Tibber
The tibber
integration provides a sensor with the current electricity price if you are a Tibber customer.
If you have a Tibber Pulse or Watty it will also show the electricity consumption in real-time. You get a sensor for monthly consumption, monthly cost, and monthly peak hour. If you do have a real-time meter it is updated once every hour, otherwise it is updated once per day. Statistics with hourly consumption and cost data is generated that can be used in the Energy Dashboard (the ids are tibber:energy_consumption_HOMEID
and tibber:energy_totalcost_HOMEID
). If you produce energy there are also statistics with hourly production and profit data generated which can also be used there (the ids are tibber:energy_production_HOMEID
and tibber:energy_profit_HOMEID
).
There is currently support for the following device types within Home Assistant:

Examples
In this section, you will find some real-life examples of how to use this sensor.
Electricity price
The electricity price can be used to make automations. The sensor has a max_price
and min_price
attribute, with max and min price for the current day. Here is an example to get a notification when the price is above 90% of the maximum price for the day:
- alias: "Electricity price"
trigger:
platform: time_pattern
# Matches every hour at 1 minutes past whole
minutes: 1
condition:
condition: template
value_template: '{{ float(states('sensor.electricity_price_hamretunet_10')) > 0.9 * float(state_attr('sensor.electricity_price_hamretunet_10', 'max_price')) }}'
action:
- service: notify.pushbullet
data:
title: "Electricity price"
target: "device/daniel_telefon_cat"
message: "The electricity price is now {{ states('sensor.electricity_price_hamretunet_10') }}"
