Power Flow - CT ignored?

New Inverter setup - 8kw unit Grid tied with solar, no battery. Its an AU install, CT is "P-External-CT-L1" The "power flow" diagram is only showing what the inverter is getting from the solar panels & putting to the grid connection. Its completely ignoring the reading of the CT Coil & not including any consumption of the house - which is connected to the Grid connection. You can see the solar power of 2988W & its putting most of that to the Grid.

If you look at the CT reading, its -2105 - so i'm outputting 2.1kw to the grid & consuming ~800W in the house. It all makes sense - but how do I change the power flow diagram to show this? How do I get the house to show 900W & the grid the 2.1kw?

OK so the fix (for daytime when there's PV!). The CT Clamp had to be reversed - its now installed incorrectly as per the documentation. This could be due to the fact we're in Australia & our toilet water goes backwards too. Also the work mode HAD to be set to "Limited to Home" - selling first & zero export + limit to load only was ignoring the CT values & just showing all PV was being exported & didnt factor the CT readings in at all. Now lets see how it does in the evening/night....
