<li class=""><strong>Before publication</strong>: Sensors show <code>unavailable</code> or use today's data</li>
|

<li class=""><strong>After publication</strong>: Integration automatically fetches new data within 15 minutes</li>

|

<p>No, you need:</p>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li class="">Active Tibber electricity contract</li>
|
||
<li class="">API token from <a href="https://developer.tibber.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="">developer.tibber.com</a></li>

<p>The integration is free, but requires Tibber as your electricity provider.</p>

<p><strong>Default values work for most users:</strong></p>

<ul>
|

<li class="">High Price Threshold: 30% above average</li>
|
||
<li class="">Low Price Threshold: 15% below average</li>

<ul>
|

<li class="">You're in a market with high volatility → increase thresholds</li>

<li class="">You want more sensitive ratings → decrease thresholds</li>

|
||
<p><strong>Key parameters:</strong></p>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li class=""><strong>Flex</strong>: 15-20% is optimal (default 15%)</li>
|
||
<li class=""><strong>Min Distance</strong>: 5-10% recommended (default 5%)</li>
|
||
<li class=""><strong>Rating Levels</strong>: Start with "CHEAP + VERY_CHEAP" (default)</li>
|
||
<li class=""><strong>Relaxation</strong>: Keep enabled (helps find periods on expensive days)</li>
|

</ul>

|
||
<p>This happens on <strong>high-price days</strong> when:</p>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li class="">Few intervals meet your criteria</li>
|
||
<li class="">Relaxation is disabled</li>
|
||
<li class="">Flex is too low</li>
|

<li class="">Min Distance is too strict</li>
|

</ul>
|
||
<p><strong>Solutions:</strong></p>
|
||
<ol>
|
||
<li class="">Enable relaxation (recommended)</li>
|
||
<li class="">Increase flex to 20-25%</li>
|
||
<li class="">Reduce min_distance to 3-5%</li>
|

<li class="">Add more rating levels (include "NORMAL")</li>

|

<ol>
|
||
<li class=""><strong>API Token invalid</strong> → Check token at developer.tibber.com</li>

<li class=""><strong>No internet connection</strong> → Check HA network</li>

<li class=""><strong>Tibber API down</strong> → Check <a href="https://status.tibber.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="">status.tibber.com</a></li>

|

<p>This means <strong>all intervals meet your criteria</strong> (very cheap day!):</p>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li class="">Not an error - enjoy the low prices!</li>
|
||
<li class="">Consider tightening filters (lower flex, higher min_distance)</li>
