Actions Overview

Tibber Prices provides actions (formerly called "services") that you can use in automations, scripts, and dashboards. Home Assistant surfaces them in Developer Tools → Actions and in the automation/script editor.

Behind the scenes, YAML still uses the service: key — but the UI calls them "actions".

Finding Your Config Entry ID

Most actions accept an optional entry_id parameter that identifies the config entry (= integration instance) of the Tibber home you want to query. If you only have one home configured, you can omit entry_id entirely — the integration auto-selects your only config entry. If you have multiple homes, you need to specify which one.

In the Action UI — no lookup needed

When you use the action through the Home Assistant interface (Developer Tools → Actions, or the Action picker inside the automation / script editor), the entry_id field renders as a dropdown list showing all your configured Tibber Prices instances. Just select your home from the drop-down and Home Assistant fills in the correct ID automatically. You never have to deal with the raw ID string.

In YAML — copy from the integration menu

When you write YAML directly (automations, scripts, Lovelace dashboard cards), you need the actual ID string. The quickest way to get it:

1. Go to Settings → Devices & Services
2. Find the Tibber Prices integration card
3. Click the ⋮ (three-dot) menu on the card
4. Choose "Copy Config Entry ID"
5. Paste the value wherever you see YOUR_CONFIG_ENTRY_ID in the YAML examples

The ID looks like a long alphanumeric string, for example 01JKPC7AB3EF4GH5IJ6KL7MN8P.

Multiple homes?

If you have configured more than one Tibber home, each home has its own config entry ID. Repeat the steps above for each integration card to get the individual IDs.
