📈 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
