Not sure how to help you without any error message 
Is the Tibber integration working? Do you see the prices?
I är the prices and always had.
But when booting HA i get an error.
But I can’t find anything in the logs.

Great Work Daniel!
Is there any possibility to add the functionality without using HACS?
I’m thinking of directly from github. (have had issues with HACS and haven’t installed it)
You can copy the files manually to custom_components
I got it to work a little better after deleting alla files and downloaded it again.
But now I dont get any image. Wonder if it could be related to that i tries to show a image which is formatted like this “prices_Lusseröd 219.png” with swedish character and spaces…
hello @Danielhiversen
I would like to intergrate Tibber’s forecast prices in my Apex chart. I understand that forecast prices are not available as part of the Tibber integration. Could this be incorporated in the same way it was done for the electricity prices of Amber?
It looks like the forecast prices were implemented as attributes which can then be displayed in Apex charts.
That is not an acceptable solution for an official integration in Home Assistant.
Currently, Home Assistant does not have any good way to handle future values.
OK, I guess it was accepted for Amber since it is a custom integration. I hope there will be a way to handle this in the future, with the incorporation of the energy dashboard forecast value for electricity is definitely something to look at.
Hey! great work with this integration! Is there any way to get the max and min values for the next few hours?
I have this in my config to accommodate this need:
binary_sensor:
- platform: template

nordpool_cheapest_4_hours:

{% set l=state_attr('sensor.nordpool_kwh_oslo_nok_2_10_025', 'raw_today')|sort(attribute='value') %}
{{ (now() >= l[0].start and now() <= l[0].end)
or (now() >= l[1].start and now() <= l[1].end)
or (now() >= l[2].start and now() <= l[2].end)

{% set l=state_attr('sensor.nordpool_kwh_oslo_nok_2_10_025', 'raw_today')|sort(attribute='value') %}
{{ (now() >= l[0].start and now() <= l[0].end)
or (now() >= l[1].start and now() <= l[1].end)
or (now() >= l[2].start and now() <= l[2].end)
or (now() >= l[3].start and now() <= l[3].end)
or (now() >= l[4].start and now() <= l[4].end)
or (now() >= l[5].start and now() <= l[5].end)
or (now() >= l[6].start and now() <= l[6].end)
or (now() >= l[7].start and now() <= l[7].end)
or (now() >= l[8].start and now() <= l[8].end)
or (now() >= l[9].start and now() <= l[9].end)
or (now() >= l[10].start and now() <= l[10].end)
or (now() >= l[11].start and now() <= l[11].end) }}
This gives me a binary_sensor for the hours I am looking for. For instance I automate some of the heating in the house based on the 12 cheapest hours. Hope this helps!
Note, you need to install the nordpool custom component: GitHub - custom-components/nordpool: nordpool sensor for ha.

Awesome! I was not aware of the nordpool integration. I wish I had this before december

Hello corvy!
I really like your solution for using Nordpool to fetch the cheapest hours.
I have added this binary_sensor to my own configuration.
There is one problem though.
First I get status ‘off’ for all three sensors, but after a short while (about 1minute max) these turn to status unavailable. The nordpool-integration is running and reporting data correctly though.
Any suggestion for this behaviour?
Home assistant version 2021.12.10
Nice , Works great, lets see tomorrow if the price is right ( for south Sweden region ) , current price looks as “default_sensor” … But i wondered how you got your “Consumption” into it, as i can see it in the app ( with 1 day relay ) , but maybe you have, your own device attached to the Grid-Provider ?
Not sure mate, I would suggest checking logs and config. This setup works just fine 
great, almost what I was looking for. Since this is for heating, I’d prefer looking at say the coming few hours. I would want to heat after the cheapest hour, but not right before. Also, would be interesting to calculate the hours before midnight taking the hours after into account. Found this
but yours is a bit easier to understand. Thanks!

Appreciating you sharing your code. Trying to wrap my head around how to visualize this in the GUI. Any ideas how to make a diagram(time/price) or something similar for the 3 periods?
No, not sure about this. HA is not good at visualizing data for future…
I did this for displaying some information in the GUI:
Badge code:
badges:
- entity: binary_sensor.nordpool_kwh_cheapest_4_hours
card_mod: null
style: |
@keyframes pulse { 70% { opacity: 0; } }
:host {
--card-mod-icon-color: yellow;
animation: pulse 3s infinite;
display:
{% if is_state('binary_sensor.nordpool_kwh_cheapest_4_hours', 'off') %}
none;
{% endif %}
}
Sensor code:
- platform: template
sensors:
nordpool_kwh_cheapest_4_hours:
friendly_name: Strømpris
icon_template: >-
mdi:lightning-bolt
value_template: >-
{% set l=state_attr('sensor.nordpool_kwh_oslo', 'raw_today')|sort(attribute='value') %}

or (now() >= l[1].start and now() <= l[1].end)
or (now() >= l[2].start and now() <= l[2].end)
or (now() >= l[3].start and now() <= l[3].end) }}
attribute_templates:
cost1: >-
{% set l=state_attr('sensor.nordpool_kwh_oslo', 'raw_today')|sort(attribute='value') %}
{{l[0].value}} / {{l[0].start.strftime("%H:%M")}} - {{ l[0].end.strftime("%H:%M")}}
cost2: >-
{% set l=state_attr('sensor.nordpool_kwh_oslo', 'raw_today')|sort(attribute='value') %}
{{l[1].value}} / {{l[1].start.strftime("%H:%M")}} - {{ l[1].end.strftime("%H:%M")}}
cost3: >-
{% set l=state_attr('sensor.nordpool_kwh_oslo', 'raw_today')|sort(attribute='value') %}
{{l[2].value}} / {{l[2].start.strftime("%H:%M")}} - {{ l[2].end.strftime("%H:%M")}}
cost4: >-
{% set l=state_attr('sensor.nordpool_kwh_oslo', 'raw_today')|sort(attribute='value') %}
{{l[3].value}} / {{l[3].start.strftime("%H:%M")}} - {{ l[3].end.strftime("%H:%M")}}
The sensor status for displaying in the GUI is “on” (not “off”, - but had to get it to show in the GUI for gif making)

If anybody is interested in native HA solution using rest api, tibber sensor and apex charts, below is the code:

You need to replace following sensors above:
- [YOUR TIBBER ENERGY USAGE SENSOR] - any sensor really showing your consumption
- [YOUR TIBBER PRICE SENSOR] - regular tibber sensor giving you the price (with mix, max, avg attributes)
