Introduced new documentation files covering various configuration aspects such as chart data export, currency display, general settings, peak price periods, price levels, price ratings, price trends, and volatility. Each section provides detailed explanations of settings, their impacts, and migration guidance for legacy features. Impact: Users gain clear guidance on configuring the Tibber Prices integration, enhancing usability and understanding of features. ### Notes - New files include config-chart-export.md, config-currency.md, config-general.md, config-peak-price.md, config-price-level.md, config-price-rating.md, config-price-trend.md, config-runtime-overrides.md, and config-volatility.md. - Updated sidebar for improved navigation within the documentation.

📈 Price Trend Thresholds
Settings → Devices & Services → Tibber Prices → Configure → 📈 Price Trend
Price trend sensors compare the upcoming price average to the current price and report whether prices are rising, falling, or stable. These thresholds define how much of a change is required before the trend sensor changes state.
See Trend Sensors for a full explanation of all trend sensors, how volatility-adaption works, and automation examples.
Settings
| Setting | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Rising | +3% | Future average this much above current → rising |
| Strongly rising | +9% | Future average far above current → strongly_rising |
| Falling | -3% | Future average this much below current → falling |
| Strongly falling | -9% | Future average far below current → strongly_falling |
Prices within the rising/falling range are reported as stable.
Volatility-adaptive thresholds
On high-volatility days, the thresholds automatically widen to prevent the trend sensor from flickering constantly due to natural price variation. The effective threshold is scaled based on the day's volatility level:
- Low volatility: Thresholds used as-is
- Moderate volatility: Thresholds slightly widened
- High / Very High volatility: Thresholds significantly widened
This means the same rising threshold (3%) may correspond to a 5% effective threshold on a volatile day. The scaling is automatic — you only need to configure the baseline values here.
Adjusting for your market
- If trend sensors flicker too often on typical days → increase all thresholds slightly (e.g., 4% / 12%)
- If trend sensors rarely change even on obviously moving price days → decrease thresholds (e.g., 2% / 6%)
- For markets with structural day/night patterns, consider using the
strongly_*states in automations to ensure only major movements trigger actions
