IMO it only makes sense for your main meter, not for individual socket level meters. But please contribute to the discussion and let me know how important this function is for you all. Or should I invest my energy and time in other stuff?
I wanted to calculate the difference between my current contact (High / Low tarif) and an optional Hourly changing tarif (Tibber, ANWB, etc.)
Therefore I wanted two (or more) Power summarizers
one with the High and Low tarif configured with the additional monthly fees
one with the DAP pricing and monthly fees for one of those energy companies.
Currently it is only possible to have one Power (or Gas Summarizer) configured.
Having the possibility to add a second (or more) Summarizer for one P1 Electricity/Gas meter would make it visible what your current (past) usage pattern would do to your energy bill switching to an hourly contract.
Current workaround (Thanks @Gruijter ) but not yet tested.
Clone your P1 with a Virtual Device. => Summarize this.
Feature requests:
Make it possible to add an extra Summarizer (without having to clone the P1 Meter )
Add a option to add a Monthly fee calculation to the Summarizer to have a direct comparison between two contracts.
have an option to update one Summarizer with the DAP + fixed markup and % Markup
have an option to set fe according to schedule Fixed Day / Night tariff on the other Summarizer
Then only have to find all fee’s / markup / taxes in the contracts to calculate the total energy bill in Homey.
Being interested in investing in an Home Battery to store my Daily generated solar energy, I want to know what it would save me om usage (money) in fe the night or expensive hours.
Seeing my nightly usage I can guesstimate that for ~8 or 9 months a year a fe 8 - 10 kWh would be more than enough. Other months I may still need a couple of days / hours a day the grid.
At this moment in The Netherlands it is probably not economical as we have the consolidation (“salderingsregeling”) that consolidates on a year all returned energy.
This is also one of the reasons I won’t switch right away to a hourly based contract.
Feature request:
A Virtual battery (with a certain configurable Capacity in kWh)
that calculates the charged capacity (Battery Full %) on fe % returned energy from P1 until 100% full
and calculates (fe on DAP triff) the savings by not returning % of Solar Generated energy while charging (Charge Capacity * tariff)
and calculating the not consumed energy while discharging. (To_be_Not_Consumed * Tariff)
This will result in “Virtual Savings” by the battery
Knowing the approximately investment of a Battery vs the savings / month it can predict a ROI for your usage pattern giving your configured tariff for energy.
(Yeah I know this Feature Request is a Pretty complex one, but imo better here (PBTH) in a neutral app than in a vendor specific (Sessy, solaredge, etc… ) app or a separate app (PBTH has many insights like the tariff and P1 usage already)
Hi Gruijter, I like to make a flow where I can tell via a push notification to my household when it is the cheapest time to charge (bicycles, car and run dishwasher). this can be spread throughout the day. Like to have something like. User XYZ the best (cheapest time) to run your equipment in the next x hours is the following order : 23:00 16:00 2:00 3:00 1:00 ect. (in this example 23:00 cheapest and then increasing)
Any suggestion how to create something like this making use of your app.
I can do that, but it means that all power devices will always show up during pair. Even the ones you already added. Is anyone against implementing this? Then let us know, otherwise I will put this on the todo list
Yes, is the same as #2. Will put it on the list.
This is the current functionality already. Or do you mean something else?
This you can already do now using a flow to set day/night tariff.
I fully understand your request. But creating configurable push messages in a user friendly way is not easy in Homey, and I am struggling with how to do that.
What I do myself is send a whatsapp message to myself and my wife when a cheap hour starts. Also Homey then says: ‘It is now a good time to start the washing machine @ xx euro/kWh’
Secondly, I send a whatsapp message to myself whenever Homey receives new tariffs. I created a flowcard especially for that. It will give you all tariffs for the day, startting at 0hrs. It is not very user friendly, but at least I can see all tariffs of the day by opening the message.
I might create tariff update groups. So that from the DAP device you can select which Summarizer group to update. And in the summarizer you should then also be able to select which tariff group to use. Or would that be too complex to setup as a user?
I am thinking of doing it this way:
It will be part of the summarizer device, not the DAP device.
In the device settings you can optionally set a fixed amount that is added start of every month, and a fixed amount that is added start of every day.
