This topic is about the Piggy Bank app. The main purpose of this app is to make sure the power usage for every hour is within the targeted power tariff in Norway (now also Belgium - if someone can confirm I did it right). New features are being added continuously. It is being developed at GitHub …

Hi! First, thanks for a great app — it reduced the need for flows a lot when I discovered it! Lately I’ve noticed it has been struggling with the limiting of the power function. For reasons I don’t understand, it regularly reduces the “Available Power” to 0 even though the predicted usage is well b…

I observed that the latest test version v 7.0.3 of PBTH app works much better. Had to use exchange rate and the “Extra time of day markup” feature for the grid price to get accurate total electricity prices. screenshots attached [2025-10-11 10_39_05-] [2025-10-11 10_37_08] [2025-10-11 10_38_14…

Hi, I am new to Piggy Bank app..so my interpretation might be wrong. In my experience the “available power” in your screenshot depends upon the settings of the fuse capacity as shown in the screenshot below [image]

@Kaushal_Pander , thank you for the tip. It is set to 63 A, so i don’t think it’s the max power that is the issue. I was probably a little unclear, but the problem is that Piggy sets available power to 0 even when current load is at 0,5-3kW. If the load was high and the estimated consumption was sti…

What is the difference between “Disable override” and “Controlled” when I want Piggy Bank to resume control of a device I have used in “manual temperature” for a while?

Did you figure out anything? I have had the same problem the whole night last nights….

Unfortunately I did not. Still having the same issue. But the app sort of does it’s jobb. It does not turn of all my heating devices, just the water heater, and then it usually gets the data right again and becomes stable before turning off heating cables, ovens and AC. But it is quite annoying… D…

What value have you set for “reserved power” (reservert effekt) ? [1000026008]

If “Piggy Bank” could control the device before you activated manual override, I think those two options will give the same result, e.g. device will be put back to “controlled” under priority settings either way. But if this device for instance was set to “always on” before manual override was activ…

Have some problems. Available effect doesn’t update anymore. Or lives it own life. This results in “limiting” the power. Does anyone else experience the same?
