Agile Price Table#
If you're wanting to display upcoming prices in a nice readable format, then you can utilise the Octopus Energy Rates card developed by @lozzd.
Greenness Forecast#
If you're wanting to display greenness forecast in a nice readable format, then you can utilise the Octopus Energy Greenness Forecast Card developed by @elyobelyob.
Home battery prediction and charging#
If you use OE with a home battery, you might be interested in predbat, which can take advantage of the data available through this integration.
Import and Export Rates Charts#
Thanks to @fboundy you can use ApexCharts Card to plot the import and export rates for the current day using the following configuration.
Remember that the import and export current_day_rates and next_day_rates will be disabled by default and you will have to enable them and wait for the next update of Octopus agile rates at 4pm before you can add this card to your dashboard.
Replace {{METER_SERIAL_NUMBER}}_{{MPAN_NUMBER}}{{_export} with your information and whether you want the import or export rate chart:
type: custom:apexcharts-card
header:
show: true
show_states: true
colorize_states: true
title: Agile {{Export}} Rates
graph_span: 1d
stacked: false
span:
start: day
apex_config:
legend:
show: false
yaxis:
- min: ~0
max: ~35
decimals: 1

event.octopus_energy_electricity_{{METER_SERIAL_NUMBER}}_{{MPAN_NUMBER}}{{_export}}_current_day_rates
type: column

unit: p
show:
in_header: false
legend_value: false

return entity.attributes.rates.map((entry) => {
return [new Date(entry.start), entry.value_inc_vat * 100];
});
offset: '-15min'

});
offset: '-15min'
which will produce something like the following...
If you're looking for cost vs power using ApexCharts Card, then @plandregan has you covered with the following configuration. Replace {{METER_SERIAL_NUMBER}}_{{MPAN_NUMBER}} and sensor.givtcp_xxxxxxxxxxxx_grid_power with your information:

Import and Export Rates Chart#
If you're looking to combine import and export rates then create a card with the configuration. Replace {{METER_SERIAL_NUMBER}}_{{MPAN_NUMBER}} with your information:
type: custom:config-template-card
