Supported price sensors

Native support

A large range of price integration are natively supported, including (HACS) Nordpool , Energi Data Service, Entso-e and TGE integrations.

Any integration having an entity with the following attribute(s) is supported.

  • Either having separate attributes for today's and tomorrow's prices, named prices_today and prices_tomorrow or raw_today and raw_tomorrow.
  • Or having a single attribue for both today's and tomorrow's prices, named prices, data or forecast.
  • Prices shall be provided with either the key price or value.
    • The price shall be a float object.
  • Starting time for each price shall be provided with either the key time, start or hour.
    • The format of the starting time shall be a str object using the ISO 8601 format or a datetime object, and shall represent the local time and include time zone information.
  • Price information shall be given either with 15 minutes or with 60 minutes intervals.

Using template sensor

A template sensor can be used together with price integrations that does not have native support.

This can either be the case when the price information is provided as an action, e.g., the Home Assistant native Nord Pool integration.

Or the price information might be provided in an unusual way such as when using forecast data with Energy Data Service.

When creating a template sensor, it's recommended to design the template so that the output follows the Generic price format.
