The easyEnergy integration integrates the [easyEnergy](https://www.easyenergy.com) API platform with Home Assistant.
The integration makes it possible to retrieve the dynamic energy/gas prices
from easyEnergy in order to gain insight into the price trend of the day and
to adjust your consumption accordingly.
Companies that use the data from easyEnergy:

## Sensors
The easyEnergy integration creates a number of sensor entities for both gas
and electricity prices.
### Energy market prices
In terms of electricity you get two separate services, easyEnergy uses separate
prices for electricity that you use (buy) or return (sell). Every day around
**14:00 UTC time**, the new prices are published for the following day.
- The `current` and `next hour` electricity market price
- Average electricity price of the day
- Lowest energy price
- Highest energy price
- Time of day when the price is highest
- Time of day when the price is at its lowest
- Percentage of the current price compared to the maximum price
### Gas market price
For the dynamic gas prices, only entities are created that display the
`current` and `next hour` price because the price is always fixed for
24 hours; new prices are published every morning at **05:00 UTC time**.
