One feature request. Could it be possible to add tags of all of the current days spot prices? I mean that one could have “Price0h”, “Price1h”, “Price2h” … “Price23h” My usecase: I would like to find out that what are the spot prices for example between 10.00-17.00. I would check that if the prices during the these hours are all so high that it is more profitable to send the solar panel energy to the grid, I would heat up the water and house during the low price hours, and not with the solar energy produced. And other way around. Would it be possible? ---

> [@Robert\_Schmidt](#): > > Ok, I see your point. Let’s meet halfway, and say that I’ll need 4 triggers - comfort and Eco enabled AND disabled. No reason to complain, I guess😋 Well, it’s either ECO or Comfort… So when ECO triggers, it’s not Comfort, and vice versa. Also the “price changed” trigger has a “Heating” - tag. True = Comfort, False = ECO. ---

Cool app! Especially love the price ratio! Very useful! I’m curious, prices are announced at ~13 / 1 PM every day, would it be possible to have another ratio where you do the same but with prices from 13 and until midnight next day (or at least somehow make a ratio where tomorrow’s prices is included)? ---

Yeah, I guess it is possible. But, do you think a lot of user want this ? ---

Got a issue with my flow not always running 3 times between a time period… Sometimes it does 2 sometime it does 4… Mostly it’s right with 3 but not always… Is the issue it’s cause the time period is over 00:00? And how can this be adjusted/fixed? ![FB_IMG_1666538938408](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/f/7/f7e4c16f90dc68209d84714fbf1d43490d1cf317.jpeg) ![FB_IMG_1666539109145](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/6/6/666b7041119ac11ed1d63f06f1ef5a2dded8e272.jpeg) ---

Very useful app! During the transition from daylight saving time on October 30 (03:00) the flow card “Current price is higher than prices next NN hours” seems to have failed. Not sure exactly what failed in the flow card, but it occurred between 02:00 and 03:00. Maybe a after the clock was moved back(?). ---

Hi. Thanks for a great app! I’m having an issue with the “Current price is among / is not among the X hours of lowest between START and END” condition. I have a variable for X that sometimes is 0, but I still get a TRUE result from the condition when it is the cheapest hour between START and END. I would expect this to always return false if X=0. Am I using this in the wrong way or is this a bug? ---

Hi, I’ve installed the app on my Homey Pro, and I find it under my apps. When I create a new flow I however cannot find it under “When” (along with the other apps I have). It’s not in the list. I tried removing the app and reinstalling it without any change of result. I just sent you a diagnostic report if that helps (ends with b1b3de6e7aaf) Best regards, Tobias. ---

Great app Bjørnar! Is it possible to add funconality: 1. Using tags (dynamic) to set the start and end, in the “Current price is among low hours between start hour and end hour”. 2. Add “Current price is among the X lowest hours in the next X horus”. Current price is among the 2 lowest hours in the next 9 hours. 3. Add “Current price is among the X lowest hours before X” Current price is among the 3 lowest hours before 06:00. ---

Thanks! I’m busy upgrading some of my apps to SDK3, so they are ready for the Homey Pro early 2023 coming soon… But then I will have a look at this.
