Smart Home Junkie | This is the BEST MATRIX DISPLAY CLOCK for Home Assistant! @SmartHomeJunkie | Uploaded April 2023 | Updated October 2024, 8 hours ago.
This is the Ulanzi Desktop Clock! And it's super awesome because you can customize it just the way you want with Home Assistant. You can show the time, date, sensor values, and animations. And you can send notifications to it as well. Next to that, you can use it for room presence control. This clock can do it all, and you definitely want to have this sitting on your desk! I did a lot of research on how you can control it in Home Assistant using Awtrix 3, and developed the most simple way for you so that you can set it up in minutes! Let's dive into this true LaMetric Time killer!

$Save Money Now: Track Dynamic Energy Prices in Home Assistant Energy prices are going through the roof these days. Some energy companies deliver dynamic energy prices so that the price of energy changes every hour. This way, you can turn on your appliances when the prices are low. I am going to show you in this tutorial how you can create a bar chart of the dynamic energy prices in Home Assistant so that you can monitor these prices and see when its the best time to turn on appliances like your washing machine. And on top of that, you learn more about how to work with templates in Home Assistant. ⭐ You can download the code that I created for this video at: https://ko-fi.com/s/e937e90ca8 ⭐ The download file also contains some optimizations to the code that is shown in the video.

Start Appliances at the LOWEST ENERGY PRICE using Home Assistant! https://youtu.be/um_rU44WDSs Blog version: https://www.smarthomejunkie.net/how-to-track-dynamic-energy-prices-in-home-assistant-now NOTE: If you install Zonneplan, you have to enable the following entity to make this work: sensor.zonneplan_current_electricity_tariff * Go to Settings * Go to Devices and Services * Go to the entities tab * Search for Zonneplan * Click on Zonneplan current electricity tariff * Select Enable Entity NOTE 2: In some cases, the bar chart is not shown for some people. If you experience issues with the Apexchart card that does not show a graph, then change the following code in the template: replace float by float(0) NOTE 3: If you did not fill in the VAT percentage in the integration, you can also choose to multiply the price with your VAT percentage in the template, and on top of that add additional costs. In that case, the formula would be something like this if your VAT is 21%: {%- set ns.prices = ns.prices + [(hours.value * 1.21) + states(input_number.nordpool_additional_costs) | float] -%} Special thanks to TheFes for tweaking the code so that it got smaller. ⭐⭐⭐ * Join this channel to get access to perks: 📺 https://www.youtube.com/c/smarthomejunkie/join * Please consider becoming my patron 🏅 at https://www.patreon.com/join/smarthomejunkie * Or please support me by buying me a ☕ at https://ko-fi.com/smarthomejunkie/ ⭐⭐⭐ My Devices: https://github.com/smarthomejunkie/MyDevices Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/smarthomejunkie/ Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/smarth0mejunkie Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/smarthomejunkie/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@smarthomejunkie Discord: https://discord.gg/at8v5hW Music by: * 2TECH-AUDIO: https://2tech-audio.bandcamp.com/ 00:00:00 Introduction 00:01:11 Install the Nordpool integration in Home Assistant 00:02:48 Show the data that the Norpool integration sends to Home Assistant 00:03:46 Create a template sensor to combine data of today and tomorrow 00:04:38 Create a number helper to store additional costs 00:05:21 Create the template 00:05:51 Install Studio Code Server 00:06:21 Create the templates.yaml file 00:07:01 Add the template code to the templates.yaml file 00:07:47 Retrieve the time from the Nordpool integration 00:08:41 Retrieve the energy prices from the Nordpool integration 00:09:27 Lets test the template 00:09:57 Create the bar-chart 00:11:12 Add the additional costs helper field 00:11:44 Install the ENTSO-e integration 00:12:27 Retrieve the API key from ENTSO-e 00:13:10 Configure ENTSO-e in Home Assistant 00:13:57 Download the code for the ENTSO-e and Zonneplan integration 00:14:16 Conclusion #homeassistant #variableenergyprices #energyprices #trackenergy #tutorial #smarthome #homeautomation$
