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
Current Total	Current Total Price (energy + tax)	True
Starts At	Current Price Timestamp	True
Current Level	Current Price Level	True
Daily Cost	Daily Cost (last/previous day)	True
Daily Consumption	Daily Consumption (last/previous day)	True
Daily From	Timestamp (daily from)	True
Daily To	Timestamp (daily to)	True
Hourly Cost	Hourly Cost (last/previous hour)	True
Hourly Consumption	Hourly Consumption (last/previous hour)	True
Hourly From	Timestamp (hourly from)	True
Hourly To	Timestamp (hourly to)	True
Tomorrow prices	JSON array of tomorrow's prices. See below for example.	True

Tibber Pulse (optional):

Channel ID	Description	Read-only
Timestamp	Timestamp for live measurements	True
Power	Live Power Consumption	True
Last Meter Consumption	Last Recorded Meter Consumption	True
Accumulated Consumption	Accumulated Consumption since Midnight	True
Accumulated Cost	Accumulated Cost since Midnight	True
Currency	Currency of Cost	True
Min Power	Min Power Consumption since Midnight	True
Average Power	Average Power Consumption since Midnight	True
Max Power	Max Power Consumption since Midnight	True
Voltage 1-3	Voltage per Phase	True
Current 1-3	Current per Phase	True
Power Production	Live Power Production	True
Accumulated Production	Accumulated Production since Midnight	True
Min Power Production	Min Power Production since Midnight	True
Max Power Production	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 www.developer.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.
