Possibly a Contribution - Vattenfall Time Tariff Node #171

Open crusaider opened 10 months ago

crusaider commented 10 months ago

I am using your nodes to control a air to water heater. Since I'm in Sweden I need to take into account the Vattenfall time tariff in the price calculation. To achieve this I have built a very simple node that takes input in the shape produced by ps-receive-price node and simply ads the proper tariff price. I't very simple and since I have not been able to find any API providing the price data it uses some config props where the user is expected to set the high and low tariffs.

I have published the node as @crusaider/node-red-contrib-vattenfall-tariff.

If it would be of interest I could imagin make it part of the power saver package trough a pull request or maybe it's easier to simply mention it's existence somewhere in your docs to make it easier for users to find.

Thank you for this. What you could do to share this is to make an example of your flow and document the whole stuff in a Markdown-file. To do that you would have to clone the repository, write the example doc and make a pull request.
