Blueprint that uses Nordpool and lets you turn on devices on the cheapest hours and make automations based on that information

Thanks for (extremly fast) answer ! Blossing … when i found ~20 new automations…

Question : Is there any way of knowing when the created automation will run ?

22

Hi

This automation will run when every hour as that is when the values changes in the nordpool entity.

24

Sorry for unclear question. I meant "is there a way of knowing what output the automation will create ? ( when will the devices be turned on ?) . Some simulation ?

Hi

Not that I’m aware of, you can look at traces to see what it did the last couple of times and when it was run.

Hi,

Is it possible to set always on to a negative price? I’m using solarpanels and my country adds 0,15 taxes to the nordpool price so there are moments like right now that I want to wait for the cheaper hours with turning my water heater on.

Price is 0 now though it will be cheaper in a couple of hours.

Hi

I have not tested it with negative value in all ways on so I don’t know how that works, but you can add the tax and fees to the nordpool prize so it is the actual price.

Awesome. Good job sir. :slight_smile:

Instead of the normal nordpool prices I now pasted my sensor that includes the taxes. That works

Would it be possible to add some kind of logging to the blueprint traces, so i can see what reasons it had for turning on or off.
Turned on due to min price
Turned on due to 3 cheapest hour
Turned off due to max price

Hello, what could be the reason why this template is not working for me?

Hi

This must be something new in the latest version of HA, sadly my HA did not survive the last upgrade and I have not had time to reinstall it so at the moment I do not have access to any system to test on.

Hi Vidmantukas,

Those legacy things are warnings. The code you have marked with them are valid and will work. If the BP is not working, there is a different problem.

34

I have made a fork of the repo on github and moved all the conditional logic to variables. This should all show up in the trace in HA and make it easier to follow why the automation does what it does. I also made a pull request to merge it into the main repo of @MikaelUlvesjo

Thanks for this, working well.

Could you tell me what you put in the ‘Template for additional costs’ box in the nordpool sensor to add the tax and fees?
