First release of RBgrid for ESPHome.

What it does

  • The RBgrid metering core as an ESPHome external component:
    • rbAmp I²C modules, up to 8 on one bus;
    • live power per point, 15-minute periods;
    • history on the hub's flash;
    • the tariff plan with time-of-use zones, taxes, fees, VAT and net metering;
    • remote ESP-NOW nodes.
  • Dynamic (spot) prices:
    • Energy-Charts, Nord Pool, Elpriset just nu, Hva koster strømmen, EnergyZero, Octopus Agile, or Home Assistant as the source;
    • a primary and a backup source, then the plan;
    • a 40-day log of every applied price.
  • Cheap windows (up to 8 rules) and a price notification. The hub switches nothing itself; HA automations read the
    windows and flags.
  • Import peaks per billing cycle, for capacity tariffs (metering only).
  • Home Assistant:
    • entities for the system and 12 point slots (a slot's entities start disabled until a point takes it);
    • the rbgrid_cmd action for all configuration;
    • esphome.rbgrid_event events with a seq cursor.
  • Ready-made images for ESP32-WROVER and ESP32-S3 N16R8:
    • install from the browser;
    • Wi-Fi over Improv or the setup access point (rbgrid-hub-xxxxxx, password RBGRID123; change it after adoption);
    • updates over the air.
  • Planned restarts (OTA, restart from HA) keep the open hour and the lifetime totals.

Known behaviour

  • While the core is starting (a few seconds after a boot), rbgrid_cmd answers [code=STARTING]; repeat the command.
