Added comprehensive volatility analysis system:
- 4 new volatility sensors (today, tomorrow, next_24h, today+tomorrow)
- Volatility classification (LOW/MODERATE/HIGH/VERY HIGH) based on price spread
- Configurable thresholds in options flow (step 6 of 6)
- Best/Peak price period filters using volatility and price level
- Price spread calculation in get_price service
Volatility sensors help users decide if price-based optimization is worthwhile.
For example, battery optimization only makes sense when volatility ≥ MODERATE.
Period filters allow AND-logic combinations:
- best_price_min_volatility: Only show cheap periods on volatile days
- best_price_max_level: Only show periods when prices reach desired level
- peak_price_min_volatility: Only show peaks on volatile days
- peak_price_min_level: Only show peaks when expensive levels occur
All 5 language files updated (de, en, nb, nl, sv) with:
- Volatility sensor translations (name, states, descriptions)
- Config flow step 6 "Volatility" with threshold settings
- Step progress indicators added to all config steps
- Period filter translations with usage tips
Impact: Users can now assess daily price volatility and configure period
sensors to only activate when conditions justify battery cycling or load
shifting. Reduces unnecessary battery wear on low-volatility days.
- Introduced a new utility module `period_utils.py` for calculating price periods.
- Implemented `_get_period_config` method to retrieve configuration for best and peak price calculations.
- Added `_calculate_periods_for_price_info` method to compute best and peak price periods based on price data.
- Enhanced `TibberPricesDataUpdateCoordinator` to include calculated periods in the data transformation methods.
- Updated configuration constants for best and peak price settings.
- Added new configuration options for minimum distance from average price for best and peak prices.
- Updated default values for best and peak price flexibility.
- Improved coordinator to handle midnight turnover and data rotation more effectively.
- Refactored entity initialization to streamline device information retrieval.
- Updated sensor attributes to use more descriptive names for price values.
- Enhanced translations for new configuration options in English and German.
- Improved unit tests for coordinator functionality, ensuring proper cleanup and async handling.
