Utility Meter Tariff for Spot Pricing

Configuration
1

Hi,

I am on spot pricing for my electricity, which means the rate changes based on demand, and the rate can change up to every 30 minutes.

I have a REST API sensor that displays my current rate in the front end already.

What I’m wondering is, is there a way to use the utility meter along with this to work out my electricity costs. Sort of dynamic tariffs and tariff amounts.

Thanks!

Can’t you just set up a template sensor using the REST API’s information as it’s source, and then feed that sensor into the tariff definition?

Hey Martin,

They way I currently understand tariffs is that you can have things like ‘peak’ or ‘off peak’ which is the same every day. With my setup, the price changes every 30 minutes, and may not be the same price 8am tomorrow for instance.

Or how would I go about feeding my current spot pricing into the tariff?

Thanks!

Did you ever figure out your tariff. I have similar issue where the price changes if go over a certain block of kWh tier. I would like to view your sample and see if I can alter to fit my situation.
