Hi - I love the app and have been using it from my start of Homey (switched from years of HA usage).

Recently I setup an automated EnergyLogger flow to a google sheet. I automatically log energy usage every hour. When adding up all hours of the day, I get a different result than a full day total. The full day total lines up with my P1 HomeWizard reading. From this I deduce that there is something wrong (or I am doing something wrong) with the hour results. Can you share your insights?

E.g. for gas:

m3 deze dag: 8.56  
sum of m3 dit uur: 7.431  
P1 reading: 8.560

Similar results for power (stroom) and water

Thanks!

This hour is still counting. Try adding all ‘last hours’. Because that has finished counting.

Hmm… true, I will change that later today. However it wouldn’t explain that the individual sum would be higher. If the hour is still running then I would expect the total to be (slightly) lower

For whoever is interested, I’ve created a short tutorial on how to display the current energy price using the Power by the Hour app and DataVista. If you’re curious about visualizing hourly energy prices with a gauge, check it out here:

Very nice, Erik, thanks!

One thingy about

> 1. Do not overwrite the label, unless you prefer to display a fixed value instead of the actual price.

In case I want to use the Better Logic currency formatter (good hint!), it’s output tag can’t be used as [value], because it returns a _string_ tag.  
So I use it as [label], and the original numeric price tag as [value].  
It updates every hour @ price change w/o problem:

New to PBTH and have a few questions. I am in Australia and my energy provider sells at wholesale prices. They also have a Buy Price and a Sell Price, both of which can be -ve or +ve.  
Trying to understand Update Group. From what I read you just enter 1,2,3 etc and track manually what you want to use each group for, although I’m sure I could parameterise them.  
So is it valid that to track the buy and sell prices I can enter 1 for the Sell price update group and 2 for the buy price?  
Also is there any issue with these values being -ve?

Thanks for pointing that out @Peter_Kawa! I’ll update the tutorial and maybe update the DataVista app. To not clutter this thread, lets use the [DataVista topic](https://community.homey.app/t/app-pro-datavista/121482) for further discussion.

That is not the ANWB **gas** price.

Also the gas price of Frank Energie is wrong with €0,79 for today.\*\*

Zonneplan is asking €1,33\*\*

That are the graphics here

Oops.

This is with more info.  
Partly due to the low prices looked more E prices.

Hi,  
very nice APP, I already found many nice cards to use, but is there a possibility to get the price in Swedish öre instead of SEK? (100 öre = 1 SEK). The prices are often low, so low that the resolution in SEK is not showing the actual price.

In settings you can change the number of decimals.

Just adjust markups (% and fixed) to result in 100-fold numbers. And change the SEK to ORE.

Is it all so posible to make one tag more to use  
Price -1hour

so you can use it on export data to a sheet (google) on every hour (at electricty) and in the first hour off the day to export your gas price . And yes we have all ready Use last hour and price last hour.  
Ok i can calculate back in the sheet, but if avaible i can export direct.

Now I have a flow with a variable for the price (Electricty/gas) last hour/day  
every 5 min after the hour (for Electricty)  
Copy the info to a new row in the sheet #date;#Time;#Price-E-1U (the variable);#money lasthour  
Then I copy the #price now to the variable #price-E-1U

It do’s the same but it some extra task/work 🙂  
there all all ready a lot off tags for ever + houre in Electicity and gas so maybe one more for the latest hour -1 could be one more.

When doing the yearly changes in the app I found out that the TTF\_LEBA\_EasyEnergy has not been updated for weeks. Is something wrong? 🤔
