MQTT cost data

in API Info

Hi All,

Is the current price/cost data included in the MQTT output ? I have it working/integrated with my home assistant in terms of gas and electric usage, but I haven't been able to determine the current cost for each ... is that hidden in the MQTT somewhere or do I need to use the API ?


Thanks

    Hi Simon,

    Tariff information is the the main API rather than MQTT. You can apply the rates (although you may be applying kWh rates to kW - so just a warning that "instant cost" can be useful but possibly not meaningful), etc.

    If there is a more detailed requirement, maybe log it here. Can't guarantee it will make its way into MQTT, but good to know if we are doing any work in that area.

    Hello,

    You can read the Tariff data in home assistant via the main API - I have it working in:

    NOTE: this is a fork of the HandyHat repro of the same name - pending a pull request.
