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. IMPORTANT This QuickApp needs the Tibber Monitor QuickApp (THE NEW QUARTER-HOURLY VERSION) to run on your HC3. 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.

Changes version 2.0 (14th September 2025) QUARTER-HOURLY PRICES: Adjusted the Tibber Trigger QuickApp to the quarter-hourly prices. Tibber Trigger doesn't use the Tibber Monitor childs anymore, but now uses two Tibber Monitor global variables, one for all the today prices and one for all the tomorrow prices. Added lots of small improvements, like: Extra: at midnight when the timeslot is running, tomorrow prices change to today prices and today prices change to yesterday prices. Added extra handling of existance of the global variables for today en tomorrow prices. Added the date of the last price check to the labels. Added a new QuickApp variable showTax. If true then the prices will include all taxes (default = true), otherwise without taxes. Changes version 1.1 (15th January 2025) Changed the maximum durationHours to 24 hours (it was 23 hours) Added start and end time to the log text Changes version 1.0 (20th June 2024) Added two global variables for the time ON and time OFF. To use them, set the QuickApp variable setGlobalVar to true. Added an extra check at midnight if the timeslot doesn't goes through midnight (timeSlotStart < timeSlotEnd) to transfer the tomorrow prices to todays prices (after midnight) Solved a bug with a timeslot starting at the next day 23:00. Changed the label layout in case the prices aren't available yet. Changed the time tomorrow prices calculations will take place to hh:mm:ss in stead of "13:00 (+310 seconds)" Changes version 0.3 (19th March 2024) Solved a small bug when timeslot end was greater than 23 hours Changes version 0.2 (15th February 2024) Optimized calculations and turnOn/TurnOff Added translations for Dutch (nl), German (de), Swedish (se) and Norwegian (no) Initial (beta) version 0.1 (11th February 2024) Initial beta version Download the QuickApp here: Tibber_Trigger-21.fqax or from the Fibaro Marketplace: https://marketplace.fibaro.com/items/tibber-trigger How to install Open the Configuration Interface Go to Settings > Devices Click + Choose Other Device Choose Upload File Choose file from your computer with .fqax And enter the Tibber Monitor devicenumber in the tibberMain quickApp variable.

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.
