Is this project alive or should I start with something else building from scratch? ---

With Estonia time zone, I still get weekend at 00:10 on Monday morning. Any chance you could adjust this? ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/c/f/cfd409c2f6a8d906d41d45eb22df03994fbfb386.png) ---

Now it’s been quite a while since we had negative prices, but since it didn’t work when I had version 1.13.0 and there hasn’t been an update since then, the problem I mentioned has probably not been fixed yet. I hope @balmli can answer the question. ---

Hi, I am trying to use the fetch prices action, but do not understand the prcices it fetches. The heating controller device shows a price of 0.87 NOK right now. This is the correct price ![0140D913-D25D-4EC3-AA29-A507C4B70C99_4_5005_c](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/4/1/41579e294ad9f4471d6edbf096272b6faaf237a0.jpeg) However the prices fetched by the fetch prices give me a price of 1.0882375. ![Skjermbilde 2024-02-12 kl. 20.53.54](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/7/3/735681b8b7837a86ca3ef72af8d7be5e502c488c.png) What causes the difference? ---

Hi @balmli Now we have negative prices again and it doesn’t work on “Current price is 1% below today’s average”. I wrote about this earlier (July and Oct). The average price today is -1 öre and right now the electricity price is -9 öre. When there are positive electricity prices, the function works perfectly. Do you possibly have an update in the near future, where you can release a fix for this? I have the app version 1.13.0. Price area Sweden 3 and currency SEK. TIA! ---

Hi @balmli Yesterday evening my Heating Controller stopped updating prices on both my Homeys. Around 20-21pm here in Stockholm. Restarting both Homey and app to no avail… Has there been a change to the API or something? SE3 area. //Niclas ---

Hi, Niclas! I have an identical problem, still no data on current electricity price ☹ I am thinking of reprogramming all flows to [“Power by the Hour”](https://homey.app/en-us/app/com.gruijter.powerhour/) App. ---

Yes, i just migrated all calculations and flows to new sources. Everything from heating, pool, car charging etc. is relying on price data so i had to act quick. ---

Maybe developer @balmli have any thoughts on why it suddenly stopped triggering hourly price changes in SE3 yesterday night? ---

The grid was taken down the night to 15th of October. After that my Heating devices was stuck in night mode and no update on prices. Swithed to prices from Stømregning and the devices sprung to life, but no prices because Stømregning is updatet from flow. FYI Strømregning has the right prices from Tibber Adding this: The app is not reacting to any scheduled hours ---

Yes, I also immediately edited all flows to the App I already mentioned. Everything works as expected again 🙂 ---

@T-i-m The power went out so the Homey was restarted. This happened on the 11. as well. No problem with the app after that. ---

Same here. No warmwater so checked flows. Price dont trigger anymore. Sweden SE03 @balmli, Your app is much better then the alternatives out there. Is it a simple fix or should we switch app untill you get the time? That app is alive i read in december 😉 Mvh. Lennie ---

My needs seem to be covered by the Tibber app for my water heater, which heats during the four cheapest consecutive hours between 22:00 and 06:00. So, I’ve switched to that until I receive a response from the developer. ---

May i ask ju you use consecutive hours? The on and off shouldn’t be a problem for the heater if it’s a “stupid” one. The problem with consecutive is that if you have 22-24 10 öre, 00-01 is 1 kr and 01-03 is 15 öre it will start to heat 00:00 and it may be so that you only need one hour of heating to fill your waterheater.
