintained

## When to avoid
- you need accumulated energy values over time (kWh) rather than instantaneous power - use Energy Flow Card Plus instead
- you don't use Home Assistant or Lovelace dashboards
- you need a standalone energy monitoring solution rather than a dashboard card
