Tibber Binding

I’m quite sensitive regarding TimeSeries because I see many problems during setup, but if it runs, it runs!

I cannot state a root cause yet but I assume the use case and it gets into technical details

  • Tibber thing (or other thing providing forecast) is created
  • Itens are attached e.g. add equipment to model and stay null but binding sends forecast to channel (not item) for 100%, I’m sure!
    • Mostly during 1st setup the items are not connected to the right persistence forecast strategy in beforehand.
      Just my guess, I know I’ve done that plenty of times!
    • So after guidance items are attached to the correct persistence strategy
      • now the persistence is correct but items still stay null.
        Of couse: the new attached persistence hasn’t received any data yet!
      • the binding itsself, which is just updating channels, not items isn’t aware of any item persistence changes
        • due to the fact TIbber is updating TimeSeries once per day you’ll stay a long time with null items

@jlaur We discussed several times regarding update strategy. Do you think the above analysis is correct?
