current price

[otto2704]

Hi,
I want to compare EPEX prices to my current price including my power use per 15 minutes.
For that I need the current epex price, but I am struggling with that.
As far as I understand, I should use get_lowest_price_interval with earliest start 15 minutes in the past (assuming to start the automation every full 15 minutes).
But how to calculate this?
earliest_start: '{{ now().replace(minute=(now().minute - 15)) }}'
is of course not working when called within the first 15 minutes of an hour (not talking from midnight or month change :-( ).
Could anyone please give me a hint on how this can be done?
Best regards and thanks in advance,
Otto

forget the question please
found out that I can only define a duration without start and stop. this should work....
