Following the integration of the ecowatt box by @pierre-gilles in V4.13, I propose to add in the same spirit a box for the EDF « Tempo » contracts (regulated tariff).
So Tempo is an off-peak (22:00 - 06:00)/peak (06:00 - 22:00) rate whose price depends on the color of the day: Blue (300 days), White (45 days) and Red (22 days).
The Tempo year starts on September 1 and runs until August 31. The Tempo day starts on date n at 06:00 and ends on date n+1 at 05:59. The color for day n+1 is provided by RTE around 10:30 on day n.
There is an RTE API that allows retrieving the color for day n+1 but also the colors of days since 01/09/2014: Catalogue API - API Data RTE
In my opinion, this tariff can enable substantial savings if the home is equipped with a second energy source capable, in particular, of heating the home during the 16 hours of the 22 red days. And obviously, with scene automation using Gladys, it might be worth the effort!
In my view the most important information is the color for day n+1 and being able to use it in scenes, plus possibly having a count of days of each color for the Tempo year.
It’s just an idea that may not add any value to the project; integration via Node-RED may be sufficient!
Starting from his tutorial, I created one that allowed retrieving these values in Gladys; it might suit you while waiting for a developer to implement it
@pierre-gilles, Thank you very much for this integration that I was particularly looking forward to in Gladys.
I haven’t tested it yet. I’ll leave comments if needed.
You can close it!
