Library

We have an extensive library of various bOS configuration examples. Select your heating pump, AC, TV or almost any other device and import it to your smart building configuration. We also encourage all system integrators and DIYs to add their own examples to ComfortClick library.

ENTSO-E’s vision positions Europe to become the first climate-neutral continent by 2050, ensuring the electricity system remains secure, sustainable, affordable, and capable of integrating vast renewable energy supplies in line with the European Green Deal. Its dual mission comprises: Preparing the power system for carbon neutrality. Managing a power system that remains secure, efficient, and competitive for European consumers and markets. TThis example brings real-time electricity prices into your automation system, letting you display today’s, yesterday’s, and tomorrow’s rates. Use this data to automate high-energy tasks—like EV charging or heating—during cheaper periods, cutting costs and boosting efficiency. Powered by ENTSO-E’s API.

API preparation

Before downloading the example, create a free account on Entso trasparency website, check the link on top for the dashboard. The same login credentials are used in main HTTP node under username and password. In order to generate the API key, which is required for integration, contact Entso's support and request API key for activation. A simple email with "Restful API access" with request for their API activation to their official address: transparency@entsoe.eu needs to be sent and once the request is approved, additional features, including generating the API key will be available on the dashboard. Press the "Generate a new token" button on the dashboard and generate a new API token, make sure this token is saved. Each time the generate token is pressed, a new token will be generated.

Configuration

Download the example from our website and import it into your configuration. Step by step instructions on how to import are available in our instructional video.

Download the example from our website and import it into your configuration. Enter your Entso-e Username and Password in their respective fields. Under the main "Day ahead price" open the API key string and import your newly generated API token in the string. In order to get the correct electricity price for your country, navigate to Entso's Area list with identification codes find your country and copy the identification code into the "Energy identification code" string. Run the main Day ahead price command and the yesterday's, today's and tomorrow's electricity prices for each hour should get populated. The example comes with different visualization panels, which can be used to display different prices for different days/times. Tasks folder will contain logic for cheap or expensive status, which can then be used as a trigger to start or stop devices or logic that may be more expensive.
