[APP][Pro] Power by the Hour: Insights per hour, day, month and year

For Tibber (who will move tomorrow to 15 minute prices), the prices are spot on in the Energy tab. The only bug that I also see is that instead of 05:00-05:15 it shows 05:00-06:00, and for 05:15-05:30 it shows wrongly 05:15-06:15. I believe that to be a visual hard coded mistake by Athom.

In Finland i can see PBTH hour prices for to morrow.

I’m experiencing odd issues (like timeouts) with the web app in general.
Do you see a different response @ mobile app?

Same here, receiving timeouts when i try to save settings.

Do you see a different response @ mobile app?

Yes, same response also in mobile app on both iOS and Android.

@Matti_Hirvonen mee too now. The prices for tomorrow were not there earlier today. It seems PBTH is fixed for now. Let’s hope it stays that way. Would be nice to have the 15 minute flow cards toošŸ‘

I still don’t have correct values, yesterday at 8pm the last change happened, I did restart PbtH in that hour to try repair, and no change since…

No price updates here since 9 hours ago and no images available about the price per period

For me the same issue.

Since midnight no price updates and no graph.

Same here, no prices…. :man_shrugging:t2:

Same here

It seems PBTH shows hourly prices, but at least for me, they are not the average hourly prices, but something else.

Pbth prices are empty. The energy flow cards from Athom do work, but I do not know how they calculate the prices

Visual issue (Homey energy) is solved, but PBTH doesn’t work (no data).

Another issue is that flow cards only use hourly tariffs, more specific, the first tariff of the hour. It should be possible to use the average tariffs of all the 4 quarters. Otherwise, flow decisions can be made on wrong data (imagine tariff on 10 hr. is € 0,20 and 10.15/10.30/10.45 is € 0,15. Average is lower than € 0,20, but cards in flow use € 0,20 and ā€˜wrong’ decisions can result). I also reported this to Homey, as Athom also didn’t add flow cards to use quarterly tariffs (e.g. to calculate hourly averages, so data in Homey are aligned with data energy companies still using hourly tariffs).

@Gruijter : I have looked into some of the source code, and I believe you and those eventually helping you have a big job ahead to integrate the change from price by the hour to prices by the 15 minutes. A suggestion I would like to make is to consider slicing this effort into pieces by bringing back gradually with every update functionality. A first step could be to fix the download of pricing, and to internally convert them to hourly averages so that all code relying on hourly data can continue to work, and then to roll out the 15 minutes approach module by module.
This way we return to a working Power by the Hour, with in the beginning not perfect reporting (but better than nothing) and not perfect governing of Sessy batteries (but better than what Sessy offers). Over time each of these things / modules / functionalities can then be improved to the 15 minute price updates.

Just my 2 cents to support the efforts, and to spread out the work over a longer period. Hopefully preventing stress and nightshifts to get things done.

Yes, me and the other developers (also me :joy:) are making progress on the new version. But it needs more work. So hold tight all ….

Finland. PBTH seems to fetch average hourly prices correctly at the moment.

Hoping you will be able to implement the 15 minute prices. My electricity price will be billed per 15 minutes starting today. Donation coming from here if you get this solved :slight_smile:

Here in Norway regular customers will still be billed by the hour, which is simply the average of the four 15 minute values.

@Gruijter I hope you will be able to make it work so that both those that need the 15 minute interval prices and those that need the hour interval can be catered for. Ideally I think the hourly prices should look and function as before (but you may have to calculate the average, I guess), and then allow for new 15 minute prices to be available for those that needs or wants them.
