Tariffs not working

[dbpage]

Feedback

The YAML and automation "Advanced Configuration" examples don't work for me. I'm not sure the documentation is accurate. The first thing I notice is that the YAML has "tariffs" and the automation has "tariff." Utility_meter does not accept "tariff;" it only accepts "tariffs." I changed the automation to "tariffs," but it still doesn't work. The simple YAML works fine without the tariffs.

I added the following to configuration (tailored to my source):

utility_meter:
  daily_energy:
    source: sensor.current_energy_usage
    name: Daily Energy
    cycle: daily
    tariffs:
      - peak
      - offpeak
  monthly_energy:
    source: sensor.current_energy_usage
    name: Monthly Energy
    cycle: monthly
    tariffs:
      - peak
      - offpeak

I added the following to automations:

trigger:
    - platform: time
      at: "09:00:00"
      variables:
        tariffs: "peak"
    - platform: time
      at: "21:00:00"
      variables:
        tariffs: "offpeak"
  action:
    - service: select.select_option
      target:
        entity_id: select.daily_energy
      data:
        option: "{{ tariffs }}"
    - service: select.select_option
      target:
        entity_id: select.monthly_energy
      data:
        option: "{{ tariffs }}"

Hey there @dgomes, mind taking a look at this feedback as it has been labeled with an integration (utility_meter) you are listed as a code owner for? Thanks!

Thanks for your response.  I am suggesting there is an issue with documentation.  The tariff example doesn't work, and there are inconsistencies between the config and automations. -------- Original message --------From: Diogo Gomes @.> Date: 9/8/23 5:23 AM (GMT-05:00) To: "home-assistant/home-assistant.io" @.> Cc: Dennis Page @.>, Author @.> Subject: Re: [home-assistant/home-assistant.io] Tariffs not working (Issue #28835) This is not a support forum, please use https://community.home-assistant.io Format your code and provide logs

In the automation "tariff" is a variable, you could just call it "abc" it would work the same.

Use "Traces" tool in the automation editor to diagnose your automation and check what is going on, also check home assistant logs

I have implemented Tariffs exactly as documented and it still doesn't work. No issues are reported in Traces; the variable changes to Peak and Offpeak as designed. System logs report the following:
