Hi,
“Deleted unnecessary introduction text…and restructured my post” - thanks for the advice!
What I like to have / automate (should be a warm up ):
- Push “Shelly Button 1” (different actions worked)
- “Helper” should look for the cheapest price → if true
** Use this HELPER GitHub Helper ha_epex_spot_sensor - Dishwasher (or any device) should start with the specific program
- Optional:
** Voice outcome → tell me when the dishwasher will start / will be finished
** Notification when the dishwasher will start / will be finished
I was here…
- EPEX Spot and Awattar Electricity Prices
- Find time to start device from price
- Timer started events
- Blueprint start devices based on cheapest price
- Good ideas to work with “cheapest prices”
Situation now:
- Siemens dish washer
- “Helper” from here GitHub Helper ha_epex_spot_sensor - I’d like to go with that
** I’m on an Austrian provider “SmartEnergy AT” - Shelly button configured and set up
- Using a “Automation”
Questions?
? Is there something wrong with the “And if” condition
? Do I have to use “Then” with sequenced actions → Entity “look for prices” → start the dishwasher
“Automation configuration”

Screenshot shows how I set up the automation using the GUI and how I defined the above mentioned helper
Meanwhile I’ll do further researches and proceed with my attempts.
Thank you in advance for a tip to solve my solution.
