Configuration

When adding the Hydro-Peak integration to Home Assistant, you will need to know your rate plan offer. For example:

  • Flex-D: Your offer is TPC-DPC
  • Winter Credit: Your offer is CPC-D

You will need to configure the integration directly within Home Assistant to align with your specific rate plan.

Automations

A blueprint is a template that simplifies the process of creating automations by providing pre-configured settings and triggers. Using these blueprints, you can quickly set up automations tailored to Hydro-Peak.

Winter Credit

Use the blueprint for Winter Credit to automate actions during peak events:

Open your Home Assistant instance and show the blueprint import dialog with a specific blueprint pre-filled.

Flex-D

Use the blueprint for Flex-D to automate actions during peak events:

Open your Home Assistant instance and show the blueprint import dialog with a specific blueprint pre-filled.

Sensors

HydroPeak provides the following sensors to monitor and prepare for peak events (where * is your offer):

Next Event Begin

  • Entity ID: sensor.hydropeak_*_event_start
  • Description: A timestamp indicating when the next peak event begins.

Next Event End

  • Entity ID: sensor.hydropeak_*_event_end
  • Description: A timestamp indicating when the next peak event ends.

Next Preheat Start

  • Entity ID: sensor.hydropeak_*_preheat
  • Description: A configurable timestamp allowing you to prepare devices in advance of a peak event.

Notes

  • Ensure you configure the integration with the correct rate plan offer for accurate results.
  • Use the timestamp sensors in your automations to turn off non-essential devices, adjust heating, or prepare your smart home for peak events.
  • Do not rely on diagnostic sensors for triggering automations.
