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 18:00 and duration 7 hours, the calculation can be made from 13:00 hour when the tomorrow prices are available. At 04:00 the binary switch will turn ON and at 07:00 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 to run on your HC3. It is important to synchonise this QuickApp with the timing of your Tibber Monitor QuickApp. This QuickApp works at its best, if you setup the interval with the intervalOffset just after the Tibber Monitor runs. If you Tibber Monitor runs at 5 minutes (300 seconds) after the whole hour, run this QuickApp 5 minutes and 10 seconds (310 seconds) after the whole hour to be sure to get the prices from Tibber Monitor. This QuickApp runs every whole hour to turn the switch on and off. If it is time to get the prices from the Tibber Monitor QuickApp, this QuickApp runs every whole hour plus the seconds set in the intervalOffset.

Hello, I wish to use a binary switch as a push button. So when I press the switch becomes active (green) and after 5 seconds it automatically turns off again (red). Can someone help me improve this code. A universal binary switch with adjustable shutdown time would be a useful addition as a quickapp. This code works, but without delay. function QuickApp:turnOn() self:debug("binary switch turned on") self:updateProperty("value", true) print "hello" -- here some time delay code??? hub.scene('execute', {[1] = 433, }) self:debug("binary switch turned off") self:updateProperty("value", false) end Thanks.
