The integration makes it possible to retrieve the dynamic energy/gas prices from easyEnergy in order to gain insight into the price trend of the day and to adjust your consumption accordingly.

Sensors

The easyEnergy integration creates a number of sensor entities for both gas and electricity prices.

Energy market prices

In terms of electricity you get two separate services, easyEnergy uses separate prices for electricity that you use (buy) or return (sell). Every day around 14:00 UTC time, the new prices are published for the following day.

  • The current and next hour electricity market price
  • Average electricity price of the day
  • Lowest energy price
  • Highest energy price
  • Time of day when the price is highest
  • Time of day when the price is at its lowest
  • Percentage of the current price compared to the maximum price

Gas market price

For the dynamic gas prices, only entities are created that display the current and next hour price because the price is always fixed for 24 hours; new prices are published every morning at 05:00 UTC time.
