iBoost Alternative Gas Price Source

[dandwhelan]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I used iBoost in a backwards, non-traditional iBoost way. I want to manually enter a fake gas price with an input.number.namehere field. Predbat doesn't seem to allow me to use inputs and only accepts the sensor "sensor.(octopusenergy|)gas[0-9a-z]+[0-9a-z]+_current_rate)'"

I'd like to use ...

metric_octopus_gas: 'input_number.gasprice'

Describe alternatives you've considered Manual HA Automations

Additional context Can you please also allow iBoost today accept multiple sources to populate the KWs used? Abit like how you can add more in 'car_charging_energy'

Thanks

So I use the use iboost when cheaper than gas. Another way you could do this is implement the car don't charge over x price into iboost.

There is a version now on main where you can set the gas rate manually like you do electric e.g.

rates_gas:
  rate: 5.0
