Hey. Anyone have a solution for getting price of electricity showing in homey? Tried with an aop called spot prices, but didn’t get a good solution. Perhaps get some information from nordpool somehow? Anyone has an idea?

I have no experience with it, but perhaps it’s possible to multiply the kWh with the price/kWh with logic variables? And then display it on a virtual thermostat? That seems one of the few (or only?) devices that can display a value…

In countries more sophisticated than NL it’s quite common for consumers to use spot pricing for electricity, where prices can change every half hour. So you need an app (like the aforementioned Spot Prices) that is able to retrieve the current price.

Ah, didn’t know that, thx for clearifying. Though we could discuss whether flexible prices are more sophisticated. I’d rather know what I’d sign up for. But that’s a whole other discussion… :wink:

The electric energy market is open market (opened 1995 and 1998 for “normal” consumers) and consumer can choo…

Either way the price are fluctuating with Nordpool anf with the price in Homey it would be easy to put up scenarios with heating and so on. I know spot price app can control it, but then i dont see the…
