I have two questions: 1. I have 15-minute electricity prices. Will these be shown in the Energy tab? Correction, there are 15 minutes prices in energy tab, but not in flowcards. Will it come in flowcards? 2. Regarding Solar Forecasting: does it learn and improve over time? What information does it use—only the system details I have entered and the weather forecast? Should I have to enter incorrect system values just to make the forecast more accurate? For example, I would like to be able to enter a maximum production value, since it often predicts levels that my system has never actually reached. ---

Yes I’m also interested in understanding how the forecasting is done and if (and how) it will improve over time ---

I’d also like to know more about the solar forecast. There is a link in the panel configuration, but at least for me, it leads to a page that doesn’t exist: ![Picsew_20260721200941](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/2/6/260786fc4e22faaa92cc98cb649f73de86694324.jpeg) I already reported this bug to Athom last week, but so far there doesn’t seem to have been anything done about it. ---

I can’t say anything about the dynamic prices. You can find the settings for the solar forecast in the Homey smartphone app as follows: Energy → scroll all the way to the bottom → Settings → Solar / Panel Configuration > [@DirkG](#): > > There is a link in the panel configuration, but at least for me, it leads to a page that doesn’t exist: Btw, the link to the knowledge base has now been updated, and it opens the correct page: [Configure your solar panels for a more accurate forecast](https://support.homey.app/hc/en-us/articles/28016560594844-Configure-your-solar-panels-for-a-more-accurate-forecast) ---

I miss panel set # 6 😊 ![Screenshot_20260729_223542_Homey](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/3/7/372e99ffa61361bd5bab992042d71e3ba57e6e2c.jpeg) as I have 3 inverters with 6 separate strings 🌞 ![Screenshot_20260729_224225_Home Assistant](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/8/6/86b7299b8eb97b8e826eed34e99ddf676c589416.jpeg) (This is in Home Assistant) Sidenote: the [Power by the Hour app](https://community.homey.app/t/20535) does the forecast calculations automatically, based on historic results. I mean, no need for entering panel sets. It took only 2 weeks to get quite accurate; the graph shows both forecasted and actual production: ![Screenshot_20260729_224700_Homey](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/a/1/a1f0b46f87479ac59b3d70d0246913abe176a4cb.jpeg) ---

Hello, sorry but i cant find these forcast settings as well??? Is it in relation with the current homey version 13.4.0 because aim on 13.3.0 with my homey pro 26? In the Energy Tab i see all my PV Hardware and Wallbox but nowhere settings for this function? My App is updated at latest version which should support the forecast…v10.1.0.2047 ![IMG_7149](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/8/6/86c7e6d8865f2e50cabf1e0b23a76c50172d0a04.jpeg) That is what i see in the app under Energy-\>Settings…. ![IMG_7162](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/4/e/4e7f78519c95a5190b18182ea9c884fa1907b27b.jpeg) ---

Ok. So i updated everything today. Still not showing my end at all ☹ ![IMG_9957](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/d/4/d450f2542a8b3d26a058e16f4105a4ae468bdd18.jpeg) ![IMG_9958](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/8/c/8c53eac4f46525c9a14830aa8df5f9815ebf6450.jpeg) ---

@Rammstein and @Welshsmarthome, I use an iPhone, and the solar forecast was introduced about 9 days ago with the Homey smartphone TestFlight version 10.1.10, which is now also available in the regular App Store: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/b/a/bab12af46625e613fb421ec77bc7e2c92b4a1251.png) As far as I know this forecast has nothing to do with the Homey firmware. ---

@DirkG…Thx for feedback…i use iphone as well…well then i dont know where is the different between us? why you have the settigs and we not? @Welshsmarthome have already confirmed that it isnt in relation with the current homey firmware…very interesting! Could it be it is country specific and depending of the variable price model for the electricity? Because in the actual iphone App version v10.1.0 the only different which i see was they had removed the option to activate the price model, on my ipad i had on older version installed there i can select the price model but i get the message “not availible in your country” ---

To whom it may concern: All I can say it only appeared in my energy tab after updating Pro 2026 firmware to v13.4.0 the other day. But it’s not mentioned as feature in the [changelog](https://homey.app/en-us/wiki/homey-pro-firmware-changelog/), idk what’s going on… Because I was looking for the panel setting after reading about it in this topic, and it wasn’t there.

Okay, so Homey firmware v13.4.0 is required after all—I didn’t know that, sorry.
