Primary LanguageShell

About

These script allow you to automatically create plots of the future electricity prices using the Tibber API.

Instructions

  1. Install and configure the official "Terminal & SSH" plugin for Home Assistant

  2. Configure it to install these additional packages:

    • gnuplot
    • jq
    • imagemagick
    • ttf-dejavu

  3. Log into the SSH server on Home Assistant

  4. Clone this repository into /root/share/tibber-plots/

  5. Switch to that directory

  6. Create a file token that contains your Tibber API token

  7. If you run ./make-graph.sh now, it should create a plot prices.svg

  8. Create the folder /root/config/www/plots

  9. Still in tibber-plots/, run ./install-cronjob.sh

  10. If you run /etc/periodic/15min/tibber-pricegraph-cronjob.sh now, it should create a file prices.svg in /root/config/www/plots/

  11. To add the plot to any of your dashboards, create a Generc Camera and use http://127.0.0.1:8123/local/plots/prices.png as the image path.

  12. Create a file ha-token with a long-lived Home Assistant token for the HTTP sensors.

The plots should be updated every 15 minutes. You will have to re-do the install-conjob.sh step every time the SSH container is restarted.
