Configuration

Entity ID tip

<home_name> is a placeholder for your Tibber home display name in Home Assistant. Entity IDs are derived from the displayed name (localized), so the exact slug may differ. Can't find a sensor? Use the Entity Reference (All Languages) to search by name in your language.

Initial Setup​

After installing the integration:

  1. Go to Settings → Devices & Services
  2. Click + Add Integration
  3. Search for Tibber Price Information & Ratings
  4. Enter your API token from developer.tibber.com
  5. Select your Tibber home from the dropdown (if you have multiple)
  6. Click Submit — the integration starts fetching price data

The integration will immediately create sensors for your home. Data typically arrives within 1–2 minutes.

Adding Additional Homes​

If you have multiple Tibber homes (e.g., different locations):

  1. Go to Settings → Devices & Services → Tibber Prices
  2. Click Configure → Add another home
  3. Select the additional home from the dropdown
  4. Each home gets its own set of sensors with unique entity IDs

Options Menu​

After initial setup, open the configuration menu at:

Settings → Devices & Services → Tibber Prices → Configure

A menu appears with all configuration sections. Pick any section, adjust settings, then return to the menu — there is no required order. All sections have sensible defaults and can be revisited independently at any time.
