For Energy to work properly in Norway, we really need the option to update the energy price directly from a Flow. Right now, we have to rely on community apps and virtual devices just to get a price indicator, and that always feels like a clumsy workaround for what should be a simple, built-in feature.
As of October 1st, 2025, the Norwegian government has introduced “Norgespris” – a fixed energy price of 0.50 NOK/kWh. On top of this, every household also pays tariffs from the grid operator (nettleie). This means the actual energy price per kWh changes depending on the time of day and capacity use.
Here’s a simplified breakdown from a real bill example:
-
Fixed energy price (Norgespris): 0.50 NOK/kWh
-
Nettleie – day tariff (06:00–22:00, weekdays): 0.296 NOK/kWh
-
Nettleie – night/weekend tariff: 0.176 NOK/kWh
-
Forbruksavgift (state tax): 0.1693 NOK/kWh
-
Capacity tariff (based on top 3 hours per month): ~465 NOK/month in this case
So in practice, the real price looks like this:
-
Daytime weekdays: 0.50 + 0.296 + 0.1693 = ~0.97 NOK/kWh
-
Nights/weekends: 0.50 + 0.176 + 0.1693 = ~0.85 NOK/kWh
-
Plus the fixed capacity cost per month.
There is no single fixed number that works for everyone, because tariffs vary depending on region, contract, and usage patterns.
This is why a Flow action like “Set Energy Price” would solve everything:
-
Each user could build their own logic in Flow, combining fixed price, dynamic tariffs, or even API calls.
-
No need for countless special cases in the Energy settings.
-
It would also save Homey a lot of developer hours – you don’t have to model every country’s grid tariff system.
If you prioritize optimizing Flows (performance, more math functions, better documentation, global variables, etc.), we as users could solve these kinds of country-specific cases ourselves instead of relying on fragile community app workarounds.
In short: Let users update the energy price via Flow. That’s all we need.
