As part of the earlier post regarding Home Assistant notification automation cheaper electricity Nordpool, I have made an automation with adaptive heating based on the outdoor temperature and electricity prices. It can be used as a base for your own automation but should be adjusted to your own liking. We our self have a comfort temperature of 23 degrees C indoor.
I have planed to add weather forecast into the adaptive automation. We have water based heating that is very slow, and on sunny days there are some problem with excess heat. So we could benefit of reducing the heating on sunny days.
