Common Issues

Too many open connections on this server: 2;

The quickest way to fix the "Too many open connections on this server" issue is just to generate a new Tibber Access Token and start the container again (remember to set the new token in the TIBBER_TOKEN variable).

Advanced Options

Specify homeID

By default this container will fetch the first home id from Tibber and use it. If you want to specify the home id you first have to find it.

Go to https://developer.tibber.com/explorer
Make sure you are signed in.
Click "Load Personal Token"
From the dropdown to the right choose "Real time subscriptions"
You can now see your homeId in the GraphiQL code.

Then you can use the env variable TIBBER_HOMEID when you run the container:

-e TIBBER_HOMEID="aaaaaaaaaaa-aaaa-aaaa-aaaaaaaaaa" \
