I followed some guides to setup utility meter. All appears well, I have created two tariffs for peak and off-peak (here they are called daily and nightly rate) and I have created an automation via node-red to switch from one to the other at a given time with the help of BigTimer node.
In the main select helper, everything seems fine, the switch from night to day happens at 06:00 am. However, after that both night and day continue to track the energy, it is as if only day tariff was turned on at 6, but night was not turned off. Any ideas?
Here is my main electricity select, it switched fine at 06:00:
Here is the call service that changes the select from day/night/day based on a trigger from big timer. I have used this thread for inspiration: Utility Meter integration nodered automation
The night tariff sensor is not increasing during the day. Though it is hard to see as you blocked most of the graph with the tool-tip box.
It stays at the value it was just before the day tariff started accumulating.
I don’t think you’re reading that right, the bars in the energy graph is the consumption during that hour. So there shouldn’t be any night bars visible during the daytime hours.
It is increasing, in fact night tariff doubles the day one. The total consumption is also doubled on what it should be.
I have monthly reset of the utility meter (though, I don’t know where can I check that, but this is what I remember during the setup), the change at midnight was me manually testing the node red node.
I have restarted home assistant just in case. To my surprise, it seems to have resolved the problem. I did the restart at 4:20 my time and after that the night tariff flatlined, the day tariff is much larger in the Energy dashboard and I am pretty confident that in the next hour the night one will drop to 0.
Is there anyway I can check that?
