Blueprints#
Blueprints are an excellent way to get you up and running with the integration quickly. They can also be used as a guide for setting up new automations which you can tailor to your needs.
Rates#
Alert when rates change#
This blueprint will raise a persistent notification within HA when a rate updates.
Consumption#
Alert when consumption data is late#
This blueprint will fire a configured action when the latest available consumption data is x hours old, where x is configured via the blueprint.
Octoplus#
Automatically join saving sessions#
This blueprint will trigger when a new saving session has been discovered, join it, and send a notification alerting you to when it will start.
If you wish to customise how the notification is delivered, you should install this blueprint (source)
Automatically redeem Octoplus points for account credit#
This blueprint will automatically redeem all redeemable points for account credit when the number of redeemable points exceeds a configurable threshold.
Info
This will only trigger when the redeemable points go from under the threshold to over. If it's already over the threshold, then the automation will not trigger. This is by design of Home Assistant.
You can manually run the automation if the redeemable points is over the threshold to get it in a state where automatic redemption will happen in the future.
Alert when current consumption is approaching saving sessions baseline#
This blueprint will fire a configured action when the consumption for the current interval (i.e. the current 30 minute period) reaches a configured percentage of the saving session baseline.
Warning
This blueprint requires sensors provided by Octopus Energy Home Mini
Wheel of Fortune#
Automatically spin wheel of fortune (single)#
This blueprint will trigger when the number of spins for a given energy source goes above zero, and will spin until the sensor reaches zero.
Warning
Due to an ongoing issue with the underlying API, this will not award octopoints if used. If you are on Octoplus, it is advised not to use this blueprint.
Automatically spin wheel of fortune (Dual)#
This blueprint will trigger when either gas or electricity energy source spins are available, and will spin until the sensor reaches zero. This works as above, but combines both sensors into a single automation.
Info
Due to the nature of this blueprint, you can't manually run this automation as it relies on triggers being present
Warning
Due to an ongoing issue with the underlying API, this will not award octopoints if used. If you are on Octoplus, it is advised not to use this blueprint.
Cost Tracker#
Automatically update tracking (negative)#
This blueprint will automatically update the tracking state for the specified cost tracker sensors when the monitored sensor goes negative.
Automatically update tracking (positive)#
This blueprint will automatically update the tracking state for the specified cost tracker sensors when the monitored sensor goes positive (including zero).
