Hi, does Home Assistant calculate energy price based on the current price of the energy at that time, if that is the value that has been given to HA?

If you give the energy panel a dynamic price sensor, every time the consumption sensor changes, that change is multiplied by the price and added to the cost total.

ruby pumice If you give the energy panel a dynamic price sensor, every time the consumption ...

so the cost price is incremental, and doesn't just take the total consumption * current price

correct

#

it's got a separate running counter

#

not a simple static multiplication

it's culmPrice+(energyUsed*currentPrice)

#

awesome
