Hoi,
I am new to all of this, I set up a P1monitor years ago and I would update it every time I got a new provider. Now I am about to go to a dynamic contract and I want to charge the car when the sun shines... or whn its cheapest. What I cant figure out is where the pricing is coming from I mean... When i goto the website is hase vastly different prices compaaired to what i see in HA. What am I doing wrong?

These prices are way higher that what I see in Home Assistant....

@BeekeeperNL The 'Toon all-in prijs' toggle is about taxes being included. In HA only VAT is optionally taken into account, not the energy tax.

Hey Klaas, I noticed the precision of the template sensor to grab today's and tomorrow's dynamic prices has a precision of 2 digits. All other providers, I've found, use 3 digit precision. Leading to some rounding issues. Is there any way to raise the precision for the template sensor? I've given it a unique_id and fiddled with the template and checked the python code, but I'm lost :)

Here's an example of how this looks, all other providers are on the same line :

The problem is that if you request the energy data including VAT, you get prices with 2 decimal places, if you request the prices excluding VAT, you get them with 5 decimal places.

./Klaas

That's perfect, thanks!

Thx for this awesom chart...

But how do set this chart up if I want to include costs and taxes per kWh?
I have allready setup 2 extra sensors, one for additional costs and one for taxes.

Please advise...

You can add the costs and taxes in the data_generator:

      data_generator: >
        return entity.attributes.prices.map((entry) => [new
        Date(entry.timestamp), ((entry.price*1.21) + 0.15674)]);      

My taxes are 21% and the added costs (€0.15674) already have the tax included, otherwise you'd configure it like this : (entry.price+costs)*taxes.

Thx man! My taxes ar also 21% but I pay a little less at ANWB Energy!

But this worked for me...
