[APP][Pro] Piggy Bank

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…

Did you find out anything?

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

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 activated, choosing “controlled” would change the behaviour of this device vs how it was configured before override. “Deactivate override” (or “always on”) would be the correct option in that case.

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?

Appen oppdaterer ikke prisnivåene og høy og lav pris har samme verdi.

Bruker strømregning i tillegg.

Nordpool changed the resolution of their prices from hourly to 15-min. This broke quite a number of apps, including electrical bill (might have been fixed now). As this app broke, and in addition to that it hasn’t been maintained for quite some time, I ended up writing a new app inspired by Piggy Bank.

@Ole_Markus_With Sorry for not being very active here, but you are welcome to submit change requests to the piggy bank repository, I will gladly include it if it fixes things that are broken. It was just a bit too much time consuming when I was working on it alone…

Understood. I would have contributed if I knew that. But now I sort of have my own app that is a bit more specific to my needs. It has some features that would not fit that well with Piggy Bank.

Is it possible to update piggy bank so available effect is calculating correct?

Muligheter for at du kunne lage et “SÅ” kort som oppdaterer strømpris i sparegris?

Hadde hvert greit hvis noe sånt skulle gjenta seg:)

Should you be interested, the app I mentioned is here: PELS | Homey

Author of piggy bank has withdrawn somewhat, does this app provide the same opportunities? And do you think it will be maintained?

Short answer: to some extent, and yes. Happy to discuss the details in the app thread [APP][Pro] PELS - Save energy and money with automatic capacity control and price-aware load shifting

There is also this one now, which seem to work better with EV chargers: Power Guard | Homey
