Add a dedicated type-check-tests helper, wire it into check-all behind --with-test-types, and align the affected tests with current typing and helper contracts.
Impact: No direct user-facing change.
User-Impact: none
Recompute merged relaxed periods from raw intervals, harden numeric period option normalization, update day-volatility handling for zero or negative averages, and expose day context on period binary sensors.
Add focused regressions for overlap merges, cache invalidation, day statistics, and visible binary sensor attributes.
Impact: Best and peak period entities stay consistent on negative-price days, refresh correctly when same-day prices change, and expose the documented day context attributes.
Always treat prices at or below zero as valid best-price intervals, rescue short
negative cores with directly adjacent cheap shoulders before min-length filtering,
and block geometric or shape-based widening for periods that already contain a
negative-price core.
Impact: Negative best-price periods no longer expand into positive edge intervals on days with extreme negative prices.
Introduce a new settings file to define permissions for various script executions.
Impact: Enables controlled execution of linting, type-checking, and testing scripts.
Accepts battery parameters (capacity, current/target SoC, max power) and
returns a cost-minimized charging schedule with per-interval power, SoC
progression, and total cost — no manual duration calculation needed.
Supports fixed, continuous (min_charge_power_w), and stepped
(charge_power_steps_w) charging modes, deadline-aware two-pass planning
(must_reach_soc + must_reach_by / must_reach_by_event), and round-trip
economics (expected_discharge_price, reserve_for_discharge,
max_cost_per_kwh) for arbitrage use cases. Includes min_charge_duration
and max_cycles_per_day constraints.
Groups deadline fields (must_reach_soc_*, must_reach_by,
must_reach_by_event) into a dedicated section so a deadline use case can
be configured in one place. Battery section lists capacity before the
percent SoC fields that depend on it. Response exposes stable reason
codes (already_at_target, energy_unreachable, energy_unreachable_by_
deadline, no_intervals_after_economic_filter, …) documented in the
service description and user docs.
automation-examples.md:
- Add info callout blocks with "Blueprint available" badges and
one-click import links for each appliance section (dishwasher,
washing machine, dryer, EV charging, pipeline)
- Update YAML examples to reflect current service API (remove
relaxation_applied template, fix indentation)
sensor-reference.md:
- Remove stale data-refs attributes from current_price_trend,
next_price_trend_change, and today_volatility anchors
examples/:
- Add examples/scripts/ directory with placeholder for
tibber_notify_residents.yaml script example
User-Impact: none
Bundle automation and script blueprints into the integration and
install them automatically at HA startup via _install_blueprints().
Remove them cleanly when the last config entry is removed.
Automation blueprints (standalone):
- dishwasher, washing_machine, dryer — smart plug and Home Connect
variants (HC: door/remote-start sensors; HC Alt: program selector)
Automation blueprints (pipeline):
- laundry_day_pipeline — chains washer → dryer for multiple loads,
HC and HC Alt variants
Other automation blueprints:
- ev_charging, heat_pump_price_level, heat_pump_smart_boost,
home_battery, water_heater, laundry_day_pipeline (smart plug)
Script blueprint:
- notify_residents — presence-aware dispatcher for up to 10 residents
with auto-discovered mobile_app notify services, iOS/Android push
settings, and per-resident notify overrides
Notification UX across all blueprints:
- Apple Watch-optimised titles (~25 chars) and messages (most
important info first, middle-dot separators, emoji anchors)
- Customisable notification titles via blueprint inputs (standalone)
- Comma-separated notify services for simple multi-target delivery
- Advanced script path for presence filtering and platform push data
Impact: Users get ready-to-use blueprints installed automatically
with the integration for scheduling appliances during cheap Tibber
price windows. No manual import required.
Read the version field from manifest.json at import time via a new
INTEGRATION_VERSION constant in const.py. Pass it as sw_version to
DeviceInfo in TibberPricesEntity so the current integration version
is visible in the HA device registry.
Impact: Device page in HA now shows the installed integration version
under firmware/software version.
Add entity_resolver module that lets all service parameters accept
HA entity references in place of literal values. The entity's current
state (or a specific attribute via the @attr syntax) is resolved at
call time and coerced to the expected Python type.
Syntax:
"sensor.washing_duration" → uses entity state
"sensor.washing_duration@run_minutes" → uses entity attribute
Apply or_entity_ref() and resolve_entity_references() to all five
service handlers (get_price, find_cheapest_block, find_cheapest_hours,
find_cheapest_schedule, get_chartdata) for every parameter where a
dynamic value from another entity is useful (duration, start/end times,
offsets, etc.).
Add five new translation keys for entity-resolution error messages
(invalid_entity_reference, entity_not_found, entity_attribute_not_found,
entity_state_unavailable, entity_value_conversion_failed) across all
five language files.
Fix pytest warning filter to suppress AsyncMock cleanup noise, and
update test_resource_cleanup to mock hass.config_entries.async_entries
so the blueprint-removal path in async_remove_entry does not raise.
Impact: Automations and scripts can pass sensor entity IDs as service
parameters (e.g. duration from a sensor) instead of having to use
template-based workarounds.
Replace workaround recommendations (2× find_cheapest_block) with the
new sequential: true parameter. Rewrite washer→dryer example as a single
find_cheapest_schedule call. Update quick reference tables.
Release-Notes: skip
When sequential: true, tasks are placed in declaration order instead of
being sorted by duration. Each task's search window starts after the
previous task ends (plus gap_minutes). If a task cannot be placed, all
subsequent tasks in the chain are also marked unscheduled.
Adds 12 tests covering ordering, chaining, gap enforcement, and
chain-breaking behavior.
Impact: Users can now schedule dependent appliances (e.g., washing
machine → dryer) in a single find_cheapest_schedule call with guaranteed
order, instead of chaining two find_cheapest_block calls.
Updated the dishwasher automation to include planning and execution steps using input_datetime helpers for better reliability across restarts. Clarified the use of find_cheapest_schedule for independent appliances and added caution regarding task order. Improved messaging in notifications for planned schedules.
Impact: Users can now schedule appliances more reliably, ensuring planned start times persist through Home Assistant restarts.
docs(sidebars): rename automation section for clarity
Changed the sidebar label from '🤖 Automations' to '🤖 Automations & Usage' to better reflect the content and improve user navigation.
Impact: Users will find it easier to locate automation-related documentation.
Removed unnecessary sections from the get_apexcharts_yaml service and added new fields for search tuning and cost estimation in chartdata services. This improves the clarity and usability of the service definitions.
Impact: Users will benefit from a more concise and organized service structure, enhancing the overall experience.
The old extension algorithm extended a single late-evening period forward
past midnight by appending qualifying intervals one-directionally. This
caused false extensions (e.g. peak 19:45–21:30 extended to 01:00 by
pulling in 14 declining-price intervals).
Replace with bidirectional bridging: two independently qualifying periods
on both sides of midnight are merged only when separated by a small gap
(≤4 intervals = 1 hour) and the combined period passes the CV quality
gate (≤25%). A period ending well before midnight is no longer touched.
User-Impact: none
Implement a new service that progressively relaxes user-defined filters to ensure a result is always returned when price data is available. This includes three phases: halving the minimum distance from average, expanding level filters, and reducing duration.
Impact: Users will receive results even when strict filters would otherwise yield no matches, improving the reliability of scheduling actions.
feat(pricing): enhance scheduling actions with new parameters
Introduce new parameters `smooth_outliers`, `min_distance_from_avg`, and `allow_relaxation` to scheduling actions, allowing for better control over price selection and ensuring results are meaningfully different from average prices.
Impact: Users can now fine-tune their scheduling actions to avoid marginal savings and ensure more uniform pricing within selected windows.
docs(scheduling): update documentation for new features
Revise the scheduling actions documentation to include new parameters and their effects, such as outlier smoothing and minimum distance from average, along with examples for better user understanding.
Impact: Users will have clearer guidance on how to utilize new features effectively in their automations.
test(scheduling): add tests for new relaxation logic
Implement unit tests to verify the behavior of the new relaxation logic in scheduling actions, ensuring that filters are correctly relaxed and results are returned as expected.
Impact: Increased test coverage and reliability of the scheduling features.
Improve the logic for trimming trailing gap-tolerance intervals in periods to prevent misleading period end shifts. Additionally, refine cross-day boundary validation for both best and peak periods to eliminate false extremes caused by inter-day reference shifts.
Impact: More accurate period calculations and reduced artifacts in reported price periods.
Improve the filtering of peak periods to eliminate cross-day artifacts and ensure that only genuine high-price windows are retained. This includes adjustments to the criteria for peak classification and the introduction of validation against previous day's prices for overnight intervals.
Impact: Users will experience more accurate peak pricing data, reducing misleading peak classifications on flat days.
Enhanced descriptions for V-shaped and U-shaped price days to include their characteristics and how they are classified as 'valley' by the Day Pattern sensor.
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.
Include the MermaidChart extension to enhance diagramming capabilities within the development environment.
Impact: Users can now create and visualize diagrams directly in their code editor.
Updated pattern names for clarity and consistency in the codebase. The changes include renaming constants and updating related logic to reflect the new terminology.
Impact: Improved readability and understanding of day pattern classifications for developers.
Refactor the pattern classification logic to include start and end prices for better accuracy in identifying day patterns. This change improves the classification of price patterns, particularly for cases involving valleys and peaks.
Impact: Users will experience more accurate price pattern classifications, leading to better decision-making based on price trends.
The Copilot backend relies on the AI to reproduce the footer text exactly,
which leads to subtle differences (URL parameter order, whitespace, emoji
encoding) compared to the git-cliff template in cliff.toml.
Fix: define CANONICAL_FOOTER as a single bash constant and pipe all three
backends (copilot, git-cliff, manual) through ensure_canonical_footer(),
which strips any existing BMAC footer block and appends the canonical one.
Also tell the AI not to generate a footer at all, since it is now added
programmatically. The manual backend gains a footer it previously lacked.
User-Impact: none
The PRICE_INFO endpoint returns all available intervals (~384) regardless
of the requested range. When fetching multiple missing ranges, subsequent
calls are redundant if the first response already covers them.
After each fetch, track returned timestamps and skip ranges that are
already covered by previously fetched data.
Impact: Reduces redundant Tibber API calls, especially after restarts or
cache invalidation when multiple gaps exist in the interval pool.
Touch operations create dead intervals in old fetch groups, but GC only
ran when new intervals were added. Dead intervals accumulated until
the next fetch with genuinely new data.
Now run GC after touch-only paths and schedule a save if data changed.
Impact: Reduces memory usage by cleaning up stale fetch groups promptly
instead of letting dead intervals accumulate between API fetches.
Cherry-pick of v0.30.1 hotfix (ec3bc9f). When _cleanup_dead_intervals
compacted group lists but no groups became fully empty, the index retained
stale interval_index values pointing past compacted list ends, causing
IndexError in _get_cached_intervals.
Now rebuilds the index whenever dead intervals are removed, even if no
groups are deleted.
Includes regression test for Issue #118 and updated touch operation tests
to reflect that GC now runs immediately after touch-only paths.
Closes#118
Impact: Eliminates IndexError crash for users with brand-new Tibber accounts
that have limited price history, where partial group compaction was most likely.
git-cliff ≤2.12.0 --include-path ignores the commit range and generates
a full changelog. The commit_parsers in cliff.toml already filter
non-user-facing types/scopes, making path filtering redundant.
Changed RELEASE_NOTES_CLIFF_FILTER_PATHS default from true to false.
User-Impact: none
Introduce additional sensors for current price phase, phase duration, and upcoming phase timings to enhance user visibility of pricing dynamics.
Impact: Users can now monitor current price phases and their durations, improving decision-making based on real-time pricing information.
Consolidate logic for determining current price phase and associated attributes by introducing shared helper functions. This enhances code maintainability and reduces duplication across components.
Impact: Improved clarity and efficiency in price phase handling for users.
Modified the TypeScript configuration files to set the ignoreDeprecations option to "6.0" for improved compatibility with future TypeScript versions.
User-Impact: none
Revised the descriptions and names for the previous interval price rank entities across multiple language translation files to enhance clarity and consistency.
Impact: Users will see improved terminology in the interface, making it clearer that the ranks refer to the previous interval's prices.
Remove the DATA_STATISTICS_REVIEW_REQUIRED flag and all associated
persistence logic. The flag approach was over-engineered: we cannot
detect whether the Recorder statistics have been fixed, and requiring
the user to re-save display settings as acknowledgement is bad UX.
New design: show the repair notice once when the mode changes.
The user dismisses it when done reviewing. The HA Recorder will
independently show its own unit-change dialog — that is sufficient.
Changes:
- Remove DATA_STATISTICS_REVIEW_REQUIRED constant from const.py
- Remove _check_statistics_review_repair() from __init__.py
- Remove ir import from __init__.py (no longer needed there)
- Remove flag set/clear logic from options_flow.py
- Change is_persistent=False (no restart persistence needed)
- Update all 5 translations: restore simple "Dismiss this notice" ending
We have no way to programmatically detect whether the Recorder statistics
have been fixed. Dismissing the Repairs notification does not mean the
problem is resolved, only that the user has seen it.
Revert to delete + create on every async_setup_entry when the flag is set.
This guarantees the issue is visible after every restart until the user
explicitly acknowledges completion by re-saving the display settings in
the options flow.
Remove the dismissed_version auto-clear logic that was treating dismissal
as acknowledgement (it was not).
Update all 5 translation files: replace "Dismiss this notice" with
instructions to re-save display settings as the only way to permanently
close the notification.
Released-Bug: no
async_create_issue preserves dismissed_version when called with the same
issue_id. This means that if a user had previously dismissed the repair
issue, changing the currency mode again would set the flag but the issue
would stay hidden (because it still has a dismissed_version).
Fix: use delete + create in the options flow when mode_changed=True.
This resets dismissed_version so the new instance is always visible.
The __init__.py path (HA restart with flag set) continues to use plain
async_create_issue so that a restart alone does not un-dismiss an issue
the user already acknowledged.
Released-Bug: no
The previous implementation used delete + create on every async_setup_entry,
which reset dismissed_version and forced the issue to reappear after every
HA restart regardless of whether the user had dismissed it.
Fix: use async_create_issue (internally get-or-create, preserves
dismissed_version when params are unchanged) instead of delete + create.
The options flow still uses delete + create when the mode changes again,
ensuring the issue is forced into view for any new change.
Also auto-clear the DATA_STATISTICS_REVIEW_REQUIRED flag from
config_entry.data when the issue is detected as dismissed on setup,
so the flag does not linger indefinitely after the user has acknowledged
the issue.
Released-Bug: no
