NRGI integration for Home Assistant

This integration is not affiliated with NRGI.

NRGI is a danish energy company that provides electricity and gas to private and business customers. The company acts like a Distribution System Operator (DSO) and is responsible for the distribution of electricity and gas to the end customer.

Variable rate API

NRGI offers a variable-rate tariff for electricity. The variable-rate can be used to reduce the electricity bill by using electricity when the price is low. The price can be found on the NRGI website here: https://nrgi.dk/privat/stroem/bliv-klogere-paa-stroem/foelg-timeprisen-paa-stroem.

This API lets you see the variable-rate prices for the next 48 hours. Which can be used to let you know when to use power hungry devices.

Installation

HACS (recommended)

This card is available in HACS (Home Assistant Community Store). HACS is a third party community store and is not included in Home Assistant out of the box.

Display in Lovelace

To display the variable-rate prices in Lovelace, you use the ApexCharts card. The ApexCharts card is a custom card that can be installed using HACS. The card can be found here: https://github.com/RomRider/apexcharts-card.
