Electricity#
You'll get the following entities for each electricity meter with an active agreement.
Current Rate#
sensor.octopus_energy_electricity_{{METER_SERIAL_NUMBER}}_{{MPAN_NUMBER}}_current_rate
The current rate that energy consumption is charged at (including VAT).
This is in pounds and pence (e.g. 1.01 = £1.01).
Warning
If you are on an intelligent tariff, then rate information will be adjusted to off-peak rates when a dispatch is discovered during the period. This off peak rate will be dependent on your car charging. As the integration has no knowledge of if your car is charging, this value might be incorrect. This is indicated via the is_intelligent_adjusted attribute.

Note
This is disabled by default.

Smart Meter Entities#
If your account information doesn't determine you have a smart meter, then you will have the following entities in a disabled state. If you enable these entities, they might not work correctly in this scenario.
If you are wishing to use these sensors with the Energy Dashboard, then you can follow this guide.
By default, it's not possible to include current consumption sensors. This is due to Octopus Energy only receive data from the smart meters up to the previous day. If you want current consumption, then you will need a Octopus Home Mini.
Previous Accumulative Consumption#
sensor.octopus_energy_electricity_{{METER_SERIAL_NUMBER}}_{{MPAN_NUMBER}}_previous_accumulative_consumption
The total consumption reported by the meter (not other devices e.g. Home Mini) for the previous available full day. If for example data is available up to 01:00 of 2024-09-02, then this sensor will report the cost between 2024-09-01T00:00:00Z and 2024-09-02T00:00:00Z.
Info
This retrieves the data reported directly by the meter which is used to calculate your bill. If you have an Octopus Home Mini (or similar), then data reported by this device will not be exposed in this sensor. This is to avoid confusion when comparing the data against your bill and to provide consistency between users with and without an Octopus Home Mini.
Warning
This data won't necessarily be available at the stroke of midnight. This integration has no control of this and is at the mercy of when the data is available by Octopus Energy.
Because this sensor only looks at the last complete day, if the data takes longer than 24 hours to populate then the sensor will not update straight away. You can look at the data_last_retrieved sensor which indicates when the data was last retrieved.

Export Entities#

Home Mini/Pro Entities#
Current Consumption#
sensor.octopus_energy_electricity_{{METER_SERIAL_NUMBER}}_{{MPAN_NUMBER}}_current_consumption
Warning
This will only be available if you have specified you have an Octopus Home Mini. Do not set unless you have one.
Info
An export equivalent of this sensor does not exist because the data is not available
The delta of the accumulative electricity consumption since the last update (e.g. if the previous accumulative consumption update reported 1kWh and the current accumulative consumption update reported 1.1kWh, then this sensor will report 0.1kWh).
This is a legacy sensor which was been built to see the accumulation within the energy dashboard. This may be removed in the future.
It has been noticed that daily consumption reported in Home Assistant can differ to when looking at past data within Octopus Energy. It looks like this is because Octopus Energy will favour "official" data from your smart meter over the data they collect.
If current consumption data is unable to be retrieved, then the integration will attempt to retrieve missing data. This will be done for the current day only. This is due to it sharing the same data for the accumulation sensors and will not be changed.
Info
You can use the data_last_retrieved sensor to determine when the underlying data was last retrieved from the OE servers.
