It’s going really well. Thank you very much for that. Question. I have 2 homes in Tibber. Is it possible to distinguish between them? Thanks Stefan
try and error. i have it. Just replace homes[0] with homes[1]. Thanks for the great work anyway!
Hi!
thanks for your example, this works nice.
is there any way i can add the power that has been used till now? with bars.
i have no clue how to implement this from other examples unfortunatly 
Hey, I landed here while looking for a way to get the day-ahead prices into home-assistant.
Is there any chance we can get this into the official Tibber integration?

Do you want this for automation purposes or just a pretty graph?
Thank you very much for sharing your YAML-Code. Helped me out a lot.
While playing around with the API i found, that there is a “price_level” for the price with the following states:
NORMAL
The price is greater than 90 % and smaller than 115 % compared to average price.
CHEAP
The price is greater than 60 % and smaller or equal to 90 % compared to average price.
VERY_CHEAP
The price is smaller or equal to 60 % compared to average price.
EXPENSIVE
The price is greater or equal to 115 % and smaller than 140 % compared to average price.
VERY_EXPENSIVE
The price is greater or equal to 140 % compared to average price.
I reused your REST-sensor and modified it, so that i get the price level. YAML-code is like this:
# Tibber Preislevel
- platform: rest
unique_id: tibber_price_level
name: Tibber Price Level
resource: https://api.tibber.com/v1-beta/gql
method: POST
payload: '{ "query": "{ viewer { homes { currentSubscription { status priceInfo { current { level } today { level } tomorrow { 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.level }}"
scan_interval: 30
headers:
Authorization: !secret tibber_token
Content-Type: application/json
User-Agent: REST
The sensor gives the price_level as actual state and for today and tomorrow in the attributes.
At the moment i only use this for the following markdown-card:
type: markdown
content: |-
{% if states("sensor.tibber_price_level") == "NORMAL" %}
<ha-alert alert-type="info" title="Preislevel"> Das aktuelle Preislevel ist **normal**.</ha-alert>
{% elif states("sensor.tibber_price_level") == "CHEAP" %}
<ha-alert alert-type="success" title="Preislevel"> Das aktuelle Preislevel ist **günstig**.</ha-alert>
{% elif states("sensor.tibber_price_level") == "VERY_CHEAP" %}
<ha-alert alert-type="success" title="Preislevel"> Das aktuelle Preislevel ist **sehr günstig**.</ha-alert>
{% elif states("sensor.tibber_price_level") == "EXPENSIVE" %}
<ha-alert alert-type="warning" title="Preislevel"> Das aktuelle Preislevel ist **teuer**.</ha-alert>
{% elif states("sensor.tibber_price_level") == "VERY_EXPENSIVE" %}
<ha-alert alert-type="error" title="Preislevel"> Das aktuelle Preislevel ist **sehr teuer**.</ha-alert>
{% endif %}
Has anyone here found a way to get the “minTotal” and “maxTotal”-values for “today” and “tomorrow” and mixed this with the “hourly”-list in the attributes of a home assistant entity?
I have no idea how to get “minTotal” and “maxTotal” into the JSON-String. I´m looking for a way to do it like this:
{
viewer {
homes {
currentSubscription {
priceInfo {
today {
total
startsAt
minTotal <- not included in "today"
maxTotal <- not included in "today"
}
tomorrow {
total
startsAt
minTotal <- not included in "tomorrow"
maxTotal <- not included in "tomorrow"
}
}
}
}
}
}
Hi there. Just wanted to say Thank you to you for this thread and your posts. It helped me out a lot to do a better start with tibber and home assistant.
I´ve created a custom-card to display my tibber prices, consumption and costs. It looks like this:

May you share your code? Looks very nice and would give me and maybe some other a good inspiration.
And it looks like you’re using an automation to charge your house battery from the grid. Maybe you can share this, too?
I just creates a dashboard where I have to setup charging the battery from the grid on each day (semi-manually).
Sure, no problem.
Card-Preview
The Card uses the following components:
- Tabbed-Card (HACS)
- Apex-Charts-Card (HACS)
- Stack-in-a-Card (HACS)
- Uptime-Card (HACS)
- Mushroom-Card HACS)
- Multiscrape-Integration (HACS)
- Markdown-Card
YAML-Code for the Card and Sensors
- YAML-Code for the Card
- YAML-Code for the Weekly Forecast Card
- Sensors for price preview and price level
- Multiscrape-Sensors for price forecast
For this you need:
- Utility-Meters for Daily, Weekly, Monthly and Yearly Consumption and Costs (based on the Sensors from the Tibber-Integration)
- A Template Sensor that shows the price-range from min to max on that day (see below)
- A template Sensor that shows how close the current price is the max-today price in percent (see below)
- 4 template sensors for the daily, weekly, monthly and yearly cost per kwh (see below)
- a switch-entity from your home-battery to turn on/off charging (to charge energy when it is cheap)
- a sensors that knows if it is before 13:00 (1pm) to show a message, that the prices for tomorrow will come after 1pm (see below)
- input-boolean that shows if your home battery should charge or not
- an automation to charge energy into your home-battery when price level is cheap or very cheap (see below)
Template-Sensors
You can setup the template sensors via UI as “helpers”. Here is the state-template for the sensors:
- price-range
{{ ((state_attr("sensor.electricity_price_wester_esch_26b","max_price") | float(default=0) - state_attr("sensor.electricity_price_wester_esch_26b","min_price") | float(default=0)) * 100) | round(1) }}
- how close is the current price to the max price in percent
{{ (((states("sensor.electricity_price_wester_esch_26b") | float(default=0) - state_attr("sensor.electricity_price_wester_esch_26b","min_price") | float(default=0)) / (state_attr("sensor.electricity_price_wester_esch_26b","max_price") | float(default=0) - state_attr("sensor.electricity_price_wester_esch_26b","min_price") | float(default=0))) * 100) | round(0) }}
daily, weekly, monthly and yearly costs per kwh (replace “daily” with “weekly”, “monthly” or “yearly”)
{{ (states("sensor.tibber_kosten_daily") | float(default=0) / states("sensor.tibber_verbrauch_daily") | float(default=0) * 100) | float(default=0) }}
Sensor that knows if it is before 13h (1pm)
Input-Boolean (Helper) that show if the home battery should be charged or not
Automation
The automation does the following things:
-
IF price-level changes to “cheap” or “very cheap”
-
AND IF home battery is below 95% charge AND the expected remaining solar energy today is lower then the capacity of the home battery
-
THEN start charging your home battery
-
ELSE IF price-level changes to “normal”, “expensive” or “very expensive”
-
OR home battery is above 95% charge
-
THEN stop charging your home battery

Love it. That’s not far what I’m planning to do.
Gives me a lot of ideas and inspiration. Thank you very much.

Lot’s of interesting approaches here.
I have a related Tibber use case: I use Home Assistant to activate my thermostat/heat pump when energy rates are lowest.
Since it doesn’t make sense to cycle a heat pump on-and off every hour I made my solution a bit smarter: I search for three continuous blocks of 4 hours in length where the average price is lowest (so 12 hours per day in total when heating is available).
To achieve this I created an external Python script that runs once per day to obtain pricing data from Tibber, I then use the Home Assistant API to plan calendar events for the time windows that I want my heating to be available. Finally the calendar triggers an automation that activates or deactivates a generic thermostat that controls my heating.
The title of each event contains the average price for the four-hour span (including tax, rounded to two decimal places):
Hourly prices are added to the description of each span:
Using a calendar to show hourly pricing would be easy: simply plan events for every hour with the pricing info in the title.

Hi Ingo
I tried to rebuild your tibber cards, but the first thing where I failed ist the
I put this code in the configuration.yaml and also my token to my secrets.yaml but I can´t find the tibber_prices under the entities.
Regards
Jörg
did you put your code unter the “sensor:”-part in your configuration.yaml like this? Did you take a look in your logs?

That was the problem… I put it under tibber: in the configuration.yaml 
Now I have another question:
Why differ the prices ?
Mh, good question. My price in HA Match the price in the App.
Is your Timezone setting in HA correct?
Yes, the timezone is correct. I ask tibber and see what they say
@ingo.niehues Thanks in advance for your help

Hi @ingo.niehues ,
great example. Love it, but sensor.tibber_verbrauch_daily/weekly/monthly
and all with cost doesn’t work. I created the Helper and put the YAML Part behind Sensor. Any kind of other hint? KR Klaus
