Feature request: Multiple currency support

[overas]

I only get "Current Day-Ahead Electricity Price" and "Next Hour Day-Ahead Electricity Price" in Euro. Is this correct? I use Norway Kr. Sand (NO2) in Area. I want to have the prices in NOK.

Yes it's only in euro for now. Unfortunately the python library of ENTSO-e only gives prices in euro. I am not sure if the API of ENTSO-e can give prices in more currencies, otherwise we have to fetch exchange rates from another API (like OpenExchange) i think.

Before a solution in this integration is fixed, you can use the open exchange rates integration to convert euros to NOK.

I think this API supports NOK https://www.nordpoolgroup.com/en/trading/api/

The template can be used to convert euros: Here is an example provided by @SVH-Powel.

{% set s = {
"day": 0.6676,
"night": 0.5426,
"cert": 0.01,
"vat": 1.25,
"eur": float(states('sensor.kurs_eur'), 10)
}
%}
{% if now().isoweekday() >= 1 and now().isoweekday() <= 5 %}
{% if now().hour >= 6 and now().hour < 22 %}
{{(current_price * s.eur * s.vat + s.day + s.cert) | float}}
{% else %}
{{(current_price * s.eur * s.vat + s.night + s.cert) | float}}
{% endif %}
{% else %}
{{(current_price * s.eur * s.vat + s.night + s.cert) | float}}
{% endif %}

Here sensor.kurs_eur can be changed to the sensor that gives you the exchange the rate for the currency you want.

Thanks for the example. You can also make the sensor with the currect Euro to NOK: sensor.kurs_eur I have taken the example from this norwegian forum: https://www.hjemmeautomasjon.no/forums/topic/11102-str%C3%B8mpriser/?do=findComment&comment=105596

  - platform: rest
    resource: https://data.norges-bank.no/api/data/EXR/B.EUR.NOK.SP?lastNObservations=1&format=sdmx-json
    name: kurs_eur
    scan_interval: 43200
    unit_of_measurement: NOK
    value_template: "{{ value_json['data']['dataSets'][0]['series']['0:0:0:0']['observations']['0'][0] }}"

Thank you for the help. I am closing the case.

I am currently working on a config flow where you could select a entity with a conversion rate and use that to convert to the currency you want. This field also needs to accept a float if people don't want to use a entity for it.

If you want to help: see #38!
