I’m trying to create a flow in which some events are triggered when the current price falls below a certain value.
But I’m having problems getting the correct current price. For testing I created the following simple flow, that should send me a message whether the current price is below or above my defined value (see picture).
For example let’s say the current price is 9 Cent/kWh and my defined value is 20 Cent/kWh. Then the flow should tell me that I’m below the threshhold, but it doesn’t. After running the flow it tells me that the variable for current price is now set to 29 Cent/kWh (?), but that doesn’t match with the actual current price from tibber…
Yeah well, the problem is, that the current price variable is not showing the correct tibber price. It’s supposed to but it doesn’t work. When I look in the official tibber app, the current price is different from the one I’m getting in Homey.
I already connected tibber support and they are assuming that there are some data synchronization problems. But it find it astonishing that there seem to be no other users having the same problem. So I thougt maybe there is something wrong in my set-up somewhere…
I saw the same issue this week and also asked Tibber support and this is their answer:
The quarter prices are already available via our API. Now it is the case that some extra work is needed for the Homey app. This is not there at the moment but is on our list. Unfortunately, I do not have a concrete answer for you at the moment when this comes. At least we are working on it.
So the prices in the Homey app are still the hourly prices

You can use the Homey energy tab dynamic prices if you’re interested;
In the post below you’ll find the formula to have Tibber prices correctly calculated, and available in flows:
(15 minute prices possible)
