Tibber - Schedul prices upcoming 24 hours prices!

doncuco · January 31, 2025, 9:34pm

Hello Ingo,
i am following your entries the last month because your work is excelent and gladly you share it with us!
One question. Right now i am useing a NodeRed logic that is quite well working. Has some issues not loading my battery fully, but it is ok. It’s for sonnenbatteries.

This logic calculates the battery charged energy price and prevents from discharging when tibber is cheaper.
Is this possible with your logic too?

Also very prommissig looks this plugin but i couldn’t bring it to work.

Hello
I like this card. But now I have a problem. Since this month my Tibber is active. But in “Verbrauch & Kosten” I have Problems. It is the first month with tibber, an I did not know the real “Gebühren” . So I set them to 100 and 90.

But the footer shows 0 Eur. And I think the coöour is not correct.

Also the “Preis” is 0.

What do you must see to help?

I reloaded all sensors from this post

But my problem goes on.
Than I reloaded 1 sensor with an action and after that I see in the logs

Template variable error: list object has no element 0 when rendering '{{ value_json.data.viewer.homes[0].consumption.nodes[0].consumption | float (default=0) }}'
Template variable error: list object has no element 0 when rendering '{{ value_json.data.viewer.homes[0].consumption.nodes[0].cost | float (default=0) }}'

This the template-sensor

  # Tibber Monthly Consumption Sensor
  - platform: rest
    unique_id: tibber_monthly_consumption
    name: Tibber Monthly Consumption
    resource: https://api.tibber.com/v1-beta/gql
    method: POST
    payload: '{ "query": "{ viewer { homes { consumption(resolution: MONTHLY, last: 12) { nodes { consumption cost unitPrice unitPriceVAT from to } } } } }" }'
    json_attributes_path: "$.data.viewer.homes[0].consumption"
    json_attributes:
      - nodes
    value_template: "{{ value_json.data.viewer.homes[0].consumption.nodes[0].consumption | float (default=0) }}"
    scan_interval: 300
    headers:
      Authorization: !secret tibber_token
      Content-Type: application/json
    unit_of_measurement: kWh
    state_class: total

Can somebody help?

You add your Tibber Token in /homeassistant/secrets.yaml ?

jove01 · February 5, 2025, 11:07pm

My solution
I changed my former card to the card from thecem

Than I found from Ingo [quote=“ingo.niehues, post:202, topic:391565”]
Tibber Actual Month Cost-Sensor[/quote]
and deleted the Rest-Sensor.

Than I changed for “Gesamt” opacity and stroke_width to 0.1 and 1.

At least I have in 24-Stunden a Problem. This values are zero. In 30 Tage they are o.k.

So I hope for a last help by the zero-values.

htietze · February 28, 2025, 4:40pm

For some reason I don’t get data via the data_generator. Tried with this solution as well as other and always get stuck in “Loading…”. Any advice?

PS: Missed to add the REST sensor. Sorry for the noise.

Neewieedo · March 1, 2025, 9:18am

seeing the complete code might help…

Neewieedo · March 2, 2025, 7:38am

so for me the code in the screenshot is cut off…

Neewieedo · March 3, 2025, 6:01am

You won’t be able to generate a curve with this data_generator: code!

In your screenshot above, the code goes up to line 18 but is unfortunately cut off on the right!

Hi @KlausB and @ingo.niehues , same question/issue:

sensor.tibber_verbrauch_daily/weekly/monthly/yearly are these 4 created utility meters with the total consumption set (one for daily, one for weekly, one for monthly and one for yearly)?
how can I create the daily, weekly, monthly and yearly costs per kwh?
When I try toss-up a template helper sensor and put in the code:

{{ (states(“sensor.tibber_kosten_daily”) | float(default=0) / states(“sensor.tibber_verbrauch_daily”) | float(default=0) * 100) | float(default=0) }}

where can I retrieve the “sensor.tibber_kosten_daily” (I added the tibber example prices tibber_prices rest api to my configuration.yaml)?

irpyc · May 7, 2025, 9:48am

Thanks so much for the code, unfortunately I spend way too many hours trying to make it work (each restart take times), but the entity always stay at “Unknown”

I did add the code in configuration.yaml, like so

sensor:

platform: rest
unique_id: tibber_prices
name: Tibber Prices
resource: https://api.tibber.com/v1-beta/gql
method: POST
payload: ‘{ “query”: “{ viewer { homes { currentSubscription { status priceInfo { current { total level } today { total level } tomorrow { total level } } } } } }” }’
json_attributes_path: “$.data.viewer.homes[0].currentSubscription.priceInfo”
json_attributes:

today

tomorrow
value_template: “{{ value_json.data.viewer.homes[0].currentSubscription.priceInfo.current.total | float }}”
scan_interval: 30
headers:
Authorization: !secret tibber_token
Content-Type: application/json
User-Agent: REST
unit_of_measurement: EUR/kWh

and I did add the tibber_token: in secrets.yaml

In the logs I have:

Logger: homeassistant.components.rest.data

JSON result was not a dictionary or list with 0th element a dictionary

This tibber code is the only thing in my HA trying to use rest.

Otherwise the official Tibber integration is working and fetching the data, I could even successfully get manually the forecast with the action tibber.get_prices

Could someone please help? It would be so amazing and saving me money, if I could have the forecast in HA

Neewieedo · May 7, 2025, 10:26am

Hello everyone,
Tibber has just announced that it will switch to quarter-hourly pricing starting in June.
How does this affect the data query and the code used to display the price curves?

roelos · May 11, 2025, 4:42pm

Hi,

I got the basics working but 3 sensors are missing:

sensor.tibber_aktueller_Prijs_ist_tageshochstPrijs
sensor.tibber_kosten_daily
sensor.tibber_kosten_je_kwh_daily

Anyone got ay ideas how to create them?

ps915 · October 2, 2025, 7:39pm

Hi Ingo! Danke erstmal für deine tolle card.

I have two Questions: How did you manage to calculate the daily, monthly, weekly and yearly costs from Tibber? My Tibber integration has no Sensor i could use as an Input for the utility meter, because the Tibber entitys always reset. Which entity did you used as the source?

Sencond Question:
How are the icons called for “Tibber Preisspanne Heute” and “Tibber aktueller Preis ist Tageshochstpreis”? I scrolled like 15 minutes the endless icon dropdown list and searched every keyword. Could not find it

mager · October 5, 2025, 2:11pm

Does this make sense? The prices change a 0:00 from today->tomorrow and we get tomorrow’s prices by 13:00. I would not poll prices every 30 seconds! (even every 3600 seconds=hourly is overkill)

Head · October 26, 2025, 12:13pm

Hey, I did use code from here since years. Now I was looking to have a small bar, like in the tibber app and found this:

This is super easy and has both a bar and a graph. Tough not as customizable as a custom integration…

Ronnieellens · November 2, 2025, 8:29pm

Hello i’m trying te get some nodes working in node red with the tibber query node. but i got stuck. i don’t understand where to fill in the query to get it al to work.
