OK, if you just call “No a holiday today” action once, you will override the automatic holiday function in Heating Controller.

No need for the interim step.

Is it possible to use “Is working day Today” once for all controllers and overwrite not only weekends but also local holidays?

First of all, thank you so much for this brilliant app 🙏🏻  
Could you please add the possibility to add tax factor in % to the price settings please? Just for visibility.

Thanks for a great app! I am trying to calculate the real price after “Strømstøtte”. Would it be possible to add it in this app? something that calculates the average price of the month and then tells the prices after “Strømstøtte”.

Can you send me info about the prices you logged and which day, and I will add a test for that issue.

No, I’m sorry, but that is very specific for Norway.

Yes, during the night it is ECO, also for week-ends and holidays.

But not during the day, even if I state in the flow that “today is a working day”

OK, that seems to be a bug. Will be fixed in the next release.

Thank you for reporting!

Should be fixed in v. 1.12.0:

>
> Heating schedules with utility price support

Please test 🙂

Hi @balmli

Any way to get a label/variable implemented that lists how many hours each day has a Nordpool price that is higher than average for that day?

Seems to work for holidays (need to check for weekend next time). This flow below turns off the holiday setting

 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/e/0/e068b56424ade5eaf4de0c3c2fc907f68574b182.png)

see, Controller states “At work”  
 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/0/d/0ddc3634112026c4462e8773977cca7d8f5622d2.png)

What did not work was this flow which I would expect to fire once ECO kicks in. And I thought that ECO is triggered by the “At work” setting and the “Not a holiday today” condition.

I’m on v.1.12.1

HI,

thanks for a great app. Is it possible to get all of todays utility prices in a homeyscript or using the web api from this app? This app has todays prices, so it would be nice to be able to get them from homeyscript or web api

Regards,  
Markus

I will add a JSON - response in a separate action card with prices etc. so you can calculate that. Will require Adv. flow.,
