Smart Battery Buffer

[maduuto]

Describe the bug
Smart battery buffer does not activate

To Reproduce
See logfiles, smart battery buffer is calculating but have not been switched on when cheap times are arrived. It seems that the cheap time for spb is not recalculated on 00:00 for the new day.

sorry, the log of PricesToday and the config of smart battery buffer would be needed to judge the situation. also your log doesn't content anything about 00:00 !?

This is the price for today (next day)

No i mean doesn't it need to be recalculated at 00:00?

[maduuto]

So efficiency lost have been to 0.15 and hours to 2. When i manually changing the efficieny loss to like 0.16 it triggers the automation and immediately the battery charging begins because it is the expected cheap time. So the automation only reacts to triggers which are not time or cost based, like restart or change of settings?

[hombach]

Now I got your point..... Calculator is triggered by changes and when current price is updated... watch out for log sections like this:

Yeah but this doeant work. It didnt stop charging on expensive time today because it was not triggered

[hombach]

do you get "Cron job CurrentPrice - okPrice: true" in log?

[maduuto]

no, never in the last day only false. But everything works except the automation

[hombach]

doesn't look like everything works - if you only get "okPrice: false" ....

Are the time stamp and last changed match to the cuttent system hour AND also to the value in "startsAt" ??

[maduuto]

No, last time was at 28. January 3:22

[maduuto]

log always shows:

Error (Too Many Requests) occured during: -pull of current price- : --

[maduuto]

maybe this helps

Error (Unknown Status) occurred during: -force pull of prices today- : Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'total') --

[hombach]

log always shows:

Error (Too Many Requests) occured during: -pull of current price- : --

so looking at past logs you posted - you sometimes get data, but in between Tibber is blocking your requests. The "Too Many Requests" message is directly from Tibber server. Please halt the adapter for min 5h AND don't use any second method to call your account.

Also there is a fix for a feature in this TibberLink adapter to slow down requests when no connect is possible - unfortunately this feature was buggy, so didn't change the timing.... It is fixed in 2.1.1 - Maybe this helps in your case.

[Also the screenshots of your complete TibberLink Calculator config might help to discover a glitch. ;) ]

[hombach]

@maduuto : any news? Adapter working now as expected?

[maduuto]

no sorry, error messages still appear, but every live information like actual usage is available. Everything works bit still errors like false pulling price and Error (Unknown Status) occurred during: -pull of prices today- : Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'total')

[maduuto]

also some error like

[verifyStateAvailable](Homes.1cb43540-a913-4fde-9c6b-7a418d4b4e07.CurrentPrice.startsAt): State does not exist. --

[hombach]

What is your current status of your Tibber contract? Pulse is active - but do you currently have an hourly contract? Or monthly pricing?

[maduuto]

Yes, normal hour contract with pulse.

[maduuto]

But i have seen this is a second "home", which is an old contract bevore moving years ago. tibber has saved it. Think the issue is that live measurement is active for all homes, i can not activate it differently for the standard home and deactivate it for the other home which is not active anymore

[hombach]

Did you try to deactivate this obsolete home in config?

[maduuto]

didnt work very well during saving, now tibber has removed the old home, i restartet the script and now it works

[hombach]

Great! So this issue is fixed - how did you manage to get it deleted? Just asked the support? Looks like there are more users with the same problem.

[maduuto]

Yes, was deleted within one working day. But on tibberlink one or two days later, i had to restart the adapter and manually reactivate the right home, than it worked.
