Type Quick App

THIS IS THE NEW QUARTER-HOURLY VERSION

This QuickApp calculates the cheapest prices for using appliances based on the hourly Tibber energy prices. 
This QuickApp is especially useful for appliances (like charging your car and washing the dishes) that need to run once a day, within a timeframe and during some hours. 
You can use more than one instance of this QuickApp if you need more than one appliance to start in the cheapest hour but not within the same timeslot. 

 

Tibber today and tomorrow prices
The tomorrow prices are available from 13:00 hour. 
If the tomorrow prices aren't available yet and the timeslot is (partially) tomorrow, a temporary calculation and start-stop plan is made with the today prices, until the tomorrow prices are available. 
If the start time plus duration is (partially) tomorrow, for example start time 22:00 and duration 2 hours, the calculation can be made from 13:00 hour when the tomorrow prices are available.

At 22:00 the binary switch will turn ON and at 00:00 the binary switch will turn OFF. 

You would still have to create a script, triggers by this binary switch, to actually turn on the charging of your car, or turn on the dishwasher. 

 

IMPORTANT
This QuickApp needs the Tibber Monitor QuickApp (THE NEW QUARTER-HOURLY VERSION) to run on your HC3. It is important to synchronise this QuickApp with the timing of your Tibber Monitor QuickApp.

Counting down to the 1st of October for the quarter hourly energy prices…

The new Tibber Trigger QuickApp version 2.0 is available. This version contains the new QUARTER-HOURLY prices. The new quarter-hourly prices will start at the 1st of October, but they already work in this QuickApp, so you have time to update your Homecenter and scenes.

So Tibber Trigger will have to handle quarter prices. Tibber Trigger uses the hourly child devices of the Tibber Monitor quickapp. The Tibber Monitor quickapp will change. The child devices of Tibber Monitor will probably be replaced by a different solution.

In June 2025, the European energy exchanges will introduce quarterly prices. This simply means that energy will be traded per quarter instead of per hour - a change that will make the energy market even more flexible and dynamic. This adjustment is the result of new European regulations to become the new standard.  This not only means that electricity prices will reflect the actual situation even better, but also that it will be easier to match supply and demand. This in turn will ensure better use of green energy and thus save costs. Good news for your energy bill! This development also stimulates innovation in the energy sector. Think of home batteries that will soon be able to respond even more precisely to the most favourable moments to store energy. As soon as Tibber has the documentation, Tibber Trigger will adapt to the new quarterly prices.
