Custom tariff support #77
Comments
Unfortunately I don't think this would be possible without some cooperation from Ohme, as there doesn't seem to be a way to feed live information in for a custom tarrif. My approach for automating it would be to delete all schedules so the charger is effectively always offering power, then make the following automations:
Its not the most elegant solution but with the current state of the API, I can't see any other way. |
My solution to this was to create a new custom tariff in the Ohme app, with two rates - one for 12:00-00:00, and another rate for 00:00-12:00. At 12:00, I would set the 00:00-12:00 rate to tomorrow's price, and the 12:00-00:00 rate to today's rate. That way when I plugged my car in (generally in the evening), it would start charging immediately if today's rate was cheaper, or wait til midnight if tomorrow was cheaper. I did this using my own code, but the API calls were fairly straight forward - you just need to create a custom tariff (I did this in the Ohme app), then a call to |
Are you willing to share your code for this? |
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Ohme doesn't support Octopus Tracker, only their other tariffs, which means that I can't use the price cap feature.
Describe the solution you'd like
The Octopus integration already provides the current rate (
octopus_energy_electricity_***_***_current_rate
). Would it be possible to have the Ohme integration pull these values at midnight and update the £/kWh value in a custom tariff?Describe alternatives you've considered
I have tried asking Ohme to add Octopus Tracker to their list of tariffs and they refused.
