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.
Warning
For intelligent tariffs, this sensor will only turn on during the standard off peak period. If you are wanting to know when extended off peak rates are available, you'll want to use the is dispatching sensor.

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 for the previous day.
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 previous day, if the data takes longer than 24 hours to populate then the sensor will not update. This can be determined by looking at the data_last_retrieved attribute which indicates when the data was last retrieved. For example, if the current day is 02/01/2024, it will look at data for 01/01/2024. If the data for 01/01/2024 doesn't populate until 03/01/2024 then the sensor will not update.
If your data is always behind, you can adjust the number of days that the sensor looks back by updating integrations config.

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 a 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 latest electricity consumption sent to Octopus Energy. This will update every minute. 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.

Tariff Overrides#
You may be on an existing tariff but want to know if the grass is greener (or cheaper) on the other side. The following entities are available in a disabled state, which when enabled can give you an indication what you'd be paying if you were on a different tariff and didn't change your energy habits.
See below for instructions on how to set up.
Info
When updating the tariff depending on what previous consumption data is available, it can take up to 24 hours to update the cost. This will be improved in the future.
Previous Accumulative Cost Override Tariff#
text.octopus_energy_electricity_{{METER_SERIAL_NUMBER}}_{{MPAN_NUMBER}}_previous_accumulative_cost_override_tariff
This is used to define the electricity tariff you want to compare.
How To Use#
