Installed 5.1.1. After upating all the devices are back with no exclamationmarks. Will see what happens tomorrow. Thanks. ---

PbtH says this night 04:00 is the lowest price. But the app from ANWB says the lowest price is at 03:00 and 04:00. How can i use a flow that starts my dishwasher at the second lowest time and also take advantage from the lowest price at 03:00? If the dishwasher needs about 3 hours to wash the app should take the lowest hours. ![Schermafbeelding 2023-01-07 om 23.04.52](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/0/c/0c7f325d718b91b9acbdfcac71460b8fb32c5c93.jpeg) ---

The trigger card is called ‘avg price next hours becomes lowest’. It calculates the best consecutive hours. You can choose the best hours for today or for the next 8 hours. When selecting the next 8 hours it will be a rolling condition. This means that when prices keep going down it will never be triggered. So I might also implement the same function but with a finite end time. ---

Hi @Gruijter, first testresults on my end look fine (5.1.1). ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/1/7/176c0c01f2d2fb5d8a997a81f91e4bf03b1ff21d.png) It looks even better than the official Zonnepanelen App because the reset occurs exactly at 00:00 instead of 05:00 (in the official Zonnepanelen app). Will see what today brings. Thanks for all the effort ---

Hello Thanks for the great app. Already very usefull as it is. At the moment I’m doing some dry runs to estimate the usefullness of a Victron ESS system. Maybe I’m missing something but is it posible to have the prices of every hour as a sepparate parameter? I could run some calculations to establish the 3 lowest hours during the day for charging.

Yep, I confirm, great job ! 🙂 It looks like drops down are gone…just the rounding in the settings seems not to be working properly/ consistently… not sure it’s still related or not ---

It works for meter readings but seems it’s not working for decimals [obrazek] what are the kWh actually showing ? Eg. in case of given month, shouldn’t be this just incremental growth ? See some comparison what I mean… Or : Thank you. It’s for consumption rounding as well as monetary values rounding - even tried to set new nr. of decimals but didn’t help - and some devices shows that correctly, some not - but indeed it’s minor possibly cosmetic issue ---

Results for today. KwH this day is ok. 🥳 “Vermogen” (power?) Still has al little strange bump 😕: ![Scherm­afbeelding 2023-01-08 om 17.19.41](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/4/1/41c1e8dae50721af5cec7990a3ebc4425092da1d.png) ![Scherm­afbeelding 2023-01-08 om 17.24.10](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/5/9/593801b3000128730a9c4202e1dac05930af31ff.png) Value’s get up at 17:04 (because 4W of power from solar panels?) but stay at same level until app restart at 17:19. But this doesn’t seem to impact KwH this day… Zonnepanelen\_Σpower is the original summarizer device. Zonnepanelen\_Σpower Nieuw2 is a recently added summarizer device for testing purposes. Looks like “Vermogen” is behaving differently for the two. I’m going to remove this new test device and keep on monitoring the original one. ---
