Flow to prioritize units when trying to keep total effect under a max level

I totally agree, it would be great to have a Wiki or library with general/basic flows that users could copy or build on. But I suspect the reason this doesn’t exist is because flows (especially Advanced Flows) are so customizable that it’s hard to make examples that fit all setups.

That said, there are a few useful threads and resources:

Yes, combining power usage and hourly prices makes the flow much more efficient and cost-saving :money_with_wings:

Here are a few ways to integrate price into your flows:

Use the recently released Homey Energy flowcards as example:
“It is one of the x Hours cheapest hours of today”

You can use this to run a flow that only starts EV charging or heating when the price is in the cheapest of example 12 out of 24 hours.


Homey Energy Flowcards:

Strømregning App (Link)

This app doesn’t yet offer flow cards for the cheapest hours, like the other apps does. But it does include cards for average/median price, which can work for simpler setups.
Example use:


“And” Flowcards:


Tibber App (Link)

Tibber has powerful flow cards for price-based logic (if you are a Tibber customer).


Power by the Hour App (Link)

If you don’t have Tibber, the Power by the Hour app is a great alternative. It includes similar price flow cards like Tibber.

Heating Controller (Link)

Heating Controller have also the similar flowcards like the other apps.
