Period data in array_of_arrays format now generates proper segment structure
for stepline charts. Each period produces 2-3 data points depending on
insert_nulls parameter:
1. Start time with price (begin period)
2. End time with price (hold price level)
3. End time with NULL (terminate segment, only if insert_nulls='segments'/'all')
This enables ApexCharts to correctly display periods as continuous blocks with
clean gaps between them. Previously only start point was generated, causing
periods to render as single points instead of continuous segments.
Changes:
- formatters.py: Updated get_period_data() to generate 2-3 points per period
- formatters.py: Added insert_nulls parameter to control NULL termination
- get_chartdata.py: Pass insert_nulls parameter to get_period_data()
- get_apexcharts_yaml.py: Set insert_nulls='segments' for period overlay
- get_apexcharts_yaml.py: Preserve NULL values in data_generator mapping
- get_apexcharts_yaml.py: Store original price for potential tooltip access
- tests: Added comprehensive period data format tests
Impact: Best price and peak price period overlays now display correctly as
continuous blocks with proper segment separation in ApexCharts cards.
Add dynamic rolling window mode to get_chartdata and get_apexcharts_yaml
services that automatically adapts to data availability.
When 'day' parameter is omitted, services return 48-hour window:
- With tomorrow data (after ~13:00): today + tomorrow
- Without tomorrow data: yesterday + today
Changes:
- Implement rolling window logic in get_chartdata using has_tomorrow_data()
- Generate config-template-card wrapper in get_apexcharts_yaml for dynamic
ApexCharts span.offset based on tomorrow_data_available binary sensor
- Update service descriptions in services.yaml
- Add rolling window descriptions to all translations (de, en, nb, nl, sv)
- Document rolling window mode in docs/user/services.md
- Add ApexCharts examples with prerequisites in docs/user/automation-examples.md
BREAKING CHANGE: get_apexcharts_yaml rolling window mode requires
config-template-card in addition to apexcharts-card for dynamic offset
calculation.
Impact: Users can create auto-adapting 48h price charts without manual day
selection. Fixed day views (day: today/yesterday/tomorrow) still work with
apexcharts-card only.
Simplifies the connect_segments implementation to use a unified bridge-point
approach for all price transitions (up/down/same). Previously used
direction-dependent logic (hold vs connect points) which was unnecessarily
complex.
Changes:
- get_chartdata.py: Bridge points now always use next interval's price at
boundary timestamp, creating smooth visual connection between segments
- get_chartdata.py: Trailing NULL removal now conditional on insert_nulls mode
('segments' removes for header fix, 'all' preserves intentional gaps)
- get_apexcharts_yaml.py: Enable connect_segments by default, activate
show_states for header min/max display
- get_apexcharts_yaml.py: Remove extrema series (not compatible with
data_generator approach - ApexCharts requires entity time-series data)
- tests: Move test_connect_segments.py to tests/services/ to mirror source
structure
Impact: ApexCharts cards now show clean visual connections between price level
segments with proper header statistics display. Trailing NULLs no longer cause
"N/A" in headers for filtered data. Test organization improved for
maintainability.
Renamed service modules for consistency with service identifiers:
- apexcharts.py → get_apexcharts_yaml.py
- chartdata.py → get_chartdata.py
- Added: get_price.py (new service module)
Naming convention: Module names now match service names directly
(tibber_prices.get_apexcharts_yaml → get_apexcharts_yaml.py)
Impact: Improved code organization, easier to locate service implementations.
No functional changes.
Added new service for fetching historical/future price data:
- fetch_price_info_range: Query prices for arbitrary date ranges
- Supports start_time and end_time parameters
- Returns structured price data via service response
- Uses interval pool for efficient data retrieval
Service definition:
- services.yaml: Added fetch_price_info_range with date selectors
- services/__init__.py: Implemented handler with validation
- Response format: {"priceInfo": [...], "currency": "..."}
Schema updates:
- config_flow_handlers/schemas.py: Convert days slider to IntSelector
(was NumberSelector with float, caused "2.0 Tage" display issue)
Impact: Users can fetch price data for custom date ranges programmatically.
Config flow displays clean integer values for day offsets.
Changed from centralized main+subentry coordinator pattern to independent
coordinators per home. Each config entry now manages its own home data
with its own API client and access token.
Architecture changes:
- API Client: async_get_price_info() changed from home_ids: set[str] to home_id: str
* Removed GraphQL alias pattern (home0, home1, ...)
* Single-home query structure without aliasing
* Simplified response parsing (viewer.home instead of viewer.home0)
- Coordinator: Removed main/subentry distinction
* Deleted is_main_entry() and _has_existing_main_coordinator()
* Each coordinator fetches its own data independently
* Removed _find_main_coordinator() and _get_configured_home_ids()
* Simplified _async_update_data() - no subentry logic
* Added _home_id instance variable from config_entry.data
- __init__.py: New _get_access_token() helper
* Handles token retrieval for both parent and subentries
* Subentries find parent entry to get shared access token
* Creates single API client instance per coordinator
- Data structures: Flat single-home format
* Old: {"homes": {home_id: {"price_info": [...]}}}
* New: {"home_id": str, "price_info": [...], "currency": str}
* Attribute name: "periods" → "pricePeriods" (consistent with priceInfo)
- helpers.py: Removed get_configured_home_ids() (no longer needed)
* parse_all_timestamps() updated for single-home structure
Impact: Each home operates independently with its own lifecycle tracking,
caching, and period calculations. Simpler architecture, easier debugging,
better isolation between homes.
- Introduced `get_intervals_for_day_offsets` helper to streamline access to price intervals for yesterday, today, and tomorrow.
- Updated various components to replace direct access to `priceInfo` with the new helper, ensuring a flat structure for price intervals.
- Adjusted calculations and data processing methods to accommodate the new data structure.
- Enhanced documentation to reflect changes in caching strategy and data structure.
Introduce TimeService as single source of truth for all datetime operations,
replacing direct dt_util calls throughout the codebase. This establishes
consistent time context across update cycles and enables future time-travel
testing capability.
Core changes:
- NEW: coordinator/time_service.py with timezone-aware datetime API
- Coordinator now creates TimeService per update cycle, passes to calculators
- Timer callbacks (#2, #3) inject TimeService into entity update flow
- All sensor calculators receive TimeService via coordinator reference
- Attribute builders accept time parameter for timestamp calculations
Key patterns replaced:
- dt_util.now() → time.now() (single reference time per cycle)
- dt_util.parse_datetime() + as_local() → time.get_interval_time()
- Manual interval arithmetic → time.get_interval_offset_time()
- Manual day boundaries → time.get_day_boundaries()
- round_to_nearest_quarter_hour() → time.round_to_nearest_quarter()
Import cleanup:
- Removed dt_util imports from ~30 files (calculators, attributes, utils)
- Restricted dt_util to 3 modules: time_service.py (operations), api/client.py
(rate limiting), entity_utils/icons.py (cosmetic updates)
- datetime/timedelta only for TYPE_CHECKING (type hints) or duration arithmetic
Interval resolution abstraction:
- Removed hardcoded MINUTES_PER_INTERVAL constant from 10+ files
- New methods: time.minutes_to_intervals(), time.get_interval_duration()
- Supports future 60-minute resolution (legacy data) via TimeService config
Timezone correctness:
- API timestamps (startsAt) already localized by data transformation
- TimeService operations preserve HA user timezone throughout
- DST transitions handled via get_expected_intervals_for_day() (future use)
Timestamp ordering preserved:
- Attribute builders generate default timestamp (rounded quarter)
- Sensors override when needed (next interval, daily midnight, etc.)
- Platform ensures timestamp stays FIRST in attribute dict
Timer integration:
- Timer #2 (quarter-hour): Creates TimeService, calls _handle_time_sensitive_update(time)
- Timer #3 (30-second): Creates TimeService, calls _handle_minute_update(time)
- Consistent time reference for all entities in same update batch
Time-travel readiness:
- TimeService.with_reference_time() enables time injection (not yet used)
- All calculations use time.now() → easy to simulate past/future states
- Foundation for debugging period calculations with historical data
Impact: Eliminates timestamp drift within update cycles (previously 60+ independent
dt_util.now() calls could differ by milliseconds). Establishes architecture for
time-based testing and debugging features.
