Any good ideas are welcome. Nordpool Energy Price per hour

Gelisob · March 19, 2023, 6:44pm

I failed with porting that one over so I took the example 5 code and brute forced my day and night numbers into that and added together other tariffs into the “hourly fixed cost” value.
It can be made prettier but I think I’ll leave it here like that for anyone who also wants true total cost values and maybe has summer-winter differences that they want to use. Also changed hours.
Fairly good starting point for anyone I think who meddles with config on that level.

here’s the additional cost value to have nordpool graph with tarrifs:

  additional_costs: '{% set s = {
  "hourly_fixed_cost": 0.0226,
  "winter_night": 0.021,
  "winter_day": 0.0369,
  "summer_day": 0.0369,
  "summer_night": 0.021,
  "cert": 0.001
  }
  %}
    {% if now().month >= 5 and now().month < 11 %}
        {% if now().hour >= 7 and now().hour < 22 %}
            {{ s.summer_day + s.hourly_fixed_cost + s.cert | float }}
        {% else %}
            {{ s.summer_night + s.hourly_fixed_cost + s.cert|float }}
        {% endif %}
    {% else %}
        {% if now().hour >= 7 and now().hour < 22 %}
            {{ s.winter_day + s.hourly_fixed_cost + s.cert | float }}
        {% else %}
            {{ s.winter_night + s.hourly_fixed_cost + s.cert | float }}
        {% endif %}
    {% endif %}'

Thanks i’ll check the prices. Haven’t done it in a while.

And yes, this makes sense that it uses the current value for all hours, because nordpool integration does not know anything about the helper logic.

Try to port the template code into the nordpool configuration like in example 5, and let us know how it went.

Gelisob · March 19, 2023, 7:09pm

okay here’s prettified code version to generate graph with hourly price differences. If you dont have seasonal differences, just put same number to both periods.
if you dont have something in the list, just use value 0.

  # VAT 1.2 means additional costs get 20% vat added after adding together. Not sure how nordpool VAT: True manages additional costs.
  additional_costs: '{% set s = {
  "operator_margin": 0.0102,
  "electricity_excise": 0.001,
  "renewable_tariff": 0.0124,
  "winter_day": 0.0369,
  "winter_night": 0.021,
  "summer_night": 0.021,
  "summer_day": 0.0369,
  "electricity_excise": 0.001,
  "VAT": 1.2 
  }
  %}
    {% if now().month >= 5 and now().month < 11 %}
      {% if now().weekday() in (5,6) %}
          {{ (s.summer_night + s.operator_margin + s.renewable_tariff + s.electricity_excise) * s.VAT | float }}
      {% else %}
        {% if now().hour >= 7 and now().hour < 22 %}
            {{ (s.summer_day + s.operator_margin + s.renewable_tariff + s.electricity_excise) * s.VAT | float }}
        {% else %}
            {{ (s.summer_night + s.operator_margin + s.renewable_tariff + s.electricity_excise) * s.VAT | float }}
        {% endif %}
      {% endif %}
    {% else %}
      {% if now().weekday() in (5,6) %}
          {{ (s.summer_night + s.operator_margin + s.renewable_tariff + s.electricity_excise) * s.VAT | float }}
      {% else %}
        {% if now().hour >= 7 and now().hour < 22 %}
            {{ (s.winter_day + s.operator_margin + s.renewable_tariff + s.electricity_excise) * s.VAT | float }}
        {% else %}
            {{ (s.winter_night + s.operator_margin + s.renewable_tariff + s.electricity_excise) * s.VAT | float }}
        {% endif %}
      {% endif %}
    {% endif %}'

edit: forgot the weekends. Added weekend if’s to use summer night rates.

Please apologise for the delay. I had to re-install my Raspberry due to stupidness of myself.

Here you go. I also tried to format it as “0,25” instead “0.25” but have the same result.

EdwardTFN · March 20, 2023, 12:51pm

The problem is on your sensor id missing the sensor. in the beginning:

It should be sensor.nordpool_kwh_dk1_dkk_3_10_025.

By the way, you will make my life easier if you share your YAML instead of screenshots.

EdwardTFN · March 20, 2023, 12:53pm

When looking at Developer Tools > Status, don’t copy the screen from the “Set State” box. That one if for changing the state, not to see the current state, which is in the big table bellow this box.

tho1981 · March 20, 2023, 12:57pm

Is it now the right box?

tho1981 · March 20, 2023, 12:59pm

Haha. Okay, fair enough.
Still same error though.

EdwardTFN · March 20, 2023, 2:16pm

yeap!
This is the right one.

But what if you filter for the sensor sensor.nordpool_kwh_dk1_dkk_3_10_025 instead?

Ok, change the availability to this:

tho1981 · March 20, 2023, 6:42pm

Wooooohoo. The error message is gone. Now I need to see if the number counts upwards in approximately 14 hours when the sun is doing its thing.

I don’t know why yourself and many others are helping all the noobs like myself but I find it super cool!

EdwardTFN · March 20, 2023, 9:12pm

To see this:

droidgren · March 21, 2023, 9:55am

Today I don’t see the current value of the consumption in the header anymore, instead it shows the last value. It should be around 1,5 and not 0,7 Why?

Here is my code

Hello! Does any one send a notification with average, min, max prices as well as times when nordpool prices get updated? Care to share your code?

hmadsen · April 1, 2023, 7:44am

Anyone able to help me

I had done a few different versions of a sensor, but only needed one so i wanted to trim my configuration.yaml, and i am a fool so i did not make a copy of the original file, i just deleted and saved, and now this sensor is not working

It says configuration is invalid when i try to restart HA so i have to comment it out and save to be able to reload.

Sensor should just be doing simple math, subtracting one sensor from another to know what surplus i have.

I probably deleted something i should have, when deleting the other sensors.

This is what’s left in the configuration.yaml file.

   sensors:
      delta_t_solar_heating3:
        friendly_name: Surplus solar 3
        unit_of_measurement: W
        value_template: >-
          {{ ( states('sensor.pv_power') | float |
          round(0)) -  ( states('sensor.load_power') | float
          | round(0))}}

EdwardTFN · April 1, 2023, 8:05pm

Try remov8ng the “s” at the end of sensors:…

It will look like this:

sensor:
      delta_t_solar_heating3:
        friendly_name: Surplus solar 3
        unit_of_measurement: W
        value_template: >-
          {{ ( states('sensor.pv_power') | float |
          round(0)) -  ( states('sensor.load_power') | float
          | round(0))}}

hmadsen · April 2, 2023, 6:49am

Thank you

Seems i messed up a bit more than i thought

If i do as you say i get another error

Here is the full file, can you spot what is wrong

# Configure a default setup of Home Assistant (frontend, api, etc)

After changing it to sensor i get this error when checking

PS. yes this is the full file, i am not a very advanced user

RT1080 · April 2, 2023, 7:57am

you forgot the platform, this is template. And then indeed you can follow with “sensors” (as opposed to sensor).

Template - Home Assistant (home-assistant.io)

platform: template
sensors:
  delta_t_solar_heating:
    friendly_name: Surplus solar 3
    unit_of_measurement: W
    value_template: >-
      {{ ( states('sensor.pv_power') | float | round(0)) -  ( states('sensor.load_power') | float | round(0))}}  
  sensor2:
     etc

RT1080 · April 2, 2023, 8:00am

might be though mine is the old-fashioned syntax - does work.
