Steering on dynamic energy rates

[Durz. 1]

Our heat pump and FIBARO HC3 are connected via a Smart Grid contact. SG-Ready = 24V on/off potential-free contact that can be activated by a one-sided control (blind control) of the HC3.

Goal:

The idea is to find the lowest prices of the day via the HC3 and control the Smart Grid free contact at those times. At a high electricity price you can block the operation of the heat pump.

The sensor from the energy supplier shows the current electricity price. HC3 and the App,from the energy supplier are connected to each other.

Can you give an example of how we create a flow like with the data from the energy supplier and control the heat pump 'smartly'. The energy rates for the next day are announced at 04.00 pm.

@Durz. Use Tibber Monitor and Tibber Trigger quickapps and you are ready (for the cheapest prices).

Tibber answers: We currently do not have an integration with Fibaro, so you will have to create a flow with our data yourself.

You need to download the Tibber Monitor quickapp. You can download it overhere:

or on the Fibaro Marketplace overhere: 

Please login or register to see this link.

If you have the Tibber Monitor running (you need to set it up) you will get the today and tomorrow prices from Tibber in your HC3.

 

 

 

 

 

Then you have to install the Tibber Trigger quickapp. You can download it overhere: 

or on the Fibaro Marketplace overhere:

With the Tibber Trigger quickapp you can get the cheapest hours from the Tibber Monitor, so you can trigger your appliances at the cheapest hours.
