I’m reaching out to see if there are developers in our community interested in collaborating to bring this concept to life as a custom component for Home Assistant, accessible through HACS.
- The aim is to create a component that allows users to easily link their devices with live electricity pricing (e.g., Nordpool rates) to monitor running costs directly within Home Assistant’s UI.
- Cost entities (daily, monthly, yearly and total) sould be under the device so it would be easier overview and structure
- Ideally, this component would automatically detect power consumption entities and suggest setting them up for cost tracking, offering detailed insights into energy expenses. Like PowerCalc is doing for devices they have data how to calculate power usage.
