Tibber Energy

When to use

Use when the user asks about:

• Current or upcoming electricity spot prices
• Cheapest time to run a load (dishwasher, laundry, EV charging)
• Suspicious consumption spikes
• Device actions based on price thresholds

Setup

Set environment variables before running:

export TIBBER_ACCESS_TOKEN="your_tibber_token"
export TIBBER_HOME_ID="optional_home_id"

TIBBER_HOME_ID is optional if the account has one home.

You can also copy .env.example to .env and fill values locally:

cp .env.example .env

Alternatively, for shareable/persistent configuration, create: ~/.config/tibber-energy/config.json

You can copy the template from this repo:

cp config.json.example ~/.config/tibber-energy/config.json

The scripts will use credentials in this order: 1) environment variables (TIBBER_*) 2) ~/.config/tibber-energy/config.json 3) interactive prompt (only if you pass --prompt-missing-secrets)

Run

Use the wrapper from the skill directory:

bash run.sh prices

Commands

1) Fetch current and upcoming hourly spot prices

bash run.sh prices --hours 36

2) Find optimal time for appliance or EV charging

Estimate hours from kwh / power-kw, then find cheapest contiguous block:

bash run.sh optimize \
  --kwh 28 \
  --power-kw 11 \
  --window-start "2026-04-27T18:00:00+02:00" \
  --window-end "2026-04-28T08:00:00+02:00"

For fixed duration instead of kWh:

bash run.sh optimize --duration-hours 2

3) Monitor consumption and flag anomalies

bash run.sh anomalies --lookback-hours 168 --sigma 2.5

4) Control smart-home devices by price threshold

Use shell commands for your automation endpoint, Home Assistant script, or smart plug CLI.

Dry-run:

bash run.sh control \
  --price-below 0.15 \
  --on-command "ha service call switch.turn_on --entity_id switch.ev_charger" \
  --off-command "ha service call switch.turn_off --entity_id switch.ev_charger"

Execute commands:

bash run.sh control \
  --price-above 0.35 \
  --on-command "ha service call switch.turn_on --entity_id switch.boiler" \
  --off-command "ha service call switch.turn_off --entity_id switch.boiler" \
  --execute

Notes

• Prices are read from currentSubscription.priceInfo (today + tomorrow).
• Consumption anomaly detection compares latest hour against lookback mean/stdev.
• Start with dry-run control mode and verify commands before --execute.

Safety

• Never commit or publish .env with real access tokens.
• Keep --execute off until threshold logic is verified in dry-run.
• Treat --on-command and --off-command as trusted input only (they run as shell commands).
• By default the scripts are non-interactive; pass --prompt-missing-secrets only when you want to enter credentials interactively.

Publisher Checklist (ClawHub)

• Include: SKILL.md, run.sh, tibber_energy.py, .env.example, config.json.example, .gitignore
• Exclude: .env, __pycache__/, local logs, temporary files
• Validate from a clean shell:

- cp .env.example .env and fill valid credentials - bash run.sh prices --hours 6 - bash run.sh optimize --duration-hours 2 - bash run.sh anomalies --lookback-hours 168 --sigma 2.5 - bash run.sh control --price-below 0.15 --on-command "echo on" --off-command "echo off"
