Hi. I have no way of testing this so will need a bit more information. The card shows import or export based on the animated power flow and the power value (+-). Does Octopus provide separate sensors when importing or exporting?

The octopus integration provides the price for import and price for export.
assuming I understand correctly, we could update the energy_cost
with the following:
export_price: sensor.octopus_export
import_price: sensor.octopus_import
Then depending on the flow of the electricity we can pick which of these options to use?
I am using this Integration
it has these two sensors.
sensor.agile_current_import_rate sensor.agile_current_export_rate
I am happy to do any testing if you decide to implement this
Ok I understand. It can be implemented as per @marksie1988 suggestion above
I've added this to https://github.com/slipx06/sunsynk-power-flow-card/releases/tag/2.2.0
Attribute | Requirement | Default | Description -- | -- | -- | -- energy_cost_buy: | Optional | | Sensor that provides current buy energy cost per kWh energy_cost_sell: | Optional | | Sensor that provides current sell energy cost per kWhThe card will display the correct cost based on grid power
Thanks for adding this. The sun has just gone in and I am using the battery 😄. I will check it.
Working fantastic. Thank you very much.
Is there an existing issue for this?
Current Behavior
Shows the import rate
Expected behaviour
Currently works as designed
Possible Solutions
Show the Octopus Export and Import rate depending on direction. Change colour or add an arrow and show the current price depending on if you are importing or exporting
Mode
Both
Context / Reason
It shows importing all the time, even if you are exporting. I thought it might be nice to the price on what is happening at the time.
This is the best energy card out there for Home Assistant in my view.
