Can someone explain to me how changing Energy costs are processed in Home Assistant?
For example,
I’m currently setting a fixed price for high, low tariff and gas costs by specifying a static price, as I have no way to automate this yet (I get notified by mail monthly what my new tariffs will be).
Every month I change these figures accordingly.
With this in mind I have some questions:
- When I change the price, will this new price be applied to all previous usage as well, or does Home Assistant take into account when I changed the static price and only use the new price going forward from that date and keep the previous price for when that was configured?
- If it’s applied to all previous used energy as well, how can I use changing prices to track yearly costs?
- If it’s based on when I changed the price in HA, is there a way to apply the new price to a specific date range afterwards or am I stuck with the moment I entered the new price?
