Tibber Binding

The Tibber Binding connects to the Tibber API (opens new window), and enables users to retrieve electricity data:

• Default: Frequent polls are performed to retrieve electricity price and cost/consumption information
• Optional: For users having Tibber Pulse, a websocket connection is established to retrieve live measurements

Refresh time (poll frequency) is set manually as part of setup, minimum 1 minute.

Tibber Pulse will automatically be detected by the Binding if present and associated with the token/HomeID used for setup.

Supported Things

Provided one have a Tibber User Account, the Tibber API is recognized as a thing in openHAB using the Tibber Binding.

Tibber Pulse is optional, but will enable live measurements.

The channels (i.e. measurements) associated with the Binding:

Tibber Default:

Channel ID	Description	Read-only	Forecast
current_total	Current Total Price (energy + tax)	True	yes
current_startsAt	Current Price Timestamp	True	no
current_level	Current Price Level	True	no
daily_cost	Daily Cost (last/previous day)	True	no
daily_consumption	Daily Consumption (last/previous day)	True	no
daily_from	Timestamp (daily from)	True	no
daily_to	Timestamp (daily to)	True	no
hourly_cost	Hourly Cost (last/previous hour)	True	no
hourly_consumption	Hourly Consumption (last/previous hour)	True	no
hourly_from	Timestamp (hourly from)	True	no
hourly_to	Timestamp (hourly to)	True	no
tomorrow_prices	JSON array of tomorrow's prices. See below for example.	True	no
today_prices	JSON array of today's prices. See below for example.	True	no

Tibber Pulse (optional):

Channel ID	Description	Read-only
live_timestamp	Timestamp for live measurements	True
live_power	Live Power Consumption	True
live_lastMeterConsumption	Last Recorded Meter Consumption	True
live_accumulatedConsumption	Accumulated Consumption since Midnight	True
live_accumulatedConsumptionThisHour	Accumulated Consumption since last hour shift	True
live_accumulatedCost	Accumulated Cost since Midnight	True
live_accumulatedReward	Accumulated Reward since Midnight	True
live_currency	Currency of Cost	True
live_minPower	Min Power Consumption since Midnight	True
live_averagePower	Average Power Consumption since Midnight	True
live_maxPower	Max Power Consumption since Midnight	True
live_voltage1	Voltage Phase 1	True
live_voltage2	Voltage Phase 2	True
live_voltage3	Voltage Phase 3	True
live_current1	Current Phase 1	True
live_current2	Current Phase 2	True
live_current3	Current Phase 3	True
live_powerProduction	Live Power Production	True
live_accumulatedProduction	Accumulated Production since Midnight	True
live_accumulatedProductionThisHour	Accumulated Production since last hour shift	True
live_lastMeterProduction	Last Recorded Meter Production	True
live_minPowerproduction	Min Power Production since Midnight	True
live_maxPowerproduction	Max Power Production since Midnight	True

Binding Configuration

To access and initiate the Tibber Binding, a Tibber user account is required.

The following input is required for initialization:

• Tibber token
• Tibber HomeId
• Refresh Interval (min 1 minute)

Note: Tibber token is retrieved from your Tibber account: Tibber Account (opens new window)

Note: Tibber HomeId is retrieved from developer.tibber.com (opens new window):

• Sign in (Tibber user account) and "load" personal token.
• Copy query from below and paste into the Tibber API Explorer, and run query.
• If Tibber Pulse is connected, the Tibber API Explorer will report "true" for "realTimeConsumptionEnabled"
• Copy HomeId from Tibber API Explorer, without quotation marks, and use this in the bindings configuration.

{
  viewer {
    homes {
      id
      features {
        realTimeConsumptionEnabled
      }
    }
  }
}

If user have multiple HomeIds / Pulse, separate Things have to be created for the different/desired HomeIds.

Thing Configuration

When Tibber Binding is installed, Tibber API should be auto discovered.

Retrieve personal token and HomeId from description above, and initialize/start a scan with the binding.

Tibber API will be auto discovered if provided input is correct.

Tomorrow and Today Prices

The today and tomorrow prices are served as forecast on the current_total channel and as JSON data on the channels today_prices and tomorrow_prices. Example of tomorrow and today prices data structure - an array of tuples:
