Impact: Users gain a clearer understanding of price patterns and their implications for automation.
docs(glossary): update V-Shaped Day definition for clarity
Revised the definition of V-Shaped Day to include U-Shaped Day as an informal term, emphasizing the classification as 'valley' by the Day Pattern sensor.
Impact: Users receive a more comprehensive explanation of price day classifications.
docs(period-calculation): improve algorithm overview and phase descriptions
Added detailed explanations for each phase of the period calculation algorithm, including visual aids and clarifications on the importance of each phase.
Impact: Users can better understand the underlying logic of price period calculations.
docs(sensors-price-phases): refine sensor descriptions for clarity
Updated descriptions of price phase sensors to clarify the shapes and conditions they represent, including distinctions between V-shaped and U-shaped curves.
Impact: Users benefit from improved clarity on sensor classifications and their applications in automations.

refactor(docs): restructure navigation and split large pages
...
Split sensors.md (1,693 lines) into 7 focused pages:
- sensors-overview: binary sensors, core price, min/max, diagnostics
- sensors-average: median/mean, automation examples, key attributes
- sensors-ratings-levels: 3-level ratings + 5-level system
- sensors-volatility: CV formula, 4 sensors, configuration
- sensors-trends: outlook, trajectory, current/next, decision guide
- sensors-timing: period timing state diagram + examples
- sensors-energy-tax: energy/tax breakdown + use cases
Extract relaxation deep-dive from period-calculation.md into
dedicated period-relaxation.md. Remove duplicate ApexCharts section
from automation-examples.md (cross-references chart-examples.md).
Reorganize sidebar into semantic categories:
- Sensors (7 pages), Price Periods (2), Dashboards & Charts (4),
Reference (sensor-reference + actions)
Update all cross-references across 10 pages, EntitySearch DOC_NAMES,
and generator template for new page slugs.
Impact: Users can find information faster with shorter, focused pages
and a clearer navigation structure. No content was removed — only
reorganized and deduplicated.

docs: explain how to find the config entry_id
...
Added a dedicated 'Finding Your Entry ID' section to actions.md
explaining the two workflows: dropdown in the Action UI vs.
'Copy Config Entry ID' from the integration's three-dot menu in YAML.
Added matching :::info callouts to chart-examples.md and
automation-examples.md where entry_id: YOUR_ENTRY_ID appears in code
examples, and a new 'Config Entry ID' entry in the glossary.
Addresses user confusion reported in GitHub Discussions #94 .
Impact: Users no longer get stuck on YOUR_ENTRY_ID placeholders.
Both GUI and YAML workflows are clearly explained at the point of need.

refactor(currency)!: rename major/minor to base/subunit currency terminology
...
Complete terminology migration from confusing "major/minor" to clearer
"base/subunit" currency naming throughout entire codebase, translations,
documentation, tests, and services.
BREAKING CHANGES:
1. **Service API Parameters Renamed**:
- `get_chartdata`: `minor_currency` → `subunit_currency`
- `get_apexcharts_yaml`: Updated service_data references from
`minor_currency: true` to `subunit_currency: true`
- All automations/scripts using these parameters MUST be updated
2. **Configuration Option Key Changed**:
- Config entry option: Display mode setting now uses new terminology
- Internal key: `currency_display_mode` values remain "base"/"subunit"
- User-facing labels updated in all 5 languages (de, en, nb, nl, sv)
3. **Sensor Entity Key Renamed**:
- `current_interval_price_major` → `current_interval_price_base`
- Entity ID changes: `sensor.tibber_home_current_interval_price_major`
→ `sensor.tibber_home_current_interval_price_base`
- Energy Dashboard configurations MUST update entity references
4. **Function Signatures Changed**:
- `format_price_unit_major()` → `format_price_unit_base()`
- `format_price_unit_minor()` → `format_price_unit_subunit()`
- `get_price_value()`: Parameter `in_euro` deprecated in favor of
`config_entry` (backward compatible for now)
5. **Translation Keys Renamed**:
- All language files: Sensor translation key
`current_interval_price_major` → `current_interval_price_base`
- Service parameter descriptions updated in all languages
- Selector options updated: Display mode dropdown values
Changes by Category:
**Core Code (Python)**:
- const.py: Renamed all format_price_unit_*() functions, updated docstrings
- entity_utils/helpers.py: Updated get_price_value() with config-driven
conversion and backward-compatible in_euro parameter
- sensor/__init__.py: Added display mode filtering for base currency sensor
- sensor/core.py:
* Implemented suggested_display_precision property for dynamic decimal places
* Updated native_unit_of_measurement to use get_display_unit_string()
* Updated all price conversion calls to use config_entry parameter
- sensor/definitions.py: Renamed entity key and updated all
suggested_display_precision values (2 decimals for most sensors)
- sensor/calculators/*.py: Updated all price conversion calls (8 calculators)
- sensor/helpers.py: Updated aggregate_price_data() signature with config_entry
- sensor/attributes/future.py: Updated future price attributes conversion
**Services**:
- services/chartdata.py: Renamed parameter minor_currency → subunit_currency
throughout (53 occurrences), updated metadata calculation
- services/apexcharts.py: Updated service_data references in generated YAML
- services/formatters.py: Renamed parameter use_minor_currency →
use_subunit_currency in aggregate_hourly_exact() and get_period_data()
- sensor/chart_metadata.py: Updated default parameter name
**Translations (5 Languages)**:
- All /translations/*.json:
* Added new config step "display_settings" with comprehensive explanations
* Renamed current_interval_price_major → current_interval_price_base
* Updated service parameter descriptions (subunit_currency)
* Added selector.currency_display_mode.options with translated labels
- All /custom_translations/*.json:
* Renamed sensor description keys
* Updated chart_metadata usage_tips references
**Documentation**:
- docs/user/docs/actions.md: Updated parameter table and feature list
- docs/user/versioned_docs/version-v0.21.0/actions.md: Backported changes
**Tests**:
- Updated 7 test files with renamed parameters and conversion logic:
* test_connect_segments.py: Renamed minor/major to subunit/base
* test_period_data_format.py: Updated period price conversion tests
* test_avg_none_fallback.py: Fixed tuple unpacking for new return format
* test_best_price_e2e.py: Added config_entry parameter to all calls
* test_cache_validity.py: Fixed cache data structure (price_info key)
* test_coordinator_shutdown.py: Added repair_manager mock
* test_midnight_turnover.py: Added config_entry parameter
* test_peak_price_e2e.py: Added config_entry parameter, fixed price_avg → price_mean
* test_percentage_calculations.py: Added config_entry mock
**Coordinator/Period Calculation**:
- coordinator/periods.py: Added config_entry parameter to
calculate_periods_with_relaxation() calls (2 locations)
Migration Guide:
1. **Update Service Calls in Automations/Scripts**:
\`\`\`yaml
# Before:
service: tibber_prices.get_chartdata
data:
minor_currency: true
# After:
service: tibber_prices.get_chartdata
data:
subunit_currency: true
\`\`\`
2. **Update Energy Dashboard Configuration**:
- Settings → Dashboards → Energy
- Replace sensor entity:
`sensor.tibber_home_current_interval_price_major` →
`sensor.tibber_home_current_interval_price_base`
3. **Review Integration Configuration**:
- Settings → Devices & Services → Tibber Prices → Configure
- New "Currency Display Settings" step added
- Default mode depends on currency (EUR → subunit, Scandinavian → base)
Rationale:
The "major/minor" terminology was confusing and didn't clearly communicate:
- **Major** → Unclear if this means "primary" or "large value"
- **Minor** → Easily confused with "less important" rather than "smaller unit"
New terminology is precise and self-explanatory:
- **Base currency** → Standard ISO currency (€, kr, $, £)
- **Subunit currency** → Fractional unit (ct, øre, ¢, p)
This aligns with:
- International terminology (ISO 4217 standard)
- Banking/financial industry conventions
- User expectations from payment processing systems
Impact: Aligns currency terminology with international standards. Users must
update service calls, automations, and Energy Dashboard configuration after
upgrade.
