The ComEd Hourly Pricing program is an optional program available to ComEd electric subscribers which charges customers a variable rate for electricity supply based on current demand rather than a traditional fixed rate. Live prices are published [here](https://hourlypricing.comed.com/live-prices/) and also via an [API](https://hourlypricing.comed.com/hp-api/) which we can integrate as a sensor in Home Assistant.
|
|
|
|
There are two price feeds available: the 5-minute price and current hour average price.
|
|
|
|
To use this sensor in your installation, add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
# Example configuration.yaml entry
|
|
sensor:
|
|
- platform: comed_hourly_pricing
|
|
monitored_feeds:
|
|
- type: five_minute
|
|
- type: current_hour_average
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Configuration variables:
|
|
|
|
- **monitored_feeds** array (*Required*): Feeds to monitor.
|
|
- **type** (*Required*): Name of the feed.
|
|
- **five_minute**: The latest 5-minute price in cents.
|
|
- **current_hour_average**: The latest current hour average price in cents.
|
|
- **name** (*Optional*): Custom name for the sensor.
|
|
- **offset** (*Optional*): The pricing feeds provide only the *supply* cost of the electricity. The offset parameter allows you to provide a fixed constant that will be added to the pricing data to provide a more accurate representation of the total electricity cost per kWh.
