Tibber Binding

I have now tried to implement “Price Level” as a String channel in the binding (normal, cheap, expensive etc is returned as a String value).

Please feel free to test new version of the binding:
org.openhab.binding.tibber-2.5.8-SNAPSHOT.jar

Works great, thank you!

I’m currently having a hard time getting the binding to subscribe to real-time data. It updates once and that’s it. Tried everything now, deleting things, items linking, TMP and cache. Restarted several times, but same results. I tried binding 2.7 and 2.8… currently on oh2.4…any idea? Thanks Chris

Strange. Do you get any log response? Could you try enabling debugging (log:set debug)? Would assume everything work as it should when running Tibber API explorer?

Hi Stian,

I’ve set my log to DEBUG, and get some log response. I can confirm that everything works when running the Tibber API explorer. I’ve sent you a PM with my log results.

Best regards
Christian

Hey there,

after installing this thing and configured api and homeId i have the following error in the log:

2020-10-06 19:22:22.256 [ERROR] [core.thing.internal.ThingManagerImpl] - Exception occurred while initializing handler of thing 'tibber:tibberapi:20189b38': com.google.gson.JsonNull cannot be cast to com.google.gson.JsonObject

i’am running on OH 2.5.9 and openjdk version “1.8.0_265”

Could you enable debug logging and do a OH reboot to get a more detailed log as part of thing initialisation?

Expect it could be related to having Tibber Pulse only, no Tibber subscription? If so, you could try replacing your Tibber installation with a manual installation of the binding:
https://community.openhab.org/t/tibber-binding/67019/94?u=kjoglums

i have no pulse and for now no active contract (it starts in a few weeks). so some values in the response are null. Maybe thats the Problem? (I think this should also be covered by the code)

Yes, that is likely the problem. But if not having neither subscription, nor Pulse, I would assume most of the values would be null, and the binding would be “useless”. Again, a debug log would be needed to see the response in your specific case.

Anyway, the post I linked to in my previous post has a link to manual download / installation, and this binding version does a check for null values. Basically, if there is no data to fetch your thing will be set to OFFLINE.

indeed consumption is null:

{
  "data": {
    "viewer": {
      "homes": [
        {
          "consumption": null
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

But i’am interested in current energy price:

{
  "data": {
    "viewer": {
      "homes": [
        {
          "currentSubscription": {
            "priceInfo": {
              "current": {
                "total": 0.233,
                "energy": 0.0341,
                "tax": 0.1989,
                "startsAt": "2020-10-07T15:00:00+02:00"
              }
            }
          }
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

Would then recommend to do a manual install of the binding with the binding version referred to above.

Enable debug logging, and present results as part of thing initialisation. Log should then show the actual response for your case.

Hi.

Any news regarding this?
I am also having problems with live meassurments in OH 2.5.9, but on Tibber API explorer the meassurment is live, see images below.

In the example from the docs I had to change the [W] to [%.0f W] and so ON. Then everything worked fine.

Raspberry pi 4
Openhabian
Openhab 2.5.10-1

new to OpenHab, but I just installed the Tibber-Binding. Noticed that the log was spammed with [vent.ItemStateChangedEvent] - TibberAPI_PowerConsumptionProduction changed from ... ...
I added a filter to the logs:

/var/lib/openhab2/etc/org.ops4j.pax.logging.cfg

log4j2.appender.event.filter.tibber.type = RegexFilter log4j2.appender.event.filter.tibber.regex = .*(TibberAPI_PowerConsumptionProduction|TibberAPI_TotalCost).* log4j2.appender.event.filter.tibber.onMatch = DENY log4j2.appender.event.filter.tibber.onMisMatch = ACCEPT

Now i get a few of these every hour. Any idea whats going on?

[WARN ] [ibber.internal.handler.TibberHandler] - IO Exception: java.util.concurrent.TimeoutException: Total timeout 20000 ms elapsed

The TibberAPI_PowerConsumptionProduction should be actual updates/changes of your item.

For the Total timeout 20000 ms elapsed, this often happens immediately after hour changes, as Tibber requires some time to calculate the new values. Uncertain how this could be avoided.

Thanks Stian.
I added the log filter just to remove som stress from the SD-card
As to the timeout, i just wanted to know if there was anything wrong with my setup.

Hi guys, a total noob here. I have got the Tibber binding to work (thank you for an awesome binding!) - I just wonder one thing: am I missing something or is it not possible to get the different hourly prices (not cost) from the binding for today and (if available) tomorrow? I know how to get the current price right now but not the coming prices so to speak.

This to be able to plan when it is a good time to consume the most energy in the household. My goal is to have a graph showing up with the price for the different hours today, just like in the app from Tibber. But either I don’t understand the different channels or it is actually not there yet in the binding.

If my question is really stupid, please forgive me. My technical knowledge is not on the level it should be. Just a happy amateur.

Hi, “future” price is currently not implemented in the binding.

Hi,
ok, thank you for a clear answer, appreciated!

Ok, now with active contract still the Plugin is not working:
