Tibber Monitor

This QuickApp gets todays and tomorrows energy prices and current energy consumption from the Tibber platform.  

Next to the current prices the mimimum, maximum and average prices and percentage +/- related to the average price for today and tomorrow are 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. Colors show the price levels in the labels:
🟢 VERY CHEAP
🟡 CHEAP
🟠 NORMAL
🔴 EXPENSIVE
🟣 VERY EXPENSIVE

 

The Energy Panel is updated with the hourly prices and energy consumption. 
Several languages are supported. 

 

 

Child devices are available for:

• Monthly Production (production in kWh)
• Yearly Production (production in kWh)

• Minimum Today Price (hour and price level in the log text)
• Maximum Today Price (hour and price level in the log text)
• Average Today Price (hour and price level in the log text)

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 perform 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 user's homes is needed you add the appropriate 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. 
Known limitation: In case of the change due to daylight saving time, the 02:00 hour is skipped going to summer, only 23 price values are available

 

Tibber Price levels are based on trailing price average (3 days for hourly values and 30 days for daily values)

• VERY CHEAP - The price is smaller or equal to 60 % compared to average price
• CHEAP - The price is greater than 60 % and smaller or equal to 90 % compared to average price
• NORMAL - The price is greater than 90 % and smaller than 115 % compared to average price
• EXPENSIVE - The price is greater or equal to 115 % and smaller than 140 % compared to average price

Changes version 4.1 (7th January 2025)

• QuickApp struggled with users without energy production. Solved that bug. 

 

Changes version 4.0 (4th January 2025)

• Added Tibber Production values to the labels. 
• Added Production Child devices for: 
  • Hour-1 Production (production of the previous hour)
  • Daily Production (production in kWh)
  • Monthly Production (production in kWh)
  • Yearly Production (production in kWh)
  • Total Production (production in kWh, devicetype com.fibaro.energyMeter and automatic rateType=production for Fibaro Energy Panel)
• Added buttons to filter the labels in Prices, Prices Today, Prices Tomorrow, Consumption, Production and Reset (show all label content). 
• Added nice graphs for today and tomorrow prices with the 🟩🟨🟧🟥🟪 colors. 
• Added nice graphs for energy consumption and production with 🟧🟩 colors. 
• Added QuickApp variable to enable Energy Zero gas prices. 
• Changed the Global Variables percentage to number, so there in no more double quote (''). Please check your scenes if they need any changes!
• Changed the main device to multilevel sensor that shows the current price and level. 
• Changed QuickApp variable token to secret (stored encrypted) for maximum security. 
• Added maximum retries, with exponential backoff and jitter to Tibber API requests. If there is any issue with the connection, the QuickApp will retry some times and if the issue still exists, the QuickApp will disconnect. You will get a notification on your Tibber iOS or Android app. You can re-connect the QuickApp by clicking on the main device. 
• Added extra check for status 'awaiting market'. The QuickApp stops working and the user get an warning message in the debug logging and a message in the labels. 
• Improved the handling of a wrong Home Number. The QuickApp stops working and the user get an error message in the debug logging and a message in the labels. 
• Added check for new QuickApp version. 
• Added more functions for disable quickapp. If the QuickApp is disabled, now also the buttons and fibaro calls are disabled. 
• Added a function to handle dynamic GraphQL Queries or Mutations (from user input with a scene): QuickApp:executeCustomGraphQL(query). The response can be seen in the debug logging. 
• Solved a bug, the average tomorrow price didn't go to zero, when the tomorrow prices aren't yet available. 
• Removed Simulation Mode. If you don't have a working token, you could use a test token from Tibber.
