#Configuring Nordpool integration via YAML or finding additional setting through UI

First post here and it was quite difficult to find where to do it. Hopefully this is the correct place for it.

I'm running HAOS on a Raspberry pi 5 as an update to my RPi 3b+ from years ago. I have an existing setup that works, but when I do the same configuration on my new setup, it refuses to work!

If I install the Nordpool integration through devices & services -> Add integration, I get two choices, which is not enough. When I try to configure the Nordpool integration through configuration.yaml with the following code:
"sensor:

platform: nordpool
VAT: True
currency: "SEK"
price_in_cents: True
region: "SE3"
precision: 1
price_type: kWh
additional_costs: "{{0.715|float}}"

But nothing happens. Why won't it load the nordpool integration and make it accessible as a sensor as it normally would? Why can't I configure it through YAML like it says in the configuration? What am I doing wrong?

I can't figure this out :( Not getting anywhere and the documentation won't take me further.

You are probably mixing the documentation of the nordpool custom integration and the configuration of the core integration

#

The core integration will also not give you the same information in the same format that the custom integration does

#

Hmm. I need to figure out what that means. Should I have installed it in a different way?

#

The custom gives you more?

#

I have another existing setup on my RPi 3b+. I just wanted to copypaste everything from there really

If you have that red box it means you have the custom integration

There is basically the custom integration you needed to install first and now since 2024.12 there is an integration that is coming with HA by default

Even though I don't have it.

No red box :/

This is the built in then

safe sundial
#

Oh ok

#

I got HACS installed. I thought I installed it through there

grave raptor
#

But on your older system you probably have the custom one through HACS

#

The built in is probably more reliable, but as I said they don’t provide the same data in the same format

safe sundial
#

This is starting to make sense. Will look a bit more at it in a bit. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!

#

Hmm

#

Because my old one I can configure in the configuration.yaml and it behaves as I want it to

#

This one I can't configure at all. It's just two things I can setup

grave raptor
#

Yes the new one is config flow (UI) configuration only

safe sundial
#

But it lacks all the options

grave raptor
#

You can configure some things if you go to the configured integration and select „configure“

#

Areas and currency

#

It doesn’t need the other options because it does things differently

safe sundial
#

Differently how? I want to show it in cents not in full currency for readability and for all my automations to not have to be changed

grave raptor
#

In terms of sensors and so on

#

Just compare the two documentations

#

But if you don’t wanna change something just install the custom one. As I said they are not compatible

safe sundial
#

It did the trick I think. But I only see one sensor. I wonder if tomorrow's prediction will work. But now it's made by the yaml config at least

#

I don't think I understand exactly what is compatible with what

#

I just need it to give me the value it already does for all the automations and the rest with apexcharts

#

Perfect. Thanks!
