Tibber Monitor

This QuickApp gets todays and tomorrows energy prices and energy consumption from the Tibber platform. 
Next to the current prices the lowest, highest and average price for the next hours is calculated.
Tax and extra cost (cable owner) are included in the hourly, daily, monthly, yearly and total cost.  
All values are displayed in the labels.

To communicate with the API you need to acquire a OAuth access token and pass this along with every request passed to the server.
A Personal Access Token give you access to your data and your data only. 
This is ideal for DIY people that want to leverage the Tibber platform to extend the smartness of their home. 
Such a token can be acquired here: https://developer.tibber.com

 

When creating your access token or OAuth client you’ll be asked which scopes you want the access token to be associated with. 
These scopes tells the API which data and operations the client is allowed to perfom on the user’s behalf. 

The scopes your app requires depend on the type of data it is trying to request. 
If you for example need access to user information you add the USER scope. 

If information about the users homes is needed you add the appropiate HOME scopes.

 

Tomorrow values are available from 13:00 hour

If you have more than one home in your subscription, you need to fill in your home number the change between your homes.

Changes version 2.0 (25th May 2022)

• Changed the device for the energy panel from the Daily Energy to the Total Energy child device. Because Tibber reports always the past hour at the start of the new hour (so always too late) and the Energy panel and the Daily Energy child devices both resets at midnight and the Total Energy child device doesn't resets, that prevents the last hour from not getting into the energy panel. Thanks to @JcBorgs for analysing and testing. 
• Added workaround with the help of @JcBorgs for a Tibber API bug in 00-01 hour consumption (energy and cost can change to "null" during the day) 
• Added workaround for empty Tibber responses between 00:00 and 00:05 hour with help of @JcBorgs
• Added insert of hour-1 price in Energy Panel (can be turned on or off) with help of @JcBorgs
• Changed the name of all child devices Percentage to dynamic names like "At hour 16:00", "At hour 17:00", etc. with  help of @jgab and @JcBorgs
• Changed handling of no response from Tibber
• Removed user defined icon (not necessary anymore)
