The **EnergyZero** {% term integration %} integrates the [EnergyZero](https://www.energyzero.nl/) API platform with Home Assistant.
The integration makes it possible to retrieve the dynamic energy/gas prices
from EnergyZero in order to gain insight into the price trend of the day and
to adjust your consumption accordingly.

## Use cases
With the [energy dashboard](/energy) you can use the `current hour` price entity to calculate how much the electricity or gas has cost each hour based on the prices from EnergyZero. Or use one of the actions in combination with a [template sensor](#prices-sensor-with-response-data) to show the prices for the next 24 hours in a chart on your dashboard.
## Data updates
The integration will poll the EnergyZero API every 10 minutes to update the data in Home Assistant.
## Known limitations
The prices retrieved via the API are bare prices including VAT, however an energy company also charges other rates such as **energy tax** and **purchase costs**. The integration has no configuration option to add these values, but you could create a [template sensor](#all-in-price-sensor) for this.
## Sensors
The EnergyZero integration creates a number of sensor entities for both gas and electricity prices.
### Energy market price
Every day around **14:00 UTC time**, the new prices are published for the following day.
- The `current` and `next hour` electricity market price
- Average electricity price of the day
- Lowest energy price
- Highest energy price
- Time of day when the price is highest
- Time of day when the price is at its lowest
- Percentage of the current price compared to the maximum price
### Gas market price
For the dynamic gas prices, only entities are created that display the
`current` and `next hour` price because the price is always fixed for
24 hours; new prices are published every morning at **05:00 UTC time**.
## Actions
The energy and gas prices are exposed using [actions](/docs/scripts/perform-actions/). The actions populate [Response Data](/docs/scripts/perform-actions#use-templates-to-handle-response-data) with price data.
### Action `energyzero.get_gas_prices`
Fetches the gas prices. The `config_entry` value be found using the **Actions** tab in the **Developer Tools**, selecting the desired entity and then switching to YAML.
| Data attribute | Optional | Description | Example |
| -------------- | -------- | ---------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------- |
| `config_entry` | no | Config entry ID to use. | 1b4a46c6cba0677bbfb5a8c53e8618b0 |
| `incl_vat` | no | Defines whether the prices include or exclude VAT. | false |
| `start` | yes | Start time to get prices. Defaults to today 00:00:00 | 2023-01-01 00:00:00 |
| `end` | yes | End time to get prices. Defaults to today 00:00:00 | 2023-01-01 00:00:00 |
{% tip %}
You can get your `config_entry` by using actions within the [developer tools](/docs/tools/dev-tools/): use one of the EnergyZero actions and view the YAML.
{% endtip %}
#### Response data
The response data is a dictionary with the gas timestamps and prices as string and float values.
{% raw %}
```json
{
"prices": [
{
"timestamp": "2023-09-25 03:00:00+00:00",
"price": 1.1
},
{
"timestamp": "2023-09-25 04:00:00+00:00",
"price": 1.05
}
]
}
```
{% endraw %}
### Action `energyzero.get_energy_prices`
Fetches the energy prices. The `config_entry` value be found using the **Actions** tab in the **Developer Tools**, selecting the desired entity and then switching to YAML.
| Data attribute | Optional | Description | Example |
| -------------- | -------- | ---------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------- |
| `config_entry` | no | Config entry ID to use. | 1b4a46c6cba0677bbfb5a8c53e8618b0 |
| `incl_vat` | no | Defines whether the prices include or exclude VAT. | false |
| `start` | yes | Start time to get prices. Defaults to today 00:00:00 | 2023-01-01 00:00:00 |
| `end` | yes | End time to get prices. Defaults to today 00:00:00 | 2023-01-01 00:00:00 |
{% tip %}
You can get your `config_entry` by using actions within the [developer tools](/docs/tools/dev-tools/): use one of the EnergyZero actions and view the YAML.
{% endtip %}
#### Response data
The response data is a dictionary with the energy timestamps and prices as string and float values.
{% raw %}
```json
{
"prices": [
{
"timestamp": "2023-09-25 03:00:00+00:00",
"price": 0.05
},
{
"timestamp": "2023-09-25 04:00:00+00:00",
"price": 0.12
}
]
}
```
{% endraw %}
## Templates
Create template sensors to display the prices in a chart or to calculate the all-in hour price.
### Prices sensor with response data
To use the response data from the actions, you can create a template sensor that updates every hour.
{% raw %}
```yaml
template:
- trigger:
- trigger: time_pattern
hours: "*"
action:
- action: energyzero.get_energy_prices
response_variable: prices
data:
config_entry: 1b4a46c6cba0677bbfb5a8c53e8618b0
incl_vat: true
sensor:
- name: Energy prices
device_class: timestamp
state: "{{ now() }}"
attributes:
prices: '{{ prices }}'
```
{% endraw %}
### All-in price sensor
To calculate the all-in hour price, you can create a template sensor that calculates the price based on the current price, energy tax, and purchase costs.
{% raw %}
```yaml
template:
- sensor:
- name: EnergyZero all-in current price
unique_id: allin_current_price
icon: mdi:cash
unit_of_measurement: "€/kWh"
state_class: measurement
state: >
{% set energy_tax = PUT_HERE_THE_PRICE %}
{% set purch_costs = PUT_HERE_THE_PRICE %}
{% set current_price = states('sensor.energyzero_today_energy_current_hour_price') | float(0) %}
{{ (current_price + energy_tax + purch_costs) | round(2) }}
```
{% endraw %}
## Removing the integration
This integration follows standard integration removal steps. If you also use the template sensors, you need to remove them manually.
