Hi! I am in a weird predicament where sometimes my electric bill period is as short as 28 days, others can be up to 34. I am billed on my usage, but I need to hit a specific amount to receive a discount every month.
I am currently manually pulling up the dates and looking at my energy meter readings within Home Assistant to make sure I hit the threshold within the shortest possible billing cycle (28 days).
My question is a) is there a way to automate this a bit? And b) could it be possible to add a button or input to enter when I know the new start date for the month? e.g. my new start date to track monthly usage for my bill should be November 4th. (startdate=Nov4+28days) And next month I'd change it to December 1st perhaps, etc. Ideally not drilling down into Yaml config files if possible?
Anyone else in the same boat? How have you tackled this? Thank you in advance!
