Has anyone in PG&E territory been able to figure out if they have a pattern for billing cycle length, or is it variable each month at “random”? I’m trying to get a monthly utility meter of measured usage synced with my billing cycle, but I can’t determine a pattern to reset the meter. Cycles are anywhere from 29-32 days. Right now I’m resetting it whenever the current bill usage from OPower resets to 0, but I’m wondering if there’s a better way?
For anyone who comes looking for this later on, I was able to figure this out using the opower integration. Opower has two entities for start and end date of billing cycle for both eletric and gas. I created one automation to create calendar events whenever the start date changes. Then I created another automation to reset the appropriate tariffs when the events end.
